Colin Smith, 2022 four-star, commits to Vanderbilt

Colin Smith, a 6-foot-8 power forward out of Dallas (Texas) Compass Prep has committed to Vanderbilt basketball for the class of 2022, he tells On3.

Smith is the Commordores’ fourth commitment of the class. Vandy has also landed four-star center Lee Dort, four-star point guard Noah Shelby, and three-star power forward Malik Dia.

Smith chose the Vanderbilt Commodores over scholarship offers from Michigan, Arizona State, Stanford, Virginia, among others.

Vanderbilt now has a top-15 recruiting class nationally, and also the No. 2 class in the SEC, only behind Arkansas.

Scouting Report on Smith

On3’s National Basketball Analyst KJ Smith had this to say about Colin Smith:

“What makes Collin so great is that he has the ability to score at all three levels at the power forward position. Collin has a smooth stroke from three but possesses the ability to take one dribble from the three-point arc and dunk on a defender with ease. His game will translate well at the college level as a forward who has the ability to stretch the floor as a spot-up shooter and also create his own shot off the dribble. He often crashes the offensive boards for tip dunks and has a knack for making the right play for an open shot.”
