While the 2024-25 college basketball season is about to reach March, the recruiting trail never sleeps. Arkansas Razorbacks head coach John Calipari recently showed this when he visited five-star forward prospect Nate Ament at one of his preps games.
This move highlights Calipari and the Razorbacks’ commitment to sign a top-tier recruiting class and get the program to the top of the SEC.
Top Prospect Nate Ament Draws John Calipari’s Attention
Nate Ament, a 6’9″ small forward from Highland High School in Virginia, is considered the third-best talent in the 2025 class. His mix of size, skill, and versatility has made him one of the most sought-after players in the nation.
Calipari’s visit emphasizes the Razorbacks’ strong desire for Ament. However, the fight for his commitment is strong, and Calipari’s former squad, the Kentucky Wildcats, is making huge strides.
Mark Pope, the head coach of the Wildcats, has made a huge push for the player’s commitment.
Ament recently made an official visit to Kentucky, which coincided with the Wildcats’ high-profile matchup against Tennessee. Pope went a step further by attending Ament’s senior night.
With his high school career nearing completion, Ament’s commitment announcement is anticipated in the coming months. His previous visits to Kentucky and ongoing talks with Arkansas reveal that a decision could be coming shortly.
Calipari’s attendance at Ament’s game underscores how significant this recruitment is to the Arkansas program. Meanwhile, Kentucky is making an equally hard drive to get the elite forward to Lexington.
