The Hogs are in good spot to receive commitment from 2025 prospect
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Razorbacks coach John Calipari is positioning his program in a great spot to land one of the country's most electric prospects, Darius Acuff. The Detroit, Michigan native and current athlete at IMG Academy in Florida has been forecasted to Arkansas,Acuff is the No. 1 point guard prospect in the 2025 class, No. 7 player nationally and No. 2 amongst Sunshine State athletes. The 6-1, 175 pound guard is wired to score in bunches.
His most impressive performance during tournament play came in blowout style against Belize. In only 13 minutes of action. He scored 23 points and dished 5 assists during America’s 96-point victory. The 5-star senior holds 21 scholarships from schools around the country including Arkansas, Alabama, Kansas, UConn, Houston, LSU, Michigan, Kentucky, Missouri, Ohio State, Rutgers and others. He has recently visited the Razorbacks and Jayhawks this offseason. Currently, the two programs are perceived as leaders in his recruitment. Kentucky was in the mix early on until Calipari made his way to Fayetteville from Lexington.
With Acuff potentially committing to Arkansas it would likely send Darryn Peterson to Kansas. The Jayhawks can be considered favorites for Peterson but he is expected to visit Ohio State and North Carolina. Another prospect the Razorbacks are recruiting heavily is 5-star small forward Meleek Thomas who visited last week. Two-time defending national champions UConn will be hard to beat for Thomas but never say never for Calipari in recruiting.
