Looks like it. Thanks to herve at GWHoops.com for finding this one, in a random Minnesota article about their Canadian recruit, Devoe Joseph.
Apparently there's a rule that only one core class taken after your first four years in high school can count towards your college eligibilty - and Smith took two in his fifth year. However, apparently it's normal in Canada for some people to take 5 years to graduate, so it penalizes Canadian players. That really stinks.
I'll keep looking into this.
