Ranking the 7 options for class of 2022 and top-10 prospect F Kijani Wright

Arkansas Razorbacks

The Razorbacks’ trek to the Elite 8 was rather precarious, as a bucket here or there could have thwarted their run in both the Round 32 and Sweet 16, but nonetheless proved that Eric Musselman’s vision is correct. Arkansas was a very balanced offensive squad and played efficient defense on their way to a 2nd-place SEC finish and a 25-7 record. The results have largely come as a result of Musselman’s superb recruiting prowess in both the transfer and traditional senses.

This offseason’s methods are no different, as the Razorbacks are adding impact transfers in Chris Lykes (Miami) and Au’Diese Toney (Pitt). Musselman certainly has frontcourt talent on his roster but has preferred to utilize experience to help bring his players along slowly and maintain their confidence once their names are called. Nonetheless adding a top-10 recruit for his frontcourt will be a piece Musselman cannot pass up.

Wright is planning to take a visit to campus later this year and he will surely see the kitchen sink from the Arkansas staff. Viewing the Razorbacks roster two years out, starters Jaylin Williams and Connor Vanover are still likely to be with the team. As only one true big played in Musselman’s system at a time, there will tough competition for Wright to come in and take the position immediately.

However, his talent is undeniable and there is plenty of time for his skill set to expand before stepping on campus. He will be in the thick of the action and has the potential to knock off both of these more experienced players for the starting role.
