Athens' Smith picks Robert Morris!

Brady Smith, a senior guard from Athens High School, has signed to play basketball at Robert Morris-Springfield.

The 6-foot Smith averaged 8.2 points, 3.2 assists and 2.2 rebounds per game for Athens this past season, when he received honorable mention for the All-Sangamo Conference Team.

"Brady has a very good upside for us," Robert Morris head coach Scott Eades said.  "He's a pretty good athlete.  A lot of high school kids can score, but when they get into college, they don't have enought athletic ability to get open all the time."

"We believe Brady has that ability."
