Nov. 24, 2005
Winston-Salem, NC - WSSU head men's basketball coach Philip Stitt announced on Thursday that East Mecklenburg High School's Jason Smith has signed a national letter of intent to attend Winston-Salem State University and play basketball for the Rams. Smith, a 6'2", 180-pound point guard from Charlotte, NC's East Mecklenburg High School will immediately add size to the Rams' point guard spot, and bring with him talent that helped to lead East Mecklenburg to a 20-8 record and a Southwest Conference Championship in 2004-05. The Honorable Mention All-Southwest Conference selection (as a junior) averaged 10.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists, and 6.0 steals last season as he started all 28 games for the Eagles.

"One of things we loved about him was his ability to see the floor," Stitt said. "He just loves to distribute the ball and sees where his teammates are at all times. He is a quality young man who does very well in the classroom, and has a GPA above a 3.0. He was being recruited by several Division I schools and he becomes the first men's basketball player at WSSU who will play all four years at the Division I level for us."
