Nick Smith Sr., the father of Arkansas ESPN 5-star commitment Nick Smith, is a believer in Razorbacks coach Eric Musselman after getting to know him during the recruiting process.

“I asked a lot of questions because I wanted to make sure we got in the right situation. Coach Musselman was authentic, he was real and I appreciated his honesty, and I honestly feel like he was the best coach for Nick in trying to get where we’re trying to get,” Smith Sr. said. “I felt like he was the best coach for that.”
