Rich getting richer as four-star decides

Athlete prospect Malcolm Smith (6-2, 216, 4.4) from Woodland Hills (Calif.) Taft had a very tough decision to make between three outstanding schools; USC, Cal and Notre Dame.
"I chose USC because there is a good balance between athletics and academics," Smith said. "When I put all the pieces together, USC was the place I wanted to be. We have a great class this year and we had a great class the year before.

"I want major in engineering and academics are very important to me," Smith said. "Getting an education is what college is all about."
"It was a tough decision," Smith said. "The toughest part was making the phone calls to Notre Dame and Cal."
"I feel good now that the decision has been made," Smith said. "It is definitely a relief."
