Forget about Migos and Black Portland, the hottest mixtape of 2014 belongs to Arkansas native Malik Monk. The 6'3 guard in the class of 2016 has been tearing up the grassroots circuit all year, first scoring 59 points in an EYBL game earlier this spring and then capping his run in the Nike league by dropping 40 points in a two-point victory over Team Penny (Tenn.) at Peach Jam this past weekend.
Monk may be a bit overshadowed by the incredible talent at the top of the class of 2016, but he's the most exciting player in the country even if he isn't the best long-term NBA prospect. With nuclear athleticism and the ability to rise and fire from past the professional three-point line, Monk has a game perfect for the up-and-down style of AAU ball.

9. Malik Monk is the most entertaining player in high school basketball: I'm not sure this one is all that close. When Monk is on, he's nearly unguardable – and he has the confidence and athleticism to make highlight-reel play after highlight-reel play. He scored 59 points in one game back in April, knocking down 10 3-pointers and making 19 free throws in the process. At the Peach Jam, Monk went for 40 points on just 20 shots. It's not just his scoring that makes him fun, though – Allonzo Trier and Antonio Blakeney are big-time bucket-getters too – it's the manner in which he does it. Monk has deep range on his 3-point shot, often taking jumpers three or four feet beyond the 3-point line. He's also absurdly athletic and is one of the best dunkers in the country. Very few defenders can stay in front of him when his shot is falling. If he didn't mix in 3-of-20 performances with his big-time outings, he would certainly be a candidate for No. 1 in the class.

Many think that Malik will end up a Razorback, primarily because of his family's ties to the program. Marcus said it'll all be up to little brother.
"He has to make a decision that's best for him," he said. "The decision is his. Wherever he goes and wherever he feels comfortable, I'm going to be behind him 100 percent."
Lets hope!
We have to get some momentum, he's a PERFECT fit in Mike's style of play and he knows it, but we have to get going as a program, we have got to meet expectations this year and make the Dance and hopefully even win a game or two in it but just making it would be a big step in the right direction.

I may slit my wrists if we lose Kevaughn, KJ, and Malik.
The first thing any coach on the hill needs to point to is that we won national titles and had extremely high ranked teams when the elite players from Arkansas stay home.

100% in agreement. We need to get to the level where the right "bidness decision" for elite in state kids is to be a Hog. Not follow 5 of the top 10 recruits in each class to play for Calipari.
