It’s Nick Smith Jr.
Pardon the click-baity title, but if you read the accompanying excerpt of looked at the picture, you knew the answer to the question posed in the headline.
Smith, a 6-foot-5, 185-pound guard from North Little Rock was the No. 3 recruit in his Class of 2022. A couple of days after being named first-team All-SEC in the preseason by the league’s assembled media, Smith earned CBS Sports’ second-team All-American status.
Smith is one of six players in the class who chose to sign with Arkansas. All six were ranked inside the top 100. Three of them – Smith, guard Anthony Black and swingman Jordan Walsh – are projected first-round draft picks. Smith is a projected lottery pick.
They combine with five Arkansas pick-ups from the transfer portal and the Hogs’ two returning rotational players to form a bulk of the roster. That roster construction landed the Razorbacks as the No. 10 team in the country in the first Associated Press Poll of the year.
