?about MSU …?

what does Smith think …?
?
Smith has made one visit so far and plans to take an official visit for a home game some time this season but so far he likes what he has seen and heard.?
?They?re trying to get better and they?re trying to make things greater and they?re also expanding a lot,? Smith told Paul Schwedelson of the Bozeman Daily Chronicle. ?So what once was known as small Montana State University won?t be like that for much longer, and I just want to get on that train while it?s moving.?
?
There is a whole football season ahead of Smith before he signs on any dotted line. Wide receiver don?t often get to strut their stuff in the Wildcat run-oriented offense but look for some good looks for Smith this year. He is too good of an athlete for the Wildcats not to find a way to exploit his talents this season.
?
Last year Smith led all receivers with 19 receptions for 466 yards at 24.5 yards per and 6 touchdowns.
