IU basketball gains commitment from 4-star recruit

Coach Tom Crean talks to senior guard Yogi Ferrell during practice Wednesday before the Hoosiers face Chattanooga at the Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, Iowa.

Justin Smith committed to IU on Monday night.

The four-star small forward, per 247Sports Composite rankings, out of Lincolnshire, Illinois, becomes the second commit for IU in the class of 2017. He joins three-star point guard Aljami Durham from Lilburn, Georgia.

Smith took an official visit to Bloomington on Sept. 10 and an official visit to Villanova on Sept. 16. The two schools led in the battle for his services, and that battle also included the likes of Stanford and Xavier.

According the 247Sports, Rob Judson was his main recruiter.
