The St. Mark’s basketball roster has caught the attention of Arkansas head basketball coach Eric Musselman multiple times this year. Already extending an offer to standout Lions forward Harrison Ingram, a 2021 national Top 15 prospect, Musselman just extended another offer to 2022 forward Colin Smith.
Smith, a nationally ranked 4-star prospect, told Hogville.net that Musselman offered a spot with the Razorbacks during his first Zoom call with the coaching staff last week.
“Thought it was a great first Zoom call and scheduled during my available time and coordinated with my parents,” Smith said. “Coach Musselman’s and his staffs deep background and knowledge makes for a really intriguing level of interest. I’m really looking forward to building a deep relationship with them.”
Smith said the Arkansas coaches are clear about why they want him in Fayetteville. “They really like my versatility and that I also defend at a high level. With all the things I do well it increases my chances to be on the floor and to keep working on my game.”
Smith has offers from an impressive list of schools: Arkansas, Kansas, Michigan, Vanderbilt, Texas Tech, Baylor, Oklahoma State, Texas, Texas A&M, Mississippi State, UCLA, Stanford, Minnesota, Georgetown and SMU.
