Four-star forward lists Arkansas in top five

Daylin Swain, a four-star forward from the class of 2023, has included Arkansas in his top five college choices.

The no. 2 small forward from Ohio is considering Arkansas as his college destination.

However, this is not your usual top five, as this prospect has yet to receive an official offer from Arkansas.

[autotag]Dailyn Swain[/autotag], the nation’s no. 17 small forward from Columbus Africentric Early College in Columbus, Ohio, has listed Arkansas among his top schools, joining Arizona State, Clemson, Xavier, and hometown program Ohio State.

Despite not receiving an offer from [autotag]Eric Musselman[/autotag] and the Arkansas staff, he likes how the program has developed talent recently.

“Arkansas is a great program and I like their play style a lot,” Swain said in a recent interview with On3. “Coach (Eric) Musselman has produced a lot of talent in the past couple of years. I am hoping to set up a visit with them soon.”

When looking for a school, Swain, like most prospects, wants to make an impact early.

“I want to go to a school where I can come in and play, make an impact,” Swain said. “Winning is big too. I wouldn’t say location really matters to me, but fit. Player development is a big piece for me too.”

According to On3’s national recruiting analyst, Jamie Shaw, Swain is comfortable with the basketball in his hands and is very unselfish. However, he needs to add weight and become more aggressive to reach his full potential.

As of this post, in-state schools Ohio State and Xavier are the programs in the running to land him, with the Buckeyes holding a slight edge according to On3.
