Arkansas Basketball: 5 players who could be added to 2019-20 roster

1) Khadim Sy (6’10” 245 C) – Daytona State College

Khadim Sy played his freshman year at Virginia Tech where he started 28 games as a freshman, averaging 4 points and 2.7 rebounds per game.  Following his stay in Blacksburg, he wound up at Daytona State College where he put up huge numbers this past season.  He averaged 17 points and 10 rebounds per game and is the #4 rated junior college prospect in the country.  He was also named an Honorable Mention NJCAA All-American and conference player of the year.

From a shear size standpoint, Sy would immediately fill the void left by the departure of Daniel Gafford.  While he may not be as freakishly athletic, Sy very well may be a better low-post scorer and certainly has more range on his jump-shot.  His shot blocking and rebounding ability would also be a huge boost to the Arkansas front-court that annually ranked near the bottom of the SEC in total rebounding under Mike Anderson.

Khadim recently released his top-5, which included LSU, Ole Miss, Pitt, East Carolina, and Arkansas.  Some recruiting experts believe that he has narrowed his focus to LSU and Ole Miss, but he would arguably have the best mutual fit with Musselman and Arkansas.  He would be a starter and key contributor from day one in Fayetteville.  Sy, and his junior college coaches, were impressed with Musselman’s vision and plan for him at Arkansas and upon last glance both parties were looking for an ideal time to schedule a visit.
