FAYETTEVILLE -- Arkansas' Eric Musselman has landed a commitment from Branson (Mo.) Link Academy Class of 2024 four-star combo forward Jalen Shelley.
Shelley, 6-foot-8, committed to Arkansas on Monday following an official visit this past weekend. He chose the Hoop Hogs over Louisville, Ohio State, LSU, Texas A&M, Houston, Colorado, and Marquette.
Shelley told Hogville's Kevin McPherson how his visit went.
"My visit ended well!" said Shelley, who had breakfast with Arkansas' coaching staff on Sunday before departing.
"(The Hogs') basketball practice is very fast-paced which requires players to be in great shape to get through it, which I think will be good for me," said Shelley, who attended Arkansas' practice on Saturday morning at the performance center across the street from Bud Walton Arena in Fayetteville before he attended the Football Hogs' game against Kent State on Saturday afternoon at Razorback Stadium.
His official visit to Arkansas came nearly a year after taking an unofficial visit there when he attended the Football Hogs' game vs. Missouri State where his older brother, Jason Shelley, was the starting quarterback.
Shelley had previously visited Louisville and had at least two visits planned to Ohio State and Colorado before pledging to Musselman's Razorbacks.
