Isaiah Sealy, a four-star small forward from Springdale High School in Arkansas, announced his commitment to the Arkansas Razorbacks on Saturday. Coach John Calipari didn't have to search far for his third signee in the 2025 class. Just 15 miles from Bud Walton Arena, he secured the 6-foot-7 forward to bolster the team.
Sealy picked the Razorbacks over Ole Miss, California and Boston College. When asked by 247Sports' Travis Barnham about what separated him from other prospects, Sealy said:
"I really think it's the way I play in transition. I feel like the schools I picked, it's the way I fit in, playing style." (2:14)
Sealy attributed Calipari's friendly attitude and seamless support from the staff to ultimately convincing him to pledge for the Razorbacks.
“You know Coach Cal and staff building our relationship, and him showing me how I fit in with Arkansas and the playing style that really got it a lot, and him and coaches talking to my family definitely did a big part,” Sealy said. (4:24)
