The Arkansas Razorbacks are slowly forming one of the top college basketball programs led by head coach John Calipari.

Arkansas is fresh off its first season under Calipari, having reached the Sweet 16.

The Razorbacks defeated Kansas and St. John's in the NCAA Tournament, both of which were ranked above the SEC program.

As Calipari and the Razorbacks look to improve on their head coach's first season, much of the attention turns to the incoming recruiting class.

On Monday, Arkansas highlighted a significant feat made by one of its blue-chip commits, Darius Acuff.

Acuff recently participated in the 2025 Iverson Classic, a showcase with some of the best talent in high school basketball. The incoming Arkansas freshman won the Iverson Classic MVP for his performance.

Acuff capped off the event with 32 points and 11 assists.

"Your Iverson Classic MVP: Arkansas Razorback @DariusAcuff," posted the official social media account of the Arkansas Razorbacks.
