JJ Andrews visited Baton Rouge campus and saw the Bayou Bengals lose to Vandy
Despite the Razorbacks' recent disappointments on the court, coach John Calipari must still spend time on recruiting. It's the cross college coaches bear. Win now and spend time wooing high school phenoms in order to win later.
Arkansas has suffered back-to-back setbacks, losing in humiliating fashion by 24 on the road to then-No. 1 Tennessee Saturday. That was followed by an equally, perhaps greater, fiasco considering it came at Bud Walton Arena. That seven-point loss to No. 23 Ole Miss puts the Hogs in a precarious position at 0-2 in the toughest roundball conference in the country.
A big step to securing future success would be to get the signature of Ja'Shawn "JJ" Andrews on a letter of intent. No hurry since Andrews is a member of the 2026 recruiting class. But others are also wooing the 5-star recruit.Before you get too worried, understand that high school stars often take photos like those above to post on social media. It doesn't indicate that LSU and coach Matt McMahon have the lead in securing the services of Andrew.
Andrews had a previous scholarship offer from former hoops Hog boss Eric Musselman before he bolted for Southern Cal. It's always satisfying to have coaches call, visit and offer scholarships but it's rarely an easy choice where to play and attend college.When Calipari, the Hall of Fame coach and 2012 national champion, moved from Kentucky to Fayetteville, it didn't take him long to learn about Andrews. He offered a scholarship last June to the highly coveted lefty.
