According to Smith's father Brian Thompson, both Roy Williams and John Thompson, III, along with an assistant from LSU are watching Smith, a 6-foot-7, 180-pound small forward, workout tonight.
Duke, Syracuse, Villanova, Wake Forest, Virginia (head coach), Virginia Tech, Tennessee and Texas have also been in recently to watch Smith.
All schools mentioned have offered Smith except for Duke and North Carolina with Virginia, LSU and Syracuse being his most recent offers.
Smith, who played sparingly on the travel circuit early on, ended his summer with a bang, scoring 22 points and dishing out seven assists in a winning effort in the championship game of the Nike Global Challenge.
Smith is the No. 11 ranked prospect in the class of 2010.
Roscoe Smith scouting report:
An electric athlete with length, Smith is a slasher and active rebounder. He finishes well around the basket and has a broad skill base which is in the process of developing. Comfortable with the ball both on the perimeter and the interior, Smith is also a versatile defender.
