In a stunning move that’s sent shockwaves through the college basketball world, Jordan Smith, the nation’s top-ranked shooting guard in the class of 2026, has committed to the University of North Carolina! The 6’3″, 195-pound phenom from Paul VI Catholic High School in Fairfax, Virginia, chose the Tar Heels over powerhouses like Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, and Virginia, signaling a bright new era for UNC basketball.
Smith’s commitment is a major coup for the Tar Heels, who are looking to rebound from a disappointing season. His elite shooting, ball-handling, and scoring abilities make him a perfect fit for Coach Hubert Davis’s system. With Smith on board, UNC’s recruiting class is now considered one of the best in the country!
This commitment is not only a testament to Smith’s incredible talent but also a sign of the Tar Heels’ commitment to building a winning program. Coach Davis and his staff have been working tirelessly to attract top talent, and Smith’s decision is a huge validation of their efforts.
“This is a dream come true, “Smith said in a statement. “I’m excited to join the Tar Heels and compete at the highest level. Coach Davis and the staff have been incredible, and I’m looking forward to contributing to the program’s success.”
Smith’s impressive resume includes being named the Gatorade National Player of the Year and being selected to the USA Basketball Junior National Team. He’s a versatile player who can score from anywhere on the court, and his leadership and work ethic will be invaluable to the Tar Heels. The Tar Heels’ fanbase is going wild, and for good reason! With Smith leading the charge, UNC is poised to make a deep run in the ACC and potentially even the NCAA tournament.
The reaction from the college basketball world has been overwhelming, with many praising Smith’s skills and the Tar Heels’ recruiting efforts.
