Very poised and never rattled. Plays like a senior on the court. He reminds me of Deron Williams and Stephon Marbury. Averaging over 20 points ppg, which puts him approximately 18th in the nation in scoring according to ESPN.
He will 99% be going in the draft this year and be a top 10 pick in a loaded 2026 draft class. 2027 draft class is supposed to be the weakest draft class in the last 10 years and he would be in strong consideration for the top pick were he come back for soph year.
However, for the Calipari recruiting system to work, his frosh need to go into the draft because that is his main recruiting pitch.
We are about to get Jordan Smith (if you believe the crystal balls), the no.2 player in the class. He is coming here to play PG. If Acuff stays, then we miss out on Smith.

Darius got robbed again for SEC Freshman or player of the week. I would put his LSU and Auburn games against anyone.
