Kenyatta Smith commits to Harvard

While you're all consumed with this thriller of a football game, some recruiting news:

Big-time big-man recruit Kenyatta Smith, ranked the 13th best center in the nation by scout.com verbally committed to coach Tommy Amaker and the Crimson today while visiting the campus, according to The Crimson.

Smith, who reportedly wants to be pre-med, was choosing between Harvard, Penn and Vanderbilt. He gushed about his connection to Harvard and Boston while leaving West Philadelphia with less than kind words:

I’ve been to Penn before. I saw the campus and everything, and I just didn’t feel the connection.

With Penn graduating a substantial amount of talent in the 4 and 5 slots, they'll need to bring in some size with the next recruiting class, and Smith, at 6-foot-8, 270 pounds, would have been that.

Key words: would have. Enjoy beantown, Kenyatta!
