I heard he (ellis) is a soft commit to ksu and cauley is a strong verbal to ksu...that's coming from kids I coach that go to hs with cauley

PW, who's the quote from.

consensus 2012 list.  9, 21, 44, 47.


saw somewhere that lawrence expects, or was promised, or something, a 'ship in 2012.  don't know if that means more that he's definitely in the class, or if he's a safety valve.

2012 guard Shawn Smith told me Kansas State and Clemson will come watch him workout tomorrow.

smith visited umiss. over the weekend.

Jacksonville ACD no longer a member of Florida HS Activities Association. Will be interesting to see if they develop into a nationally known prep school such as Oak Hill, Findlay, Brewster, etc.

Smith will take a visit to Kansas State on September 18th and then make the rounds before making a decision.

article says fsu leads, and talks about his unofficial there over the weekend.  i thought he was at ol' miss.  not sure if i had the school wrong, or if he visited ol' miss the previous weekend.

Interesting time for a visit, FB game will be in KC that weekend, but hey I'm not complaining, just glad to get him into town at a relatively early date like that.

Article goes on to say Smith does not plan on making a final decision in the real near future, will possibly be at beginning of his SR yr.

unranked, presumably hard-working, combo forward w. kstate interest.

Martin has to be salivating over this guy, hope we can convince him he's the perfect "fit":

"Who is the toughest - maybe not the best, but the most hard-nosed player - you saw in person this summer?

Meyer: Class of 2012 prospect Marcus Smart was the toughest prospect I saw this summer. He immediately reminded me of Paul Harris who played at Syracuse. Harris might be the toughest prospect I've ever scouted. Smart is a physically imposing, do-everything guard who absolutely loves contact and thrives on competitive confrontation.

Bossi: This is a really easy answer for me, 2012 wing Marcus Smart from Texas. He's as tough a player as I've ever seen on the high school level. He fights for rebounds, is an intense defender and has a knack for going and making plays when his team needs them the most. As far as I'm concerned, he's the gold standard for toughness in high school basketball.

smart + frank = scary for the rest of the big 12. Smart is a beast and most likely a 3-4 year player.  I think he could be a corner stone for a program.

Is this just an opinion from a Sooner fan, or is there more to it than that?
