If he did not sign with us, does anyone know with whom he did ?? Advise--THANKS

I don't believe he has signed with anyone at all. The tweets from Paul Suellentrop, a Wichita Eagle reporter, indicates that Smart's coach doesn't know if he's going to wait to sign in the spring, re-open his recruiting availablilty, or if it's just a delay. His coach says Loyola coaches are calling him, but he doesn't know what's going on. As for Smart himself, he hasn't let on about any change of plans via his twitter account (@roseshow_23).

Nov 12 - 19 is considered the early signing period. The regular period is April 15 - May 20.

A lot of players who made verbal commitments signed today, but not all. Players have the option of signing until Nov 19 or reopening their recruitment and signing with a school during the regular period.

Right now all we know is that Smart remains unsigned. Nothing about his intentions, other than his verbal commitment to Loyola, is known.

I hope he signs tomorrow and was just delayed. But how many schools has he gone to in the past 3 years? 3? Should we be surprised if he changes his mind?

Won't be there but if anyone's at the kickoff event tomorrow I'm sure there'll be updates.

I think Smart made his intentions perfectly clear when he elected not to sign his LOI today at the signing ceremony at Sunrise, where 7 of his teammates honored their verbal commitments by signing with their respective schools.

His intention is to jilt Loyola, reopen his recruitment, showcase his talent at Sunrise, then wait for the high majors to come calling next spring with offers. No doubt either his college-bound teammates (or one or more of the college coaches who signed them) had Smart's ear the past couple months trying to pry him away from the Ramblers. If WSU wasn't already scholarship-overcommitted, I'd suspect Gregg Marshall with the tampering.

I'm still holding out hope that he signs, but I have a horrendous feeling about Sunrise. WSU is literally the only school within miles of that place. The Hamilton kid was on WSU's campus this summer. I have no idea if he technically enrolled at WSU, but his twitter profile picture for a good chunk of the summer was of himself in a WSU jersey on team picture day. And then when WSU just happens to be over the scholarship limit, he's stashed at that school. I would avoid words like tampering because it technically isn't illegal to recruit kids with verbal commitments, but I think WSU is not an "completely clean" program.

Hamilton signed his LOI with WSU yesterday.

Well he's certainly had some practice because he signed one last year too. http://wheatshockers.com/printthread.php?tid=734&page=3

There's also a potential recruiting violation up there. Students can't brandish signs asking potential recruits to come to the school. Duke is the biggest example of this rule that I can remember; they had their compliance team run around campus during Harrison Barnes' visit taking down signs from dorms.

This is all so odd. According to CSN, he signed yesterday
