"Darius Acuff Jr. Commits to Arkansas as a 5-Star Recruit"

Darius Acuff Jr., who has been given a five-star rating, is considered the top point guard and fourth best prospect in the Class of 2025 according to 247Sports. He officially committed to play for John Calipari at Arkansas on Friday.

Calipari, who departed from Kentucky to join Arkansas in April, has successfully secured his first 2025 recruit for the Razorbacks after signing a five-year contract worth $7 million annually.

Acuff, who made his decision public on YouTube, ultimately chose Arkansas over Kansas and Michigan. The 6-3, 180-pound player from Detroit is also a composite five-star recruit, according to 247Sports.

In late June, Acuff had narrowed down his options to Arkansas, Kansas, Michigan, and UConn, but ultimately eliminated the two-time defending national champions before announcing his commitment on Friday.

\"My official visit was a positive experience. I have a strong relationship with John Calipari,\" Acuff shared with 247Sports. \"I visited both Kentucky and Arkansas and there were no major differences between the two schools. It was a fantastic visit. Coach Cal is a skilled coach for guards, and many of his players have gone on to play in the NBA.\"
