Smith to Louisville as Planned

It was ten days ago that Gotham Hoops first reported that Russell Smith would commit to Louisville on his official visit on the weekend of November 15th and 16th. 

When that visit finally took place this weekend the New York native did in fact give Cardinals’ head coach Rick Pittino his word. 

Smith is expected to sign his National Letter of Intent this Wednesday, still during the early signing period, and also his father’s birthday. 

His father, Russell Smith Sr., made the trip to Louisville with him this weekend. 

Smith is a creative playmaking guard who arrived at the South Kent school this year from Archbishop Molloy High School and ran with the New York Panthers on the summer circuit.
