Arkansas basketball signs 5-star prospects Meleek Thomas and Darius Acuff

Two 5-star players signed with the Arkansas men's basketball team Wednesday.

The signings of point guard Darius Acuff and shooting guard Meleek Thomas, both in the class of 2025, were officially announced by the Razorbacks.

Acuff, 6-2 and 180 pounds, of IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., officially visited Arkansas and Kansas, and visited Michigan last fall prior to Juwan Howard being dismissed as the Wolverines’ coach.

He committed to Arkansas on July 26, three months after John Calipari was hired as the Razorbacks' head coach.

A Detroit native, Acuff averaged 23.9 points, 4 rebounds and 3.
