Smith has also received offers from Kim Mulkey's LSU, Larry Wicker's Auburn and Molly Miller's Arizona. She took an unofficial visit to UCLA last year.
Smith is not expected to make her collegiate decision soon, especially as more schools may still offer her a scholarship. With her performance for 7 Days in the Adidas 3SSB Circuit, the offers would likely only increase.
She was named the 2025 Gatorade Player of the Year in California after leading the Knights to a 30-1 record and the CIF Southern Section Open Division title. Smith averaged 23.2 points, 8.1 assists, 4.5 steals and 2.7 rebounds as a sophomore in the 2024-2025 season.
She was also a finalist for the Naismith Award, losing to the No. 1 prospect in the Class of 2025, Aaliyah Chavez.
