Summary
Acuff was as dynamic as any lead guard in high school basketball last year, showing a real ability to put his team on his back and drive to win. He finished as a top-five recruit and No. 1 overall point guard in the national class. At Arkansas, he has lived up to that billing and been as impactful as any freshman guard in the country.
