Ohio forward seeks help to NBA

ESPN four-star small forward Keon Ambrose-Hylton will be focusing on how University of Arkansas Coach Eric Musselman and his staff can prepare him for the NBA during his official visit to Fayetteville this weekend.

"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.
