Nick Smith, 2022 4-star, announces new top 8

Nick Smith Jr., a 6-foot-4 combo guard out of Sherwood (Ark.) North Little Rock told On3 he has a new list of suitors. Smith will no longer consider the professional route and has cut the NBL and the Overtime Elite league. Memphis and Arkansas Pine-Bluff have been added as their replacements.

Kentucky, Alabama, Auburn, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Kansas round out the rest of the list.

Nick Smith has already taken official visits to Alabama (June 1-3), Auburn (June 4-5), and Kansas (June 20). He also took an unofficial visit to Arkansas Pine-Bluff on August 22nd.

The original plan was for Smith to announce on Nov. 20. Smith says he is now unsure of when he will announce his college decision but plans to still complete the rest of his visits — Kentucky on Sept. 2, Arkansas on Sept. 12, and Oklahoma on Sept. 18 — before making his announcement.

On3 went in-depth with Smith in a previous interview.
