Smith, an Edwardsville native, averaged 5.8 points during a mostly disappointing freshman season. The 6-foot-4 guard started 19 games but shot just 33.7 percent from the field and 23.2 percent from three. During Big Ten play, Smith averaged just 3.1 points, ninth among 11 scholarship players.

Apparently he wants to be full time PG with a path to NBA. He had plenty of opportunities to shine, but Frazier was dramatically better and Ayo comes in.

Mark Smith transferring from Illinois - TheRoyalTiger MU - 3/5 12:52:14
     FYI...No restrictions on his transfer(nm) - tjwheeler UI - 3/5 14:26:45
          if we land Ramey I wonder if we'd even be interested at this - CoolBreeze22 MU - 3/5 14:28:58
               Also, TJ said he wants to be a point guard - DevilsAdvocate MU - 3/5 14:30:19
     That would not help IL ST Louis recruiting to to that(nm) - raskolnikov MU - 3/5 13:28:40
     Consider Mizzou blocked - ERB KC - 3/5 13:24:54
          Did Martin try to sign Smith? - MakeShift MU - 3/5 14:01:23
          I'm not sure blocking schools is the issue. - tjwheeler UI - 3/5 13:33:02
               With better coaching I imagine he could realize his - kcnorthside MU - 3/5 14:12:32
                    Maybe the same can be said for Blake Harris as well.(nm) - sprintcar STL - 3/5 14:48:57
                         I think Harris was improving as the season went along. - kcnorthside MU - 3/5 15:07:21
                    What coaching does he need that he didn't get?(nm) - tjwheeler UI - 3/5 14:20:56
                         From what I've read it sounds like he was asked to - kcnorthside MU - 3/5 14:26:25
                              Frazier was the better player. - tjwheeler UI - 3/5 14:30:30
          not sure transfers can be blocked like LOIs(nm) - hefeweizen MU - 3/5 13:28:44
               They can't be outright blocked - kcnorthside MU - 3/5 14:14:02
               I think it is the other way around. As soon as they are - kmawv8 MU - 3/5 13:36:23
               yes they can (nm) - TigerJackSwartz MU - 3/5 13:32:09
          one of the TB lawyers please explain how blocking is legit - Macgrantt MU - 3/5 13:28:38
               Yes. Asked below, but even if a school says a kid is blocked - Cosmo MU - 3/5 13:38:56
                    IIRC the student athlete then has to pay their own way - doughboy MU - 3/5 13:45:53
                         Again, how is that enforceable? If the new school says - Cosmo MU - 3/5 13:51:20
                              I suppose the NCAA could rule you're using an ineligible - doughboy MU - 3/5 14:16:27
     would think he'd prefer a SEC school with baseball and bball - Macgrantt MU - 3/5 13:18:07
     Good. He had his chance to come here and passed... - mizzoumurfkc MU - 3/5 13:14:06
     He must want to play in March(nm) - Eggs MU - 3/5 13:01:57
     He and MU would have been better off if he had selected MU, - MU-TULSA MU - 3/5 13:00:49
          Yep, he's surely regretting that choice now. (nm) - myself MU - 3/5 13:02:43
               Yeah Sue we heard you the first time(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 3/5 13:03:19
     I think the "coaching like a raving lunatic" thing works - kcnorthside MU - 3/5 12:58:53
          They can see how much Smith regrets choosing the Illini. (nm) - myself MU - 3/5 13:01:04
     Best of luck to Mark. - tjwheeler UI - 3/5 12:58:41
          RE: Best of luck to Mark. - 90Tiger MU - 3/5 13:05:32
               Ha ha. That's funny. (nm) - Lerxst MU - 3/5 14:41:38
               And, Smith was a better "prospect" than Harris. - tjwheeler UI - 3/5 13:23:49
                    It's too bad he's not goings to stick it out there - BOILERTIGER MU - 3/5 13:35:24
                         he doesn't like the coaching staff (nm) - myself MU - 3/5 13:38:02
                         RE: It's too bad he's not goings to stick it out there - tjwheeler UI - 3/5 13:36:34
                              That is because they have dip****s in their ear(nm) - DevilsAdvocate MU - 3/5 13:52:28
                                   RE: That is because they have dip****s in their ear(nm) - tjwheeler UI - 3/5 14:06:59
               Lol 90. Lol(nm) - Uncle John MU - 3/5 13:19:48
               opps... opps... opps... opps...(nm) - Eggs MU - 3/5 13:09:04
               lol (nm) - myself MU - 3/5 13:07:51
               yep, not many people thought Smith would suck this bad. - tjwheeler UI - 3/5 13:07:04
                    I would be more worried by coaching staff is the problem(nm) - ajpe53 MU - 3/5 13:18:47
                         How? They started him 19 games and - tjwheeler UI - 3/5 13:22:17
                              highly talented and recruited player regresses under - ajpe53 MU - 3/5 13:23:49
                                   What did they do wrong? - tjwheeler UI - 3/5 13:24:40
                                        i don't know. i'm not at practice or in the locker room. - ajpe53 MU - 3/5 13:28:36
                                             Just saying he had plenty of opportunities - tjwheeler UI - 3/5 13:30:46
                    This is not only being wrong, but saying there's little to - kmawv8 MU - 3/5 13:16:02
                         The point is he was highly valued. - tjwheeler UI - 3/5 13:19:33
                              I'm aware of what point you were trying to make. - kmawv8 MU - 3/5 13:33:24
                                   You're missing it. We were discussing him as a prospect - tjwheeler UI - 3/5 13:35:18
                                        Not really. Uncle John simply said he'd rather have Harris - kmawv8 MU - 3/5 13:40:38
                                             Sigh - tjwheeler UI - 3/5 13:45:45
                              To early in the game to make that call. This happens to many - Uncle John MU - 3/5 13:22:54
                                   To make what call? - tjwheeler UI - 3/5 13:25:48
                                        To make the call that he's a failed prospect - Mormad MU - 3/5 13:26:33
                                             At no time did I say he was a failed prospect. - tjwheeler UI - 3/5 13:29:26
                         Those coaches are wrong on kids all the time - Mormad MU - 3/5 13:19:29
                    Don't think anyone expected him to shoot so poorly(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 3/5 13:08:31
                         I actually am fine with poor shooting. - tjwheeler UI - 3/5 13:09:49
                              That is also surprising, figured he'd be a bull on D and - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 3/5 14:13:25
                         poor coaching can have that effect on a player (nm) - myself MU - 3/5 13:09:02
          I'd assume after sitting out a year he'd have a chance to be - CoolBreeze22 MU - 3/5 13:00:36
     more bad pub for Underwood and the Illini (nm) - myself MU - 3/5 12:56:24
          Serious question, Sue: you spent a lot of time trying to - Gary P. MU - 3/5 13:03:13
               You and 3 or 4 others seem to be extremely obsessed with - myself MU - 3/5 13:21:43

