Mavric Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Tim Miles @CoachMiles 1h Welcome to the #Huskers @Smittee_ We are thrilled to have you with us! #USALWAYS #GBR http://m.huskers.com/mobile/ViewArticle.dbml?atclid=209469060&…; University of Nebraska Men’s Basketball Coach Tim Miles announced Wednesday that point guard Tarin Smith (Ocean Township, N.J.) signed a National Letter-of-Intent with the Nebraska basketball program. Smith is a 6-foot-2, 175-pounder who played for Hall of Fame Coach Bob Hurley at St. Anthony, helping the Friars to consecutive state runner-up finishes. In two seasons as a starter, Smith guided the Friars to a 53-7 record and a pair of sectional titles. "Tarin is a great addition to our program,” Nebraska Coach Tim Miles said. “He is the complete package at the point guard. He has excellent feel for the game. He is a leader. He has a terrific skill set, and is long and athletic on the defensive end. I love his personality, and he is really an endearing, bright young man. The Huskers landed a treasure in Tarin Smith!" As a senior, he was a third-team all-state selection by the Newark Star-Ledger, averaging 15 points, four rebounds and four assists per game, as St. Anthony went 25-5 on the season. Smith reached double figures in all but two games as a senior, including a pair of 23-point outings. One of his best performances was a 12-point, eight-assist, six-rebound effort in a win over eventual state champion Roselle Catholic. Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Tarin Smith’s commute from Cather Hall to the Nebraska basketball practice facility is a five-minute drive. Compare that with the time the incoming freshman from Ocean Township, New Jersey, spent getting from home to high school, and he now has about four extra hours a day to enjoy. The 6-foot-1, 175-pound point guard literally took the long way to Nebraska. Smith used to arise at 5:30 a.m. to catch a 6:30 bus in Ocean Township that put him in Jersey City at 8:10 — just in time to complete the nearly two-hour commute with a 10-minute walk to St. Anthony High School. Why? “Because basketball around home was bad,” Smith said. “I couldn’t see myself getting the competition I needed or getting coached the way I needed down by the shore.” OWH Quote Link to comment
