Bo out here telling people that UF is offering him 6-7 million

Boogie may have been a 5* McDonald's out of high school, but from what we saw of him this past season, he's not a 6-7 million player. But then again, I don't think anybody is.

Truth. He's not a generational talent that can single handedly propel your team to a National Championship. He a very good player with tons of potential. If they want to pay that and destroy team chemistry and have him miss half the season or more with an injury, have at it.

JJ Andrews has decided to remain in his home state of Arkansas and commit to John Calipari and the Razorbacks, he told On3.
The 6-foot-6 shooting guard out of Little Rock Christian Academy (AR) is the No. 1 ranked player in the state. The junior has already put together an impressive high school résumé that includes Arkansas Gatorade Player of the Year, two-time state champion, 16U Peach Jam champion, and MaxPreps All-American.
Andrews on why he chose Arkansas
JJ Andrews discussed his decision to choose the Razorbacks with On3.
“I feel like Arkansas is ultimately a great fit for me,” he said. “They operate like professionals every day and I feel like I will be competing against the best of the best everyday in practice. I feel like we have a great chance to win a national championship.”
Andrews, a four-star prospect in the 2026 class, chooses Arkansas over LSU and Missouri, but also received offers from programs like Oklahoma, Marquette, and more.
Shawn Andrews, the father of JJ, was an All-American offensive lineman for Arkansas in the early 2000s. He went on to have a successful career in the NFL that included two-time Pro Bowl selections (2006, 2007). He is also in the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame.
He is the No. 32 overall recruit in the 2026 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Rankings. He’s also the No. 7 shooting guard prospect and the No. 1 player in Arkansas. The On3 Industry Ranking is a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
Andrews was a top performer at USA Basketball
Earlier this spring at USA Basketball, On3’s Jamie Shaw found JJ Andrews to be a standout:
“JJ Andrews has a physical presence and knows how to use that for production. While he might not be the most explosive athlete or the best shooter in the gym, he is comfortable on the ball, and he has a nose for an extra possession. He is one of the ones where you look at his stat line at the end of the game and get a full understanding of how much he affects play.”
According to Synergy, Andrews was the most efficient scorer in Session One of the EYBL Circuit, averaging 19.7 points per game on nearly 72% from the field.

Arkansas and head coach John Calipari earned its first commitment for the 2026 class on Thursday. In-state four-star guard JJ Andrews announced his commitment to the Razorbacks in the Little Rock Christian Academy gymnasium, choosing Arkansas over LSU and Missouri.
The son of former Arkansas football great Shawn Andrews, the 6-foot-6 guard has earned major praise in recent weeks for his performance in the Phoenix EYBL Session.
In addition to his performance on the Circuit, Andrews was also named the Gatorade Player of the Year in the state of Arkansas for the 2024-2025 season at Little Rock Christian Academy. He posted 28.5 points, 10.1 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.0 blocks per game in his junior campaign.
Andrews is the second in-state prospect Calipari has landed at Arkansas, following Springdale product Isaiah Sealy in the 2025 class. It also gives the Razorbacks consecutive classes with an in-state player after having zero in the 2024 class. Over the past 15 years, Arkansas has only had four classes where it didn't land a player from an in-state high school or who was originally from the state: 2024, 2021, 2015, and 2012.
The Arkansas coaching staff is just getting started with filling the 2026 class, with many more names eyeing visits or potentially reclassifying to the 2025 class.

JJ Andrews, the No. 42 overall recruit in the 2026 class, has announced his commitment to Arkansas.
The 6-foot-6, 220-pound small forward out of Little Rock (Ark.) Christian Academy committed to the Razorbacks over Missouri and LSU.
Andrews is a big recruiting win for John Calipari and the Arkansas staff holding off a strong fight from Missouri and LSU.
The Razorbacks were the hometown team for Andrews but had to make up significant ground in recent weeks to come from behind and ultimately win this recruitment.
For Arkansas, it's of significant importance to the program and to fans to keep the talent in-state and they accomplished a big win in Andrews, whose father, Shawn, played football for the Razorbacks before playing in the NFL.
Andrews is a strong, physical, and athletic wing who plays with a high motor. He excels as a slasher, finisher, and defender.
He's off to a hot start this AAU season playing with Brad Beal Elite, making for one of the most productive players on the EYBL Circuit.
Through his first three games, Andrews is averaging 19.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.3 steals per game.
