Razorbacks Chase Montverde’s 6’7″ Hoop Phenom
Arkansas has extended a scholarship offer to Isaiah Hamilton, the No. 2 overall prospect in the 2028 class. The 6-foot-7, 200-pound small forward from Canada transferred to Montverde Academy and is averaging 23 points, eight rebounds, two assists and two steals per game while shooting 45% from the field and 40% from three. Hamilton joins a list of suitors that includes Alabama, Florida State, Georgia Tech and Syracuse, and he’s already established himself as the top small forward and No. 1 player in Florida according to 247Sports. Scouting reports praise his elite perimeter shooting, athleticism, defensive versatility and ability to play through contact, while noting his lean frame and decision-making as areas for growth as he faces high-level competition.
Good news, Razorbacks fans: your big board now officially includes a Canadian who can actually dribble without slipping on maple syrup. Coach Calipari’s latest recruiting gambit proves that Arkansas has absolutely no chill when it comes to hoarding five-star talent—why aim for one generational prospect when you can ink a whole national team? Isaiah Hamilton offers perimeter shooting, rim-rattling dunks and defensive length, which is exactly what you need if you plan to keep scoring in the 2020s. Sure, he’s still lean enough to qualify as a junior varsity ski instructor, but who cares when you’ve got boards to dominate? Here’s hoping Calipari remembers which coast Canada is on before scheduling practice times.
