Or’Tre Smith
Wando WR Or’Tre Smith Tuesday night debunked an Internet recruiting story from Monday that stated he no longer was considering Clemson and was down to a short list of USC and Georgia. Smith said he’s very much still involved with Clemson, his mother’s alma mater, and he has not eliminated any schools on his offer list.
“It’s no top anything,” Smith said. “I talk to USC. I talk to Georgia. I talk to Oklahoma, Clemson, UNC, Wake. I talk to everyone that tweets me and that keeps up with me. I’m open.”
Smith has taken visits to Clemson, USC, Georgia, Wake Forest and NC State. He’s going back to USC over his spring break and will visit North Carolina April 1st. He won’t attend either of the Clemson or USC spring games April 9th due to a track meet.
Smith said he’s getting the ultimate recruiting attention from USC coach Will Muschamp.
“Coach Muschamp, he’s recruiting me personally,” Smith said. “He messages me on Twitter every day, Go Gamecocks, stuff like that. I like that. I keep in touch with him. I tweet him back here and there. I keep in touch with Coach Muschamp. He thinks I’m a big priority and I can help out the team. I like that.”
Much has been made of Clemson recruiting out of state receivers and the Tigers, in fact, have an out of state receiver commitment in Amari Rodgers of Knoxville, TN. Plus, they are strongly involved with JJ Robinson of Lakeland, FL and Tee Higgins of Oak Ridge, TN. But Smith said the Tigers also remain involved with him.
“Coach Jeff Scott and Coach Elliott, they’ve been tweeting me more recently and I tweet back,” Smith said. “I don’t know when I’m going back up there.”
Smith said he still has the feeling Clemson wants him and he said all the offering schools are recruiting him “pretty hard.” He as offers from USC, Clemson, Florida State, Louisville, East Carolina, Georgia, Wake Forest, Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech, North Carolina, NC State, Tennessee and Oklahoma.
Smith plans to have a top six or seven list set by the end of this school year and he’d like to make his decision around the middle of his season. He is on track to graduate early.
