Layne Taylor Layne Taylor 5'11" | PG Farmington | 2024 State AR -Point Guard-Farmington-5’11”-2024
The Farmington point guard recently had a great visit to North Texas. Taylor is a tremendous ball handler and does an excellent job of setting up the open shooter. Earlier this week, Taylor placed a verbal commitment with the Mean Green of North Texas. Taylor is setting the stage for a great season after having a strong summer on the club circuit. He is a player to keep an eye on this season.

Courtland Muldrew Courtland Muldrew 6'3" | PG Springdale Har-Ber | 2025 State AR is starting to blow up from a recruiting perspective. He is a point guard that can hit from anywhere on the court. However, he does an excellent job of distributing the basketball. He is drawing the interest of Ole Miss, SMU, Illinois, Oklahoma, and Texas. Meanwhile, he has earned scholarship offers from University of Missouri-Kansas City, Wichita State, and SMU. The Springdale Bulldogs have the potential to make a deep playoff run this upcoming season.

Richard High Richard High 6'4" | SG Osceola | 2024 State AR had a great showing on the club circuit this summer. Has a smooth jump shot from all areas of the court. He is a player that is active on the defensive end of the court. High does a great job of jumping the passing lane and finishing at the other end of the court. He has earned a scholarship offer from Arkansas State University-Newport. High is a prospect to watch out for this upcoming season.
Terrion Burgess Terrion Burgess 6'9" | SF Benton | 2025 State #42 Nation AR -Combo Guard-Benton-6’9”-2025
Burgess is a versatile player that can play every position on the floor. He runs the floor well and does a great job of finishing at the rim. Burgess’ length makes him a difficult player for opposing players to drive to the basket on. Burgess spent the weekend taking the Arkansas-Western Carolina football game in Little Rock over the weekend. The Arkansas basketball team remains a contender for his services. I expect Burgess to have a big season for Benton this season.
