Smith will be eligible to join the team for the upcoming 2008-09 season. While not on an athletic scholarship, Smith qualified for a full-ride academic scholarship as part of a program called The Kalamazoo Promise. The program pays for tuition and mandatory fees for any Kalamazoo Public School student to attend a Michigan public university, as long as they maintain a minimum gpa requirement and other requirements. Smith carries a 3.75 gpa. Smith averaged 14 points, seven rebounds and three steals per game as a junior. According to Loy Norrix head coach Damian Smith, she received scholarship offers from Tulsa, Detroit, Illinois State, Loyola-Chicago and Saginaw Valley State. Senior Brandie Baker was removed from the Michigan State commitment list a couple months ago over the uncertainty of her commitment after the coaching change. She recently officially committed to be a part of Sue Guevara's first recruiting class at Central Michigan. After reopening her recruitment, Baker chose the Chippewas over offers from Texas A&M, Arkansas, Michigan State and Iowa. READ MORE: Big Ten Recruiting: Commitments
