2026 five-star feels like a priority to Michigan State basketball

A star-studded field has formed for one of the top recruits in the 2026 recruiting class

Jordan Smith Jr. is one of the hottest recruits on the market in the 2026 recruiting class. A 6-foot-3, 175 pound shooting guard from Fairfax, Virginia, Smith is a five-star that ranks in the top eight of the 2026 recruiting class.

While Duke is the presumed favorite, and the school he will take his next visit to, there are still three other schools courting him hard for his talents. Kansas, Louisville and Michigan State are all pursuing the east coast talent.
