Arkansas basketball coach John Calipari is building momentum with the 2025 recruiting class, recently securing a commitment from Isaiah Sealy, a four-star forward and the top-ranked player in Arkansas. The university confirmed Sealy’s signing on November 16, marking another significant addition to the Razorbacks’ growing roster of talent.
Isaiah Sealy’s Impact
At 6-foot-7, Sealy brings a versatile skill set and exceptional athleticism. Known for his ability to attack the basket, he showcased his talents as the Springdale Bulldogs’ point guard last season, posting impressive stats:
- 28.2 points per game
- 8.0 rebounds
- 3.0 assists
- 1.8 blocks
- 1.3 steals
His standout junior season earned him multiple accolades, including a spot on the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette All-Arkansas Preps second team and 6A first-team All-State honors.
In the 2024 Nike EYBL summer circuit, playing for Pro Skills Elite, Sealy averaged 16.3 points and 5.7 rebounds in just 18 minutes per game, underscoring his ability to perform against top competition.
Calipari’s Excitement
Calipari expressed enthusiasm about Sealy’s commitment, particularly impressed by his performance at the EYBL event in Augusta:
“I saw him compete at a really high level in EYBL in Augusta. Was blown away by his skill level. I see him as a big-time player! Excited for our fans to see @isaiah_sealy in Bud Walton Arena!”
Arkansas’ Recruiting Class
Sealy joins a 2025 recruiting class that already includes five-star guards Darius Acuff and Meleek Thomas, elevating Arkansas to the No. 4 spot nationally in the latest recruiting rankings. The Razorbacks trail only Duke, UConn, and Kansas and rank second in the SEC behind Alabama.
What’s Next?
The Razorbacks remain active in recruiting, with their sights set on five-star prospects Caleb Wilson and Chris Cenac, as well as talented players like Nate Ament and Shon Abaev. Calipari’s aggressive recruiting approach has positioned Arkansas as a rising powerhouse in college basketball, with a strong foundation for future success.
Fans are eager to see how Sealy and the rest of the 2025 class will shape the Razorbacks’ fortunes in the coming years.
