🔥The ‘Hotlist’ (Nov. 21):

Arkansas

+ Conner Cunningham, SS, Batesville HS, Murray State commit:
“Cunningham is a throwback-type player who plays the game the right way. As the son of a coach, it's apparent watching him play that he has a feel for the game in all facets. He has a sweet-swinging left-handed stroke that produces pole-to-pole power that's coming in as he fills out his stature. Look for Cunningham to have a big spring that should garner some attention from the pro scouting community throughout the high school season.”

– Brian Walker, Arkansas State Director
