Future Razorbacks and one major target were impressed with Arkansas’ 71-64 road victory over Indiana on Sunday.
The Razorbacks improved to 11-1 and won their first road game against a Big Ten opponent. Indiana fell to 11-2.
Arkansas commit Khalen Robinson, 6-1, 170 of Oak Hill Academy believes the win will help the Hogs get some attention on a national scale.
“I didn’t get to see it, but that’s a big time win,” said Robinson, who is a 4-star player, according to ESPN. “I feel like Arkansas basketball is starting to open eyes nationally.”
The game was televised on the Big Ten Network which limited the audience. Signee Davonte Davis, 6-4, 175 of Jacksonville was one of those unable to watch the game.
“I didn’t get to watch the game, but I heard they played really well,” said Davis, who is also an ESPN 4-star recruit. “Glad (those) guys played hard and pulled out a great road win. The team and coaches are tough as hell.”
Fort Smith Northside forward and Arkansas pledge Jaylin Williams, 6-10, 235 believes the victory is a confidence booster.
"It was a big win for the team and I think that it was a win that a lot of the fans wanted to see," said Williams, who's also an ESPN 4-star prospect.
Junior forward and Arkansas commitment Duncan Powell, 6-7, 225 of DeSoto, Texas said the Hogs played team ball. Powell is also rated a 4-star player by ESPN.
“Pulled off a great team win, executed in transition and had a overall good defensive game,” Powell said.
ESPN 4-star shooting guard and Hog commitment Moses Moody, 6-6, 190 of Montverde Academy in Florida said the win was huge.
"This was definitely a big win and it validates that team's success," Moody said.
Forward Harrison Ingram, 6-7, 210 of St. Mark's School of Texas in Dallas is an ESPN 4-star prospect, the No. 3 small forward and No. 19 overall recruit in the 2021 class. He made an unofficial visit to Fayetteville in August and plans to make a return trip.
