Despite playing catch-up in the recruitment of Fort Smith Northside center Jaylin Williams, Arkansas Coach Eric Musselman and his staff earned a spot on Williams' top seven list.
Williams, 6-10, 220 pounds, announced a list of Arkansas, Oklahoma State, Kansas State, Illinois, Auburn, Connecticut, Texas A&M and Iowa State on Wednesday.
Others schools had been recruiting Williams long before Musselman was announced as Arkansas’ new coach on April 7. Williams said Musselman and assistants Corey Williams and Clay Moser have worked hard in making up for lost time.
“If coach Williams isn't calling me every other day, coach Musselman is or coach Moser is,” Williams said.
