ESPN national recruiting director Paul Biancardi has recognized three Arkansas signees as the best of the 2022 class with ESPN 5-star Anthony Black being the most improved in the class.
Black, 6-7, 198 pounds, of Duncanville, Texas, was an outstanding two-sport athlete who appeared to be destined for a career on the football field.
Arkansas football offered him a fifth offer in April of his sophomore year at a time when he only had one offer in basketball from North Texas.
He slowly saw his stock rise on the hardwood once he focused on one sport and saw offers come from Arkansas, Texas, Auburn, Duke, Georgia, Memphis, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Tech Tech and several others.
