Prep School is Good Option

Prep schools are a great option for athletes who need a year to mature physically and/or mentally. Academics are not the only reason someone can benefit from an extra year. You lose a year of eligibility for every year you play for a junior college. You can go to a good prep school for a year and later red shirt for a year without losing any eligibility. It is important to find a good one who has a coach who will make sure you get significant minutes but, apart from that, I see little downside to going to a prep school. Most college coaches develop a good relationship with one or more prep school coaches so they can send prospective athletes to a prep school when they are out of scholarships and they believe the athlete will blossom with an extra year against good competition. Prep school coaches who have a good relationship with a college coach usually do what they can to assure the college coach that the athlete will maintain his commitment to attend the school that nurtured him.

Not sure if anyone posted these or not previously, just looked quickly--he is #32 on the white team.

Seems to be a very good passer, he gets good position in the post and scores a couple easy buckets. It will be interesting to see him play the 3 (or 2) at ISU--they primarily had him at the 4 during this particular game on Youtube.
 
NEPSAC Class AAA Championship - MCI 73, New Hampton 56.

Guess who was named the MVP?

Khristian Smith. He had 28 today. Amazing day to be a Sycamore!
 
Nice article and video on Khristian and his championship MCI squad.

Certainly bodes well doesn't it...
I bet he's feeling even better about his decision right about now.

Good interview with him in the article. This kid is the one I think can come in right away and help us out! Sounds like he is happy to be committed to state and with the where this team is headed in the coming seasons who can blame him. Anyone know when he is planning on signing his LOI?
 
Is he still a "verbal"?
Glad to know that he was aware of ISU's success during the interview.
 
ESPN still has him as verbal...
I guess the Prep School year made him a "free agent".
I see that other schools listed are: Evansville, Drake, IUPUI and Morehead State

Of those... only 2 are conference champions this year! ;-)

Former Pike standout Khristian Smith (Indiana State commit) was named Most Valuable Player of the New England Preparatory School Athletic Council Class AAA Tournament last week. Smith, who attends Maine Central Institute, scored 28 points in a 73-56 win over New Hampton (N.H.) in the championship and 15 points in an 87-68 win over top-seeded Brewster (N.H.) in the semifinals.

Have the Sycamores received K. Smith's LOI yet? Have not seen any news of it?
