Boateng chooses Missouri over Arkansas and host of others
Little Rock Central has given Arkansas plenty of former basketball standouts.
Joe Johnson immediately comes to mind. More recently, Alandise Harris was a key contributor on Mike Anderson’s first NCAA Tournament team in 2014-15.
Current 2024 wing Annor Boateng won’t be one of them, as he committed to Missouri on Friday on his social media.
NEWS: Annor Boateng, the No. 17 overall player in the 2024 class, tells me he’s committed to Missouri — becoming the Tigers fourth highest-ranked recruit in program history.
The 6-5 Wing chose Dennis Gates over offers from Arkansas, Auburn, Indiana, and others.

Boateng took a number of visits to Arkansas, but the prevailing wisdom was that he was not enamored with the Razorbacks and wasn’t going to plan on staying in-state.
On3 rates him as a five-star prospect and the No. 9 player in the country out of the Class of 2024. At 247Sports, Boateng is a four-star player and the No. 38 player in the class.
He is the reigning Arkansas Gatorade Player of the Year for the Tigers after averaging 16 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 assists in 2022-23 at Central.
