Some things in life just make way too much sense.
One of those things is carrying on a family legacy, something Malloy Smith has officially agreed to do starting this summer.
Malloy Smith commits to North Carolina
Following his official visit to Chapel Hill at the end of February, Smith wasted no time pledging his commitment to Hubert Davis and the Tar Heels. He will now follow the path set by his father, Kenny “The Jet” Smith, and his brother, KJ, to play basketball for North Carolina.
