WATCH: Eric Musselman promotes Jimmy Buffett concert with Arkansas freshman Barry Dunning
Arkansas Razorbacks head coach Eric Musselman has one of the more vibrant personalities in college athletics and he often sets social media ablaze. Earlier on Thursday night, the “Muss Bus” promoted a Jimmy Buffett concert at Wal-Mart AMP (Rogers, Arkansas) in a conversation he had with one of the Razorbacks’ freshmen for their loaded 2022 recruiting class, Barry Dunning.
Check out the video below featuring Dunning and Musselman.
In the interview with his head coach, Dunning lets everyone know a few fun facts, such as his favorite singer, which coincidentally enough, happens to be Jimmy Buffett. His favorite song is Margaritaville. And Buffett happens to be from Mobile, Alabama. Not only that, but the legendary singer also went to the same high school as Dunning—McGill-Toolen Catholic School (Mobile, Ala.) which Musselman lets everyone know in his tweet and in the interview.
Then, right at the end, both of them let everyone know that Buffett was playing a concert on Thursday, June 9, 2022 at Wal-Mart AMP (Rogers, Arkansas). Rogers is about a 35 minute drive from Fayetteville, Arkansas.

Musselman also reeled in one of the best classes in school history in the 2022 class for Arkansas basketball
Musselman not only knows how to get social media buzzing, but he reeled in some of the nation’s top high school basketball talent during the 2022 class.
Arkansas landed three five-star prospects, according to the On3 Consensus Rankings.
The Hogs reeled in Nick Smith, Jordan Walsh, and Anthony Black — three of the game’s premiere high school talents. All three players played in the 2022 McDonald’s All-American Game. It was the first time in Arkansas basketball history that the program has had a trio of players in the prestigious event.
The Razorbacks are expected to be one of the best teams in college basketball next season. According to the On3 Consensus Rankings for the 2022 class, Arkansas pulled in the nation’s No. 2 ranked recruiting class.
