Hogs Set to Battle Unlikely In-State Competitor for 5-Star Arkansas Native Nick Smith Jr.

After landing both Joseph Pinion (6-6 G/F) and Derrian Ford (6-4 G), and then missing out on Kel’el Ware (6-11 F/C) to Oregon, Arkansas basketball coach Eric Musselman and company have their sights set on the last remaining “big four” member of the 2022 in-state class: North Little Rock guard Nick Smith.

ESPN’s No. 16 player in the class of 2022 has stated that he’ll announce his commitment on November 20th, 2021, and the Razorbacks will face their usual assortment of blue bloods and up and comers (Alabama, Georgetown, Baylor, Florida, Kansas, North Carolina and Kentucky) to land him.
