Just when you thought there was no more news from Storrs.
Darius Smith, a 6-foot-2 combination guard from Marshall High in Chicago, has given the Huskies a verbal pledge.
More info to come.
9 p.m. update:
Smith averaged 23 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 6 assists last season for Marshall, according to coach Henry Cotton. He’s apparently a great defender, too.
“I can score and I can defend,” Smith said by phone Monday night.
Marquette, Arizona State and Cincinnati were Smith’s other top choices. Schools like Indiana, Kentucky and DePaul (among others) were also high on Smith.
