Arkansas made offers Thursday to three in-state 2020 recruits, all of whom play for the 16-and-under Woodz Elite in the Arkansas EYBL Summer League, according to Antonio Buchanan.
The players receiving offers are:

• Chris Moore, a 6-6 forward from West Memphis also has offers from Memphis, SMU, TCU, Southern Miss, Abilene Christian and Murray State, along with interest from Ole Miss, Houston and numerous others.
Moore was named the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette All-Arkansas Preps Boys Sophomore of the Year after averaging 14 points and 7 rebounds while leading the Blue Devils to a 29-4 record and Class 6A state runner-up. He shot 72 percent from the field and 62 percent from the free-throw line.
Moore, who has an uncle that’s 7-3, is projected to grow 4 inches to 6-10. He had an outstanding showing at the Pangos All-South camp for freshmen and sophomores in Dallas during the fall. PlayHoops.com rated Moore the No. 3 performer out of more than 200 at the camp.
