Arkansas associate men's basketball coach Melvin Watkins traveled to Pennsylvania on Wednesday to check on two 2016 big men prospects.

Watkins saw Scotland Performance Institute power forward Cheickna Dembele and center Aleksandar Zecevic, and it appears Coach Mike Anderson might make a trip to the school.

"They're going to kind of go back and talk it over, and maybe the head coach will come out and take a look at both of them," said Isiah Anderson, who founded the school.

Dembele, 6-10, 235, has scholarship offers from Iowa State, Missouri, North Carolina State, St. Joseph's, UNC-Charlotte and LaSalle.
