Arkansas women’s basketball coach Mike Neighbors announced Wednesday the signing of ESPN 5-star guard Taliah Scott to the 2023 recruiting class.
Scott, 5-9, of Orange Park (Fla.) St. Johns Country Day School, chose Arkansas over more than 30 scholarship offers after visiting Fayetteville for the football game against Texas on Sept. 11, 2021.
She chose the Razorbacks over Florida, Florida State, Texas, Louisville, Michigan, Ohio State, Tennessee, Alabama and numerous other programs.
Neighbors recalled Scott telling him she was going to be a Razorback prior to leaving last year's unofficial visit.
"I was preparing to deliver the final speech to leave with her on the trip home when she most politely interrupted me and said, 'Coach, I want to be a Razorback,'" Neighbors said.
