Jerry Jones -- yes, that Jerry Jones -- recruiting Kentucky commits to Arkansas

Jones, a co-captain of Arkansas' 1964 national championship football team and a native of North Little Rock, is reportedly funding the Razorbacks' NIL efforts in a major way. Coach Cal wants to bring his second-ranked recruiting class with him to Fayetteville, and according to college basketball insider Trilly Donovan, Jones is offering double what they were set to make at Kentucky.

"Jerry Jones is reportedly offering DOUBLE whatever the Kentucky commits were making to come to Arkansas, per @trillydonovan," College Basketball Report wrote on Twitter. "Jerry Jones is an Arkansas booster and reportedly helped them hire John Calipari last week."

Five of Kentucky's six commitments in the 2024 recruiting class have backed out since Coach Cal's departure with Travis Perry remaining as the lone signee for the Wildcats. Karter Knox was first, followed by Jayden Quaintance, Somto Cyril, Boogie Fland and Billy Richmond III.

None of the five have flipped their pledges to Arkansas with Zvonimir Ivisic being the lone Wildcat to follow Calipari to Fayetteville officially, transferring to join the Razorbacks earlier this week.

That class was ranked No. 2 overall.

Will Jerry Jones be the one to re-assemble them in Fayetteville
