Indiana, Stanford, Michigan, Xavier, 'Nova and Wisconsin are 2017 four-star wing Justin Smith (@justinsmith3_) final six schools.

Interesting that Wilkes and Smith have IU, Ill, X, and UM. Can the B1G land both of these recruits?

I believe Illinois is being considered as well. Top 7 teams

After a dominant July for the Mac Irvin Fire the state’s top small forward Stevenson senior Justin Smith is ready to focus on recruiting.  Last week he cut his list to his final seven in Indiana, Michigan, Xavier, Illinois, Stanford, Villanova, and Wisconsin.

Smith informed PrepHoopsIllinois that he has lined up three official visits and two unofficial visits to this point.  They are:

August 14 – Michigan (Unofficial)
September 3 – Xavier (Unofficial)
September 10 – Indiana (Official)
September 17 – Villanova (Official)
September 30 – Stanford (Official)

Stay locked on PrepHoopsIllinois for the latest on the state’s #3 2017 prospect.

Bump. He needs to be on the first page.

By the end of the weekend, we may have a two player class!

I could see that. If that happens I will start to think Lonnie might be right.

Nah.

Wilkes knows he will start wherever he goes, and that we'll have enough room for J Smith and him.

A class of Durham, Smith, Wilkes, Waters, and a big would be a huge home run.

[WayneFleekHoosier 51,581]

I'm not saying Wilkes is worried about playing time. To me it's a just a sign if we take Smith now.

I guess, the discussion will have to wait, but if we get Smith early, I'm guessing no Wilkes and not because of PT, just because of other BS.

I think Wilkes and Smith can coexist in the same line up. I think that's what Crean wants even. 

[WayneFleekHoosier 51,581]

I don't doubt that. Smith for Hartman. Wilkes for OG. I'm certain that is the thought. Time will tell.

I haven't followed his recruitment at all, are we in a good position?

Yeah I'll be worried if we get a Smith and we start going hard on Tucker.  Otherwise let's prepare for a bumpy ride. 

[Stuhoo 89,933]

We will not slow-play a player as good as Smith

Is that what Wilkes wants is the question

He absolutely will start...but what position/role does that push him into?

I have to imagine you play him wherever it suits him best and if that means smith is a little out of role so be it. Smith will look better with him anyway
