Arkansas basketball coach John Calipari is mostly done assembling his roster for the 2025-26 season, but the Hogs are still looking to add one more frontcourt piece – who will likely come from the international scene.
Calipari already has two big men at the five spot in Malique Ewin and Nick Pringle, but a quality backup for Trevon Brazile at the four spot is still missing. Lebanese forward Karim Rtail is on the squad, but is viewed as a pretty raw prospect who isn’t expected to contribute much in his freshman season. Another forward on the roster would round out a 10-man rotation for next season.
