Has signed for next year. I know he was supposed to have a top recruiting class but haven’t heard any more,
Forgive me but MN?
This is from what I wrote in Hawgs Illustrated after the signing period:
Arkansas women’s basketball coach Mike Neighbors also signed a 5-star recruit in the early period, guard Taliah Scott of St. Johns Country Day School in Orange Park, Fla.
Neighbors recently recalled when Scott committed in September 2021 at the end of a recruiting visit to Fayetteville that coincided with the football team’s 40-21 victory over Texas.
“I was preparing to deliver the final speech to leave with her on the trip home when she most politely interrupted me and said, ‘Coach, I want to be a Razorback,’” Neighbors told WholeHogSports.com. “I thought I had misheard her. The room went silent as everyone seemed to be thinking the same.
“The shock and surprise on everyone’s face quickly turned into a celebration when she said, ‘Like, right now, I’m committing.’”
ESPN HoopGurlz ranks Scott the No. 11 prospect in this year’s senior class. She is on the preseason watch list for the Naismith after averaging 31.5 points, 6.2 rebounds, 4 assists and 3.4 steals last season.
The Razorbacks also signed 6-3 forward Jenna Lawrence from Farmington. Lawrence is ranked 61st in the national HoopGurlz recruiting rankings.
Lawrence averaged 18 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.3 steals and 1.7 blocks as a junior at Farmington. Her high school team has a 101-5 record during her first three seasons.
Maryn Archer, a 5-7 guard from Derby, Kan., is not ranked in the HoopGurlz recruiting rankings, but is a top-100 recruit by other publications, including No. 29 by Prep Girls. Archer averaged 10 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 2.8 steals as a junior.

Thanks Matt I guess Richard needs to brush up on coach abbreviations!
I get it now. I’ll just be honest, the portal fried my brain. Usually there’s a somewhat of a break from mid-December to mid- January. Not the case this year.
