Jaden Smith, Kenwood​

The light is flickering a little brighter these days for a highly-regarded prospect where the development has come at a slower pace. But he’s stringing together better performances, and the latest offer from Georgia Tech following his July performance shows the progress the 6-11 Smith has made. Smith is now back to flirting with top 10 status in state player rankings.

So he recently visited Fordham. Anyone know if he has visited ISU?

Jaden Smith, Kenwood

The enticing big man has a wide range of schools involved with more potentially coming this fall, including several high-major programs that remain in contact. Xavier, Utah and LSU have all poked around.

But Smith has a busy schedule ahead with several official visits, beginning this weekend with a trip to Loyola. The Ramblers recently offered Smith and look to land their second big man out of the city in as many years with Simeon’s Miles Rubin now a freshman for coach Drew Valentine.


Smith then will visit Akron, Georgia Tech and Arizona State in the coming weeks.

Didn't AZ State just add a Nick Irvin to the staff? Makes sense. Greg Lansing is on staff too.

This was the kid I was hoping to land.

I don't think we are going to be signing any more class of 2024s with Smith and Riddle now off the board. Unless we decide to take one later in the spring.

Think they were waiting on Riddle just in case, but now have moved on to other options.
