Ex-UVa signee Bria Smith open for business with Tennessee

Whoever is going to coach Virginia had better get on the job quickly if they plan on re-recruiting high school All-American Bria Smith. InsideTennessee.com reports that Smith will visit Tennessee later this month and will make a decision “relatively soon.” Smith, who starred at Christ the King High in New York and is ranked No. 8 among high school seniors by ESPN, signed a letter-of-intent with Virginia last November but was granted a release when Debbie Ryan stepped down. Louisville, a finalist during Smith’s initial recruitment, also appears to be strongly in the mix again, at least according to one of Smith’s McDonald’s All-American teammates. Said Louisville-bound senior Sara Hammond: “I’ve been working on her. I was telling her she needs to come. She hasn’t talked much about it, but she smiles every time I mention Louisville.”
