On the eve of the early signing period, things are really starting to heat up on the recruiting trail for Arkansas basketball.
The Razorbacks landed their second five-star commitment in the 2025 class on Monday when shooting guard Meleek Thomas picked them over UConn and Pittsburgh.
As a duo, he and point guard Darius Acuff Jr. give Arkansas the 14th-best class in the country, according to the 247Sports Composite. That seems low for a John Calipari-coached team, but it’s the highest among schools with only two pledges and the Razorbacks are actively recruiting other big-time players to join the backcourt pair.
