Valparaiso center Derrik Smits on his famous father, avoiding fouls and his dunking ability after 75-66 win over Northern Iowa Mike Berardino, IndyStar
INDIANAPOLIS – Derrik Smits was once recruited by Brad Stevens. That is a strong endorsement in college basketball, and Butler is now trying to close the deal.
Smits, a 7-1 center from Zionsville, announced a month ago he was transferring from Valparaiso. He graduated in December, so he would be immediately eligible and have one season at another school.
He has already made an informal visit to Butler and is scheduled to visit North Carolina State this weekend and Arizona State next week.
