2024 Center Jaden Smith locks in official visit date with Georgia Tech Basketball

Smith is a three-star center in the 2024 class

Georgia Tech Basketball Recruiting could be heating up in the next month. 

The Yellow Jackets picked up their first commitment in the 2024 class today after point guard Nait George committed to Damon Stoudamire and his program. More news followed today when three-star center Jaden Smith, who plays at Kenwood Academy in Chicago, will take an official visit to Georgia Tech on September 30th. 

Smith is a three-star prospect and the No. 146 overall player in the 247Sports Composite. He is a super athletic prospect for 6'11 200 LBS and would be a nice addition to the front court for Georgia Tech if they can land him. 

He will also take an official visit to Arizona State on Oct. 7th, a week after he is at Georgia Tech. 

Smith's other offers include Dayton, Eastern Michigan, Illinois State, Saint Louis, and TCU, among others.

More talent could be on the way to Georgia Tech in this class soon. Four-star center Peyton Marshall is committing this Friday and while he is picking up some predictions to land at Missouri, nothing is ever over in recruiting.

Stoudamire and the Yellow Jackets could be trending to land one of the top guards in the 2024 class, Jaeden Mustaf.

Over the weekend, On3 national basketball recruiting analyst Jamie Shaw put in a prediction for Georgia Tech to land four-star guard Jaeden Mustaf. He put the prediction in with a confidence of 60 and it seems like the Yellow Jackets might be the team to beat in this recruitment.

Now it should be noted that this is just one prediction and it could be wrong. The Yellow Jackets received a prediction to land four-star center John Bol, but he would commit to Ole Miss instead. However, Georgia Tech did land in Mustafs top six schools this past week and seems to have momentum right now.

Mustaf does not have any 247Sports Crystal Ball Predictions as of yet.

His finalists include Georgia Tech, Maryland, NC State, Arkansas, Florida State, and Indiana. He is set to decide between those schools on September 14th.
