FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn and his staff worked hard to get a highly-ranked 2020 recruiting class in place.
But following the NCAA Division I Council's vote Monday to give spring sport athletes an extra year of eligibility due to the coronavirus pandemic, this year's class of signees could be a part of a much different roster next season than the one that was projected.
Arkansas’ 2020 class has 20 signees and is ranked third nationally by Baseball America, behind only Texas and Vanderbilt.
“If we get our freshmen, it’s a talented group of freshmen with a couple or three that right now could really help us whether on the mound or with the bat,” Van Horn said during a teleconference Tuesday.
