The Arkansas Razorbacks will soon be hosting another highly sought after prospect in the 2024 class.

A report from On3’s Joe Tipton is that 2024 Top-50 recruit Rakease Passmore has scheduled the following official visits with several SEC schools.

Mississippi State – Sept 9
Miami – Sept 15
LSU – Sept 22
Arkansas – Oct 6

Also working on setting up a visit to Wake Forest and potentially Kansas.

Passmore has already visited Indiana and Oregon.

The chiseled small forward has a very impressive offer list that includes Ole Miss, Tennessee, Memphis and Texas A&M, too.

One question is how many high school prospects will Arkansas take in this class? Five of the six the program brought in were either drafted or transferred out. The only exception is Joseph Pinion who remains on the roster for this coming season.

Scouting Report via On3

Rakease Passmore is a lengthy and highly explosive wing. At 6-foot-5, there is talk of him having a 46-inch max vertical jump. When he gets a head of steam, he attacks the rim with bad intentions. Passmore is much developed as a shooter. The release is high and consistent. He needs to develop creating off the bounce and building consistency, getting the ball into his shot pocket off the live dribble. Passmore has a high-level work ethic, which is evident by his rapid improvement over a short amount of time. He averaged 21 points playing with the Garner Road program on the Adidas 3SSB 16u Circuit. There is a massive upside here, and the work is showing to reach his vast ceiling.

Other 2024 recruits that have interest or visited previously are Annor Boateng, Tre Johnson, Ian Jackson, Jade Richardson and Karter Knox.