                    oh zounami. You have issues(nm) - tjwheeler UI - 3/5 13:26:11
                         Is that who "sue" is? If so, you're proving my point... - myself MU - 3/5 13:43:16
                              Why would you, a ku fan, create so many handles? - tjwheeler UI - 3/5 14:05:06
               lol* - tjwheeler UI - 3/5 13:05:45
     Probably will go to DePaul - jlbomega MU - 3/5 12:55:09
          He should strongly consider a year in junior college. - zodiac6 JC - 3/5 12:59:31
          Why in the world would he go to DePaul.(nm) - Uncle John MU - 3/5 12:56:56
               Wasn't that one of his final three? - Cosmo MU - 3/5 12:58:13
                    Maybe Michigan St.?(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 3/5 12:59:34
                         That's right. I can't remember who I was thinking of - Cosmo MU - 3/5 13:00:28
                              I do recall Depaul with someone, can't remember who though - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 3/5 13:01:28
                                   Tyger Campbell? - doughboy MU - 3/5 13:39:01
                                   JT had interest in Depaul for a short time - tjwheeler UI - 3/5 13:12:49
                                        This is right(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 3/5 14:46:13

               lol Depaul(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 3/5 12:58:11
          If he hated losing at IU it would be worse there..nm - tigertix MU - 3/5 12:56:35
     He probably ends up at SLU (nm) - MrBlueSky MU - 3/5 12:54:50
     Again, damn he really wants out(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 3/5 12:53:57
     i think it is BS schools can block a transfer anywhere(nm) - ajpe53 MU - 3/5 12:53:43
          Correct. How is that enforceable anyway? - Cosmo MU - 3/5 12:59:49
               Its common to ban any team on your schedule but - asutiger ASU - 3/5 13:19:43
          Agree 100%(nm) - TheRoyalTiger MU - 3/5 12:54:50
          He should play at SWIC next year. (nm) - Uncle John MU - 3/5 12:54:46
