Kentucky became the latest team to offer Jordan Smith Jr. in September
Jordan Smith Jr., a five-star shooting guard from Virginia, received an offer from Mark Pope and Kentucky in September, making him the program's eighth offer. Smith also holds offers from Duke, Georgetown, Louisville, Kansas State and Ohio State among others.
He opened up about what he is looking for in a school, and the Wildcats hope to tick all the boxes for him to commit to Kentucky.
"The culture of the school will be big for me," the 6-foot-3 shooting guard said, as per On3. "I’ll look at how the coaches treat their players on and off the court. And I’ll look closely at the player development. Play style too will be big for me. I’m comfortable playing in a fast up-and-down system that stays active."
According to 247Sports, Kentucky has yet to land a commitment from the Class of 2026. However, the Wildcats have extended ten offers and hope to sign as many talented players as possible to keep competing in the future.
