Union County WR Shi Smith 6'0" 170lbs has had a change at the top of his recruiting list. For the longest time it was Clemson who was preferred by Smith but Monday night he revealed the Tigers have not contacted him in a while while USC has continued to make a strong push, so that’s changed his thinking.
“When they (Clemson) used to contact me every day and keep in touch with me they used to be number one, but now with Carolina contacting me every they have come up a lot,” Smith said. Would he call the Gamecocks his current favorite? “Right now, yes sir,” he said adding that Alabama currently is second on his list.
Smith actually had planned to go to Clemson’s junior day last Saturday but didn’t make it. He said the Tigers are still in his thinking despite not having heard much from them recently. He plans to visit USC again over his spring break and Alabama wants him to visit as well.
Smith said he hasn’t added new offers recently to his list of USC, Clemson, North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, NC State, Appalachian State, Kentucky and Towson. And a new school has popped up on his radar, Oklahoma. Smith said new Sooners support staff member Steve Spurrier Jr. recently contacted him to gauge his interest in his new program.
As for USC, Smith said Will Muschamp keeps in touch with him almost daily.
“He’s pretty much already told me what role I would play and stuff like that,” Smith said. “He’s just contacting me every day with little things like “it’s good to be a Gamecock” and stuff like that.”
Smith is looking at the middle of this coming season for making his decision.
