Daryl Smith (Coach Smitty)

Women’s Basketball Recruits! Just a couple thoughts I’ve had watching the craziness in college athletics. 1) You should go where you are valued. Too many players go somewhere because of the “label” or the “location”. If the coaching staff doesn’t have a plan for you, there’s probably a reason for that. 2) When coaches reach out, don’t burn any bridges. Be yourself, communicate with them, and be honest. You never know where those coaches will end up. They may end up at your dream school. 3) Educate yourself! Too many people are sharing information that just isn’t true. Find out facts about college athletics and different programs. There are going to be hundreds of players without a place to go in a couple months. Don’t take an opportunity for granted.
