NCAA Basketball Recruiting: Must-snag commitments in the 2020 class

Arkansas needs Moses Moody

SG | 6-foot-5 | 180 lbs | No. 42 overall

Arkansas might not be the early favorite to land Moses Moody but he would be a spectacular snag for the program. Considering he is a native of Little Rock, the Razorbacks might have a bit of a home-state advantage here that should not be overlooked. Head coach Eric Musselman is entering his first season with the program and landing a top-rated in-state recruit would be an incredible start to his tenure.

Coach Musselman already proved at Nevada that he is great at relationship-building and that is a skill that makes him an underrated recruiting threat. Arkansas is a program that should be on the rise with him at the helm and landing Moody might be the best possible start that the fanbase could ask for. With that said, though, Arkansas joined this recruiting battle a little bit late and might have some ground to make up.

Moody recently released his final seven schools and included Arkansas as well as USC, Michigan, Florida, Kansas, Oregon, and Ohio State. This will be a very tough battle to win but I am never going to count Coach Musselman out. Moody would be a phenomenal commitment for the Razorbacks’ future as a potential multi-year superstar in the SEC.

If he chooses to play at Arkansas, that could set the program up tremendously well for the future. He would be a star on the court but also someone that could seriously set up an in-state pipeline for the new coaching staff.
