Arkansas coach John Pelphrey picked up a commitment late Tuesday night, giving him four players now in his 2009-10 recruiting class.

The player is Julysses Nobles, a 6-foot-1, 175-pound point guard from Callaway High in Jackson, Miss. Nobles was one of three finalists for the Mr. Basketball award in Mississippi after leading Callaway to the Class 4A state championship.

Nobles committed late Tuesday night on a Jackson TV newscast, picking the Razorbacks over Iowa, Wichita State, UAB, Tulane and Georgia State, according to the Jackson Clarion-Ledger. He averaged 21 points, six assists and five rebounds this past season.

He figures to give Arkansas a much-needed true point guard as a backup to sophomore-to-be Courtney Fortson, who logged too many minutes this season.

Nobles joins West Memphis center Anthony Borden (7-0, 230), power forward Marshawn Powell (6-8, 250) of The Miller (Va.) School and Cloud County (Kan.) Community College wing Jemal Farmer (6-5, 215) in the 09-10 class.
