Razorback fans finally got some good offseason news with the transfer commitments of Nick Pringle and Malique Ewin a few days ago, but Arkansas basketball coach John Calipari won’t be finished in the frontcourt.
The Hogs still need another combo forward alongside Trevon Brazile, assuming he returns, and a long-rumored white whale for that position has been five-star high school prospect Nate Ament.
A consensus top-five prospect in the Class of 2025, the Warrenton, Va., native has all the accolades of a blue-chip recruit – McDonald’s All-American, Nike Hoop Summit, Team USA, the whole lot. Ament is considered a top prospect for the 2026 NBA Draft, as scouts rave about his ball-handling, playmaking and shooting ability.
