The roster for Arkansas basketball next year will be an unfamiliar one.
The Razorbacks are bringing in the No. 2 recruiting class in the nation, complete with six new players. They also have five players incoming from the transfer portal after losing four through the same. Throw in the loss of [autotag]JD Notae[/autotag] to the NBA draft and the exhausted eligibility of Stanley Umude and Au’Diese Toney – nevermind [autotag]Jaylin Williams[/autotag], who still has to choose whether to stay in the draft or return – and ‘new look’ is an understatement for 2022-23.
As of now, Arkansas’ roster looks a bit like this.
Bigs
Kamani Johnson, 6-7, 235
Makhel Mitchell, 6-10, 245
Mekhi Mitchell, 6-9, 230
Jalen Graham, 6-9, 220
Trevon Brazile, 6-9, 215
Lawson Blake, 6-10, 225
Wings
Jordan Walsh, 6-7, 190
Barry Dunning, 6-6, 205
Joseph Pinion, 6-6, 180
Ricky Council IV, 6-6, 205
Guards
Devo Davis, 6-4, 180
Nick Smith, 6-4, 185
Anthony Black, 6-7, 185
Derrian Ford, 6-3, 190
Cade Arbogast, 6-3, 170
The freshmen have been examined for months. But the transfer portal players less so. With that mind, let’s take a closer look at just how the portal changed Arkansas’ look.
