Arkansas could’ve been in line for one of their best seasons in recent program history if all of the eligible players returned for another go-around. Instead, the Razorbacks will be relying on a freshman to play a major role, one Moses Moody should be ready to handle.

With Isaiah Joe and Mason Jones no longer around, a college basketball institution turns their weary eyes towards Moody. He’s the No. 45 prospect in the Class of 2020 and the most highly-touted recruit to step foot on campus since Daniel Gafford in 2017, according to 247 Sports.

The Little Rock native can become a rare one-and-done at Arkansas. He has great size and a shooter’s touch, with the ability to rebound well and the potential to defend well too. He has the talent to make the All-SEC Freshman Team and could push for a spot on the All-SEC Second Team – he wouldn’t be on this list if he couldn’t.

Of course, having the expectations of a fanbase craving success is never easy for a teenager. How he handles that burden will determine the success of the Razorbacks this year. The thinking here? Moody will be a name known across the nation by season’s end.
