Arkansas
Scout Report
When a 6-6 wing from Arkansas picks up 10 D1 offers before his junior season starts, scouts take notice.
Background
JJ Andrews grew up in Little Rock and found his home at Little Rock Christian Academy, where he's developed into one of the state's premier prospects. Coming from Arkansas basketball country, he's built his reputation the old-fashioned way through consistent production and steady improvement.
Playing Style
Andrews brings that versatile wing package every college coach wants - size, length, and the ability to play multiple positions. At 6-6, he can guard three spots defensively and create matchup problems on the offensive end. His frame allows him to finish through contact in the paint, but he's equally comfortable stepping out and knocking down perimeter shots. The development areas are typical for a young wing - tightening his handle against pressure and becoming more consistent with his shot selection when games get physical.
Recruitment
With offers from Arkansas, Missouri, NC State, LSU, Marquette, Oklahoma, Illinois, and Ole Miss already in hand, Andrews has committed to stay home with the Razorbacks. That #12 national ranking in the 2026 class reflects his ceiling as a player who could develop into a multi-year starter at the SEC level.

I'm sorry that Tom and his business were targeted for harassment by supporters for my opponents, simply because he agreed to let me put a sign in his field. It's a school board race, folks! Seriously! https://t.co/x6epDUllV4 via @FacebookWatch
When it comes to school behavior, do our kids need more punishment in school or do they need education intervention? I share my views on this topic, which came up again at the last board meeting and is being pushed by my opponents. https://t.co/I2FZDKgH3B via @FacebookWatch
