Woah out of the woodwork!

Khristian, who is at Maine Center Institute prep, has decided to be a Sycamore! It looks like he and Cincinnati parted ways when they landed another wing player. Khristian also recently told Rivals he has grown another inch putting him at 6-foot-6.

Yeah, I definitely didn't see that coming, great to hear!

Our first former Pike Red Devil since LaSalle Thompson and Marcus Johnson!

Jason - he committed via Twitter correct? Do you have another source on this? Not saying that your not right, just curious if we have anything more solid than Twitter? lol


Reason I ask, I just told my dad and he said, "what the hell is a Twitter?". So I had to ask!

Let me answer my own question since this place is dead tonight, gesh people only post after we lose to Ball State - what a shame!

Golden reported this on his blog - a little more reliable than Twitter:

Here is his stats from his teams first tourney of the season. It was the National Showcase tourney for prep schools so all the best prep schools in the nation were there. Here is a link if anyone wants to look at the box scores.

http://www.newenglandrecruitingreport.com/events/event/4/National-Prep-Showcase.php

game 1- 18 pts 7 reb 3 ast and 2 to in 38 mins. Team lost

game 2- 19 pts 5 reb 4 ast and 0 to in 35 mins. Team won

Sounds like he originally committed to Cincy and then Cincy began to load up on wings and other recruits so Smith re-opened his commitment. Dont know if the break up was mutual or one sided but happy to have him as a sycamore next season. He should be ready to come in and play because going to prep school is like playing at a really good juco for a season! He will be playing against college level talent all season long.
 
I've never seen him play, but he sounds like a good one. Also, read in todays paper that Kelyn Block is an assistant at Pike. Maybe he helped get him here. Not sure if Block was there last year or not.

I checked the box scores. He's not doing good. He's playing GREAT!

Golden says he projects to be a "Lathan style swingman". If he's now 6'5" or 6'6", that could bode well...he could cause real matchup problems at the 3. ESPN's writeup says that he's more of a 2 than a 3, though.

I don't completely understand how prep school works...does he come in as a Sophomore next year?

Unless he spends the year working on his jumper, I see him as a "slasher" small forward. I saw him play once or twice at Pike and he was always around the basket.
 
there's just something about the word "slasher" i find terrifying in a basketball sense
