Darius Acuff, the No. 2 point guard recruit in the 2025 class and No. 10 overall in the ESPN 100, has committed to Arkansas.
John Calipari joins Pat McAfee and weighs in on the changing landscape of college sports ahead of his first season with Arkansas. Acuff chose the Razorbacks over Kansas, with Michigan also on his final list of three. The Jayhawks were perceived to be the favorite back in the spring, with Acuff taking a visit to Lawrence in late April. But Calipari made him a priority over the past several weeks and ultimately won out.
"When he first offered me last year, our first conversation stuck in my mind. 'I knew of you, but I had never seen you play. Then I watched you and said I got to have you.'" Acuff can score as well as anyone in the class. He gets into the paint with ease, given his speed, a tight and controlled handle, along with wiggle in his game to keep defenders off balance. He's hard to guard as he can go in either direction off the bounce or pull up and knock down a jumper. An underrated distributor, Acuff has vision and timing on his passes. The next step for him is to balance out his game in terms of scoring and facilitating while being more of a ball mover.
