Just spoke with Kellen Smith's father. He informed me that Kellen will be attending Saginaw Valley State to play basketball next year.

 

Congrats to Kellen and his family.

Good for this young man. I really like to see hard work pay off. Congrats.

Congrats to Kellen and his family.

Good level of basketball. I think it will be good for the boy to get away from the area and out on his own.

Congrats to Kellen. Although he has abused my Camels over the past couple of years, it is great news for him to be able to use basketball to get an education.

Congrats to Kellen. This is a young man who worked hard to earn this!

I'm wondering if he had Sportsworx help him track down this opportunity.

Love to watch this kid play. Congrats!!!

Always good to see someone get an opportunity to get an education and get to continue their basketball career.

 

Saginaw Valley State is a D2 school in Michigan. They play in the GLIAC which is an outstanding sports conference very similar to the GLVC for those who follow NKU. Findlay won D2 National Championship out of this conference a couple of years ago. SVSU finished 4th in the GLIAC last year. Program appears to be on the upswing since they hired Frankie Smith former assistant to Charlie Coles at Miami of Ohio.

 

Is it going to be tough for a Scott Eagle to become an SVSU CARDINAL after all of those tough losses in 10th Region tourney to GRC Cardinals?

Congrats to Kellen. I wish him the best of luck. It is great when the KY boys get to do what they do best and get an education at the same time.

Congrats to Kellen and the Scott Eagle family on sending a kid on to the next level!! Good kid who deserves this opportunity!!

He's been a joy and a nightmare to watch. Congrats.

They are getting a good one.

Congrats!!!

I'd say some of the in-state schools missed the boat letting him get away. Kid can play.

Wondered the same thing. But, at the end of the day it's neither here nor there. Congratulations to Smith. Sounds like a good situation for him in a very good conference.

Kellen is a fine young man with a stong skill set and a good head for the game. I've had the pleasure of getting to know both him and his dad over the past several years. Great folks. I wish Kellen nothing but the best. Job well done Dad! :thumb:
