Another big visit for the UK staff.
Mark Pope and the Kentucky Wildcats staff have been traveling the country while getting in visits with their top targets in the class of 2026. We can add another name to the list that will host the UK staff.
According to Dushawn London of 247 Sports, Kentucky will be in to visit 5-star guard Jordan Smith at his school on Wednesday.
Smith, a 6-foot-2, 200-pound shooting guard from Fairfax (VA), has offers from the top programs in the sport, including Duke, North Carolina, Louisville, Arkansas, and many others. He officially visited the Blue Devils and Cardinals this past fall.
After earning an offer from Coach Pope and Kentucky back in September, this will be the second visit Pope has had with the talented guard since September. Could things be heating up for the Cats? Potentially.
Smith is currently considered a 5-star prospect in the 2026 class and is ranked in the top five by the 247 Sports composite rankings.
This staff already has their big board filled with the best of the best in the 2026 class. Let’s see if this visit makes Smith become one of the top targets for the Cats.
