NCAA Basketball: Ranking the 10 options for Oral Roberts transfer Kevin Obanor

4. Arkansas Razorbacks

Despite adding so many transfers this offseason, Arkansas still has plenty of roster spots available. But is there still room available for another rotational piece instead of a back-of-the-end bench player? This team has had several mid-major transfers succeed, including former Jacksonville guard and last season’s 6th Man of the Year JD Notae. But some have also failed as well.

The one spot that could be upgraded is at power forward, currently being held by undersized forward transfers Au’Diese Toney and Trey Wade. Obanor would be the one true power forward on the roster, which would give him a legit shot at starting and having good minutes. However, even back at his days at Nevada, head coach Eric Musselman uses a lot of “positionless” lineups. The best lineup for the Hogs last season had 6’7 forward Justin Smith so don’t be surprised if Wade or Toney ends up being better fits at the four-spot than Obanor would.

3. Oklahoma Sooners

The Sooners revamped frontcourt features Big Sky Player of the Year Tanner Groves, JUCO transfer Akol Mawien, and 5th-year senior transfer Ethan Chargois. While Groves is the offensive threat, both Mawien and Chargois are stronger on the defensive end. Obanor would be a nice complement to the frontcourt rotation, allowing the team to use a number of versatile lineups next season.

Oklahoma can use some more offensive firepower and as good as Groves was against Kansas in the Round of 64 this past season, he’s not a guarantee to be good at the Big 12 level. Obanor at the very least gives them frontcourt insurance and another potential option to work with but the best case gives them a lethal one-two frontcourt punch that can spread the floor as well.
