Arkansas and fourth-year head coach Eric Musselman have landed ESPN 5-star big man Baye Fall.
Fall, 6-11, 217 pounds, of Denver Accelerated Schools, picked the Razorbacks over other finalists Auburn, Rutgers and Seton Hall during a 5:30 p.m. ceremony.
He made an unofficial visit to Arkansas for the Razorbacks’ 75-73 victory over Kentucky on Feb. 26, and officially visited Fayetteville for the Alabama football game weekend of Sept. 30-Oct. 2.
Fall praised his relationship with Musselman and his coaching staff after his last trip to Fayetteville.
“Really good. We’re pretty close,” Fall said. “A lot of them have seen me practice or play or at camps, and I’m familiar with them, so it’s just a good vibe.
