339. Hoops Newcomer Special: Jordan Smith Jr

A part of a series of exclusive interviews with men's basketball's newest arrivals, Matt Zimmerman sits down with National High School Player of the Year and top recruit Jordan Smith Jr. for an in-depth conversation about the journey that brought him to Arkansas. From giving up football in sixth grade and transforming himself through relentless work ethic, to leaning on the tough love of his family and becoming one of the most sought-after players in the country, Smith opens up about the mindset behind his rise. He talks defense, leadership, humility, "basketball karma," building chemistry with Arkansas' loaded freshman class, and why winning means more to him than individual accolades. Razorback fans will get an early glimpse at the maturity, competitiveness, and edge that make Jordan Smith Jr. one of the most exciting newcomers in college basketball. --- The full video version of this episode is available exclusively on HogsPlus.com Follow us on social media!
