Former NBA star John Wall played a key mentorship role in helping the Arkansas Razorbacks and head coach John Calipari secure a commitment from highly touted recruit Jordan Smith Jr., according to a report from the Fort Smith Southwest Times Record.
Wall, who has maintained ties to the Arkansas program, reportedly guided Smith Jr. through the recruiting process, ultimately leading to the prospect's decision to join the Razorbacks. The addition of Smith Jr. bolsters Arkansas' recruiting class under Calipari, who returned to the program for his second stint as head coach.
