2017 Guard Mark Smith to Announce on Wednesday

Mark Smith will announce his college choice on Wednesday at 7 p.m. ET at Edwardsville (IL) High School, his father told ZAGSBLOG.

Anthony Smith did not provide a final list of schools his son is considering.

The 6-foot-5 guard visited Ohio State officially last weekend and also visited Illinois unofficially. Smith had a home visit with Duke this past week and has also been recruited by Michigan State and Kentucky.

The 6-foot-5 Smith is ranked the No. 17 point guard in the Class of 2017 by 247Sports.com. He averaged 21.9 points, 8.2 rebounds and 8.4 assists last season.
