More National Attention for Josh Smith

ESPN picked up on the local story about Husky recruiting target Josh Smith joining Kentwood High School’s football team. Check it out here.

More interesting than the discussion of his football playing, which we’ve been discussing locally for over a week, is all of the info about his health and how bad his breathing was until he had his tonsils and adenoids out. The story also says that he’s lost a lot of weight.

Love to see a local kid getting national attention — particularly if he’s going to wind up picking UW. The story says his AAU coach believes he’ll choose UCLA or UW, which is what we’ve been hearing for a while now, and Smith mentions that he’s made no decision and has no timetable for making his pick.
