It’s that time of the year again. The Arkansas basketball coaching staff is on the road recruiting for the class of 2025 and beyond, while the country’s top prospects are facing off on the Adidas and Nike Circuits.
With so many players and games over the next couple of weeks, Razorback fans have ample opportunity to watch some potential future Hoop Hogs.

Peach Jam — the premier shoe circuit championship event — is right around the corner, which means high level basketball for days on end.
Recent Razorbacks that have competed in this event include the likes of Layden Blocker, Jordan Walsh and Nick Smith Jr.

Acuff released a Top 4 schools list June 28 with Arkansas, Kansas, UConn and Michigan included.
He took in an official visit with coach Dan Hurley and the Huskies the weekend of June 30.

However, he rekindled a relationship established during Calipari’s days at Kentucky.
