Probably could’ve beat their offer, but Cal drew a line.
Posted on 1/16/25 at 5:34 pm to hawgfaninc
Yeah I don't think he was worth $1M+.

Two signees in Arkansas basketball’s 2025 recruiting class were named to the prestigious McDonald’s All-American Game rosters Monday.
Shooting guard Meleek Thomas and point guard Darius Acuff Jr. found their names among the nation’s best players in the class. They’re ranked No. 7 and No. 13 in the nation, respectively, according to Rivals.
The McDonald’s All-American Game will be played on April 1 at the Barclay’s Center in Brooklyn, New York. The two future Razorbacks will be pitted against each other, as Acuff was selected to the East team and Thomas was selected to the West team.
Along with the two signees, one priority target — five-star forward Nate Ament — was also named a McDonald’s All-American. He’ll play alongside Acuff with the East team.
Thomas plays for the City Reaperz in the Overtime Elite system and has put on a show this season. He’s averaging 26.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game, and has scored over 30 points six times.
The 6-foot-4, 171-pound scorer was the second and most recent commitment to the Razorbacks, and he went public with his decision on Nov. 11. He chose Arkansas over a Top 5 that included Pittsburgh, UConn, Alabama and Kansas State.
Acuff plays for IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, and leads the team in scoring at 21.6 points per game on 42% shooting. He also leads the team in assists at 5.33 per game.
A native of Michigan, Acuff was the first domino to fall in Arkansas' 2025 class. He chose the Hogs on July 26 over offers from Kansas, Michigan, UConn, Alabama and many others.
Arkansas' 2025 class also includes four-star Springdale native Isaiah Sealy, and as mentioned above, head coach John Calipari is still pursuing five-star forward Nate Ament as well as several other targets.

quote:
Darius Acuff, PG, IMG Academy (Fla.)
247Sports ranking: No. 5
Committed to: Arkansas
Analysis: Good luck if you want to try and keep Acuff from getting to his spots on the floor. He is a total pit bull off the dribble who combines speed, power and skill to maneuver around the floor. He is at his best attacking the rim and making plays for others in the paint but has turned into a guy who has to be respected as a jump shooter.
quote:
Nate Ament, PF, Highland School (Va.)
247Sports ranking: No. 5
Committed to: Undecided
Analysis: The top-ranked player in the game who has yet to make a commitment, Ament is a fluid four man with face up game. He can shoot from deep, quite capable off the dribble and is a high-volume rebounder despite his still relatively slight frame. He's been to Louisville, Notre Dame, Tennessee and Texas for official visits and will see Duke and Kansas State soon.
WEST
quote:
Meleek Thomas, SG, Overtime Elite (Ga.)
247Sports ranking: No. 12
Committed to: Arkansas
Analysis: One of the most gifted scorers in the class, Thomas is as potent as they come when the ball is in his hands. He splits double teams, finds creases in just about any defense and is unrelenting when it comes to driving the ball. He shoots the ball just well enough from deep that you can't risk him getting hot from behind the three-point line. He's also a sneaky athlete who can catch defenders slipping at the rim.

Acuff into the top 5 on 247 update last week.
quote:
Finally, Darius Acuff deserves to be in any conversation about the best players in high school basketball. Those who have been paying attention over the course of the last two months know that no player in high school basketball has been more consistently dominant this season than he has. Acuff takes games over like we wish Dybantsa would and has put IMG on his back and carried them to tough wins on more than one occasion.
