Dennis Smith, Jr. Gives the Latest on Recruitment

Posted Aug 5, 2014
Dennis Smith, Jr.: "I thought it was cool that Duke, UNC, N.C. State and Florida all reached out to me after I didn’t make the USA team. They all basically told me to use it as motivation and that’s what I plan to do. Right now everything is open for me and I’m definitely not favoring anyone. I don’t plan on taking any visits until basketball season starts back up; I’m not sure where I’ll be going right now, but I’ll let all of you guys know when I do." (USA Today)
