John Calipari may be in new threads, but he continues to do what he does best: recruit high school talent.
The Arkansas Razorbacks landed a commitment from Casper Chavis on Wednesday, the fourth incoming freshman for coach Cal alongside former Kentucky commits Boogie Fland, Karter Knox, and Billy Richmond.
Chavis is a three-star point guard who is ranked No. 177 in the class according to 247Sports’ composite rankings. The 6’3 guard is from Minneapolis and initially committed to the Washington Huskies back in November over Georgia, Arizona State, and West Virginia.
However, Chavis was released from his NLI after coach Mike Hopkins was fired, and now he joins a new look Hogs roster in Fayetteville that has just one returner in veteran forward Trevon Brazile.
“I decided to choose Arkansas because the development I can get from the coaching staff is one of the best in the country and how good the community is towards the team. Plus the relationship we built made it better just getting to know each other. Coach Calipari has been able to get previous players in my position to the NBA so that’s why I ended up choosing Arkansas.”
Chavis will be behind sophomore DJ Wagner, who followed Calipari from Kentucky, as well as Florida Atlantic transfer Johnell Davis and Fland, the No. 18 ranked prospect in the class.
