As I reported Saturday morning, NC State 2016 point guard target Dennis Smith Jr. did in fact tear his ACL, and according to ESPN’s Paul Biancardi, he is expected to miss 6-9 months.  We talked to someone close to the situation, and they are expecting Smith to have a full recovery.  Smith went from being a unknown player to the #4 overall player in the 2016 recruiting class, and that doesn’t just happen.  That happened because Dennis is a fighter, a really hard worker, and has a killer instinct.  Through rehabilitation Smith will need to put the chip right back on his shoulder, and fight to prove once again that he is the best.
