The official familiar with the decision told The Associated Press that Smart has not yet signed a contract, but an announcement is planned for Thursday. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the announcement has yet to be made.
The 32-year-old Smart was an assistant to Billy Donovan at Florida last season and will become the second consecutive Donovan assistant to take over as the Rams' head coach.
Anthony Grant, Donovan's right-hand man for 10 years at Florida, spent the last three seasons as VCU's head coach, compiling a 76-25 record and leading the Rams to two NCAA tournament appearances as champions of the Colonial Athletic Association tournament.
Grant, 42, was hired last week to rebuild Alabama's basketball program.
