Entering Year 3 in Fayetteville, Eric Musselman keeps pushing on the recruiting front like he’s still got something to prove.
In theory, he could stand to let off the gas pedal a bit. He has proven to all the doubters that he’s a top-notch college basketball coach by turning around two programs in major ways.
He’s already off to the most successful start in Arkansas basketball history and just last month signed a new $5 million contract making him one of the nation’s highest paid coaches.
But Musselman and his staff are still going as hard as ever on the recruiting front, trying to put together a roster in the next few years that will be capable of going further than the Elite Eight Arkansas recently made.
