"The main thing is I want to see the player development," said Ambrose-Hylton, a Toronto native. "I'm trying to get to the next level."
Ambrose-Hylton, 6-8, 196 pounds, of The International Sports Academy in Willoughby, Ohio, had more than 25 scholarship offers before he narrowed them down to Arkansas, Dayton, Alabama, North Carolina State and Southern California about three weeks ago.
He and his mother, Michelle Ambrose, were expected to arrive in Fayetteville late Thursday night for his visit that starts this morning. He said he's looking forward to seeing how Musselman's NBA background can benefit him.
"I want to see how they develop the guys," Ambrose-Hylton said. "He understands what players need in terms of getting to the next level in term."
ESPN also rates Ambrose-Hylton as the No. 14 small forward and the No. 58 overall recruit in the nation for the 2020 class.
Recruits have been impressed with Arkansas' detailed breakdown of the strengths and weaknesses of their game. Musselman has given Ambrose-Hylton a quick rundown of what the Hogs can do for him.
"Coach Musselman said how he really wanted to work with me on my shots and how even though I'm a good shooter from outside, he thinks he can get me to that lethal kind of shooter where I'm a knockdown shooter on open shots or contested," Ambrose-Hylton said. "He wants to work with me on my handles."
