Title: Reggie Smith
Post by: New Era Warriors on December 20, 2009, 12:51:50 PM: I was flipping through the High School Basketball section of the Chicago Tribune this morning and I came across an article about Thornton (Smith's team). Some quick notes about Reggie Smith and his team:

-Thornton is ranked 15 in the state
-They beat a typically good Homewood-Flossmoor 80-67.
-"Reggie Smith, a Marquette-bound senior, was typically outstanding."
-Reggie Smith was the "Player of the game" with 22 points and 7 assists.
-"The 6-foot Smith showed off his improved long-range shooting and playmaking ability that turned him into a Big East recruit."

Sounds like a very good player on a very good team. I'm looking forward to Smith arriving on campus and I think he can be a solid player for us if he continues to improve his shot.

We Are Marquette!

With Blue, Reggie, DJO, Buycks, and Junior all in the roto, and getting OTule back, we have some great depth and a nice balanced team. Add in the F roto of Butler, JJ, and EWill, that is some nice depth, athleticism, and talent.

Artie should have been drafted by the Packers

I don't remember Matthews or McNeal dunking like Smith and Blue until Soph year of college.
