5-star SG Jordan Smith Jr. attending Duke game on Tuesday night

Five-star shooting guard Jordan Smith Jr. will be in attendance for Duke’s game against Florida tonight, a source told Rivals. The matchup will be played at Cameron Indoor.

Smith, one of the Blue Devils top targets, has visited the school multiple times.

The 6-foot-2 senior out of Paul VI Catholic (VA) included Duke in his top six schools in August. He also listed Arkansas, Indiana, Kentucky, Georgetown, and Indiana as his other finalists.

Smith is ranked as the No. 7 overall player in the class, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking. He’s also the No. 2 shooting guard and the No. 1 player in Virginia.

Smith has completed official visits to Kentucky, Arkansas and Duke. He recently unofficially visited Syracuse.

Smith talks programs in the hunt

In a previous interview with Rivals, Smith discussed the programs recruiting him. 

Duke: “They want me to come in here, help them win a national championship, help them reach my goals in any way possible.  They want to build my character as a young man, develop me to how I want to be. I love Jon Scheyer, he’s a great recruiter. I have two teammates that speak very highly of him, so I’m just excited to see what they do this year, how he plays them.”

Arkansas: “(Calipari) preaches to me if I want to go there, or if I want to reach my goal, go there. Like he said, he’s going to help me by any means necessary to reach my goal and go to the NBA. He claims he’s a guard coach, which I believe, and I’ve seen in the past. I just believe everything he’s saying.”

Indiana: “Kenny (Johnson) always been there from the start. He helped me get into PVI, helped me with Takeover. He’s always been a helping hand, I really appreciate him. He’s always been there.”

Syracuse: “Takeover pipeline. They play the same way as we do out here and at PVI. So I feel like I can fit their system very well.”

What he’s looking for in a school

In that same previous interview with Rivals, Jordan Smith Jr. discussed what he is looking for in his future college.

“Player development, environment, because I got to be able to live there for six months to four years. And just how the coaches are, they’re nice people, they treat their players the right way. They’re just good people.”
