Sure, let’s dive in. Picture this: Class of 2026, yeah? And we’re talking about Jordan Smith. This dude’s like a comet streaking across the AAU basketball season, and everyone’s catching the vibes. He’s from Fairfax, Virginia—why does that sound like a place with endless fairs and popcorn stalls to me? Anyway, Jordan is 6’2" and weighs in at 200 pounds, running with Paul VI and Team Takeover on the Nike EYBL circuit. Did I mention? He’s rated sixth overall and tops the chart for shooting guards in his class. No pressure, right?
So, here’s the thing. Schools are hovering like bees around a honey pot—Arkansas, Georgetown, Kentucky, Louisville, Syracuse… maybe others too, but those are the headlines. Kentucky even did an in-home visit. Imagine that: coaches in your living room, probably eyeing your snack choices and decor. Awkward? Maybe. But it seems things are just kicking off, so Jordan’s keeping his options open. Smart move, if you ask me.
“I’m still working out the details,” Jordan tells 247Sports. “No locked plans yet, but I’ll start pinging coaches about official visits.” He name-drops Arkansas, Kentucky (again!), Louisville, Georgetown, Duke, Syracuse. Big names, but isn’t it funny how these schools seem like characters in some high-stakes fantasy league?
Ah, and then there’s the whole talk about how these schools—and I mean, these schools—are showing up consistently in the recruitment marathon. Smith’s navigating it all like a pro, speaking to 247Sports and probably juggling which jersey might suit him best or maybe he’s more into football in the off-seasons. Life decisions, huh?
Anyway—nope, wait—yeah, that’s it for now. Guess we’ll find out soon where he decides to shoot those hoops next!
