I’m Baye Fall. Here’s why I signed to Arkansas Razorback Football 2025 recruiting class

Baye Fall, a five-star forward who selected Arkansas over Auburn, Seton Hall, and Rutgers, was added by Eric Musselman on Tuesday as the potential jewel in the crown of the Arkansas Razorbacks’ 2023 recruiting class. Travis Graf examines the types of prospects the Razorbacks are receiving and what this means for Arkansas going forward.

Fall’s exceptional length at 6′ 10″ enhances his ability on both ends of the court. Depending on the system, this rangy forward may play the four or the five. Fall brings his athleticism to the game every time he on the court. For his stature, he moves quite well.

Despite being a high-quality athlete, for Fall to take the next step in his progression, he needs to add muscle quickly. Defensively, he serves as a rim protector and does a good job of guarding pick and rolls, but needs to work on discipline at that end of the court. Offensively, he’s best suited out of the dunker spot, using his athleticism to high point missed shots and lobs from driving guards.

He’s shown an expanding skill set — outside shooting and post fades — at that end of the court, but simplifying his game might be the best thing for him to do at the college level.

Musselman has his front court crown jewel set for the class thanks to Baye Fall’s commitment today, but he may try to add an experienced big man through the transfer portal. With Fall joining four-star point guard Layden Blocker, Arkansas now has two players from the 2023 high school class.

As it stands today, the Razorbacks’ recruiting class will likely be finished with the staff plugging holes via the transfer portal this off-season, unless they can secure a reclass big man.
