As an uncommitted, unsigned point guard in the Class of 2014, Tarin Smith’s stock has grown drastically in the last few months...Smith is being recruited by Providence, Creighton, Rhode Island, Lehigh, Delaware, Boston University, Boston College, Fordham and Florida International..Smith expects Providence head coach Ed Cooley and assistant Bob Simon to watch him Monday when St. Anthony plays in the Hoophall Classic at the Hall of Fame.
“If Providence offers, that’s something I might definitely look at,” Smith said. “They definitely need a point guard, especially with [Kris] Dunn getting hurt and Brandon [Austin] transferring [to Oregon], they’ve said they need a point guard. Coach Simon has come to see me a couple of times, so hopefully it works out.”
Asked if he believes he can play at the Big East level, Smith said, “Oh, yeah, for sure. I think I’m considered a late-bloomer as far as my growth and how my game has come along. I think now I’m definitely ready to play at the next level, Big East.” When (Coach) Hurley was asked the same question, he said, “If there’s more development coming.”
He has played behind some big-name point guards during his time at St. Anthony. Myles Mack is now at Rutgers, Kyle Anderson plays for UCLA and Josh Brown competes for Temple...On the AAU circuit, Smith played with Sports U alongside 2014 commits Karl Towns (Kentucky), Jared Nickens (Maryland), Wade Baldwin (Vanderbilt) and Quadri Moore (Cincinnati).
