The first domino in the 2025 recruiting class will fall on Friday when five-star point guard Darius Acuff Jr. makes his college decision live on the 247Sports YouTube channel. The No. 4 ranked player in the class, per 247Sports, will decide between Arkansas, Kansas and Michigan at 5 p.m. ET. You can watch the announcement LIVE in the video on this page.
Acuff will be the first five-star prospect in the recruiting class to make his decision, and his college choice will have a ripple effect in the recruiting world. John Calipari, Bill Self and Dusty May — the head coaches of the three finalists — all watched him play last weekend during the Nike Peach Jam in a final push to land the top-ranked point guard in the cycle.
Acuff took official visits to Arkansas, Michigan and Kansas earlier this spring. Coach Cal and the Razorbacks got the final visit from one of the most coveted recruits in the country in May. He officially visited Kentucky last year when Calipari was the head man in Lexington.
The Razorbacks appear to be the favorite heading into his final decision. He received two crystal balls from 247Sports in favor of Arkansas over the last 24 hours.
