## Resource

NEW EPISODE ALERT This week on The Twins Take Podcast, we are excited to welcome one of the top basketball recruits in the entire country, UNC commit Malloy Smith. As the son of NBA legend Kenny Smith and a standout at powerhouse Mater Dei, Malloy has been in the spotlight his entire life. In this episode, he takes us behind the scenes of his basketball journey, what ultimately led him to commit to the University of North Carolina, and how he navigated the transition to a new head coach. We also dive into his faith, the pressure and privilege of carrying the Smith name, and what it was like committing to UNC on national television alongside his father, Charles Barkley, and Shaquille O’Neal. Malloy shares stories and insights that fans won’t hear anywhere else. This is one of our most authentic conversations yet, and if you’re a fan of college basketball, recruiting, UNC Basketball, or inspiring stories of faith and perseverance, this episode is for you.
