Top Alabama, LSU WR target delays commitment announcement
Two SEC West rivals will have to wait to find out if either lands the talents of four-star WR Devonta Smith.
The Amite (La.) standout has delayed his previous commitment announcement due to flooding in the state of Louisiana.
With the flooding in the area, 5-star WR Devonta Smith will not commit tomorrow, his coach tells me. New date is TBD. #Bama #LSU #TheU

Of the 29 recruiting experts who have submitted predictions to 247Sports’ Crystal Ball, 100 percent have Smith signing with Alabama. The 6-foot-1, 160-pound pass-catcher is rated the No. 10 Louisiana prospect and No. 2 wide receiver in the 2017 class according to the site’s composite rankings.
