One of Arkansas’ six heralded 2022 high school basketball signees was named the best player in Alabama on Thursday afternoon.
Mobile (Ala.) McGill-Toolen star and future Razorback Barry Dunning (6-6, 185) was named Mr. Basketball by the Alabama Sports Writers Association at a ceremony in Montgomery.
Dunning became the 40th person named Mr. Basketball after a senior season in which he averaged 25.3 points, 12.9 rebounds, 3.3 steals, 2.6 assists and 1.7 blocks.
“First of all, I want to give God the credit for giving me the talent to play the game I love,” Dunning said.
