Kyree Walker, a 5-star forward in the 2020 recruiting class, has received an offer from Arkansas and new head coach Eric Musselman.
The 6-5 forward is one of the most coveted players in the group, and he was already a top target for Musselman when he was still at Nevada.
Walker also holds offers from numerous other programs, with Memphis also considered one of the frontrunners to land him.

He is rated as the top player in Arizona and the No. 19 player overall in the 2020 class, according to 247Sports.
There have been rumors that he could reclassify to 2019, but that appears to be just speculation at this point.
Musselman was announced as Arkansas’s new coach on Monday, and he’ll be tasked with trying to lead the program back to consistently being one of the best in the SEC.
The Razorbacks have not advanced beyond the Sweet 16 since 1996, which played a key role in the school’s decision to fire former coach Mike Anderson.
