4-star Jaylin Williams names Top 7
The 6-10, 230-pound big man announced his favorites via Twitter on Wednesday, naming Arkansas, Oklahoma State, UCONN, Auburn, Texas A&M, Illinois and Iowa State.
Arkansas head coach Eric Musselman and his staff hosted Williams on an unofficial visit on July 26. Williams also made a trip to Oklahoma State in early June. One of the Hogs' best current players, shooting guard Isaiah Joe, was a three-star recruit coming out of Northside High in the Class of 2018.
Williams is one of four Arkansas natives that have been offered by the Razorbacks for the Class of 2020. The others include four-star guard KK Robinson of Bryant, four-star power forward Chris Moore of West Memphis, and four-star shooting guard Moses Moody, a Little Rock native who attends Montverde Academy in Florida. Williams, Robinson and Moody have already taken unofficial trips to visit with Musselman's staff this summer, and Moore will take an official visit in Fayetteville on September 20-22.
Arkansas associate head coach Chris Crutchfield recently joined the Hawg Hustle radio show to discuss the importance of next year's in-state recruiting class.
"It's a huge priority to keep instate guys here at Arkansas, so we've made a huge effort in letting those kids know that we're here, we're going to recruit them, we definitely want them," Crutchfield said. "We try to get them on campus as much as we can in a short period of time, but I really think Arkansas is a state that is very, very talented. Every year, I know there are 3-4 kids that I know are good enough to play for the Razorbacks. We want to be the number-one option for those kids. I think it's also important that we put a fence around the state, and not let other people get into the state and recruit our kids. So that's definitely a priority for us, to recruit instate kids, and this 2020 class definitely has a bunch that we like and we're trying to get.
These will be big "gets" and much needed. Wonder when they will announce?
