Calipari Targets Elite Wing Evan Willis | SEC Basketball News

Coach John Calipari is heating up the recruiting trail with a major offer to Evan Willis, the elite 6-foot-8 wing from Utah—ranked fourth overall in the 2028 class and top local prospect. With a jaw-dropping 12-foot-8 vertical, Willis combines explosive athleticism with scoring versatility, smooth jumpers, and guard-like handles. Already representing Team USA, he’s drawing interest from Kentucky, Texas, and Oregon. His defensive upside, especially shot-blocking potential, aligns perfectly with Arkansas’ emerging culture of lockdown defense. While his game still evolves on that end, Willis’ all-around talent makes him a future game-changer—and the race for his commitment is already heating up.
