Walbrook's Smith draws attention from Memphis' Calipari

A packed gym was at Walbrook on Friday night to watch All-Metro junior forward Roscoe Smith and the home team knock off D.C-based Cesar Chavez, 73-66, in the nightcap of the Function at the Junction. Among those in attendance was Memphis coach John Calipari, who watched Smith score 35 points, grab 11 rebounds, block eight shots and dish out three assists in what has become a typical all-around standout effort.

The 6-foot-8 Smith is one of the most highly-touted juniors in the nation and he's drawn interest from most of the major college programs. After registering 12 double doubles as a sophomore, Smith is averaging 29 points, 12 rebounds and 4.5 blocks in helping the Warriors to a 3-1 mark. Calipari was in the area because his Tigers were playing at Georgetown on Saturday afternoon.
