Arkansas Razorbacks

The Razorbacks are always interested in transfers and will need to look at both perimeter and frontcourt targets. After losing Trevon Brazile to injury, the remaining players in the rotation didn’t provide much offense, which is why they finished 10th in the SEC standings. Even if Brazile opts to come back, they’re likely to lose the Mitchell twins, along with senior forward Jalen Graham.

Arkansas is bringing in five-star center Baye Ball but he’s more of an athletic interior defender. They’ll need a post presence and a capable offensive scorer and Cohen is currently the top option from the portal. The SEC might be too big of a jump for the St. Francis (PA) transfer but 10-15 could provide needed offense on a winning team.

Butler Bulldogs

The portal efforts did not work for Coach Thad Matta and his first year with the program. Ali Ali didn’t work out and while Manny Bates was okay, the frontcourt didn’t produce much collectively. They’ll need help on both ends of the court and for a team that ranked in the 330’s in scoring production, will need to find all offense possible in the portal.

Cohen could potentially come in and lead the Bulldogs in scoring next season and would get a sizeable role. He may have to play at the four-spot next to Bates but with the current starting center dealing with academic issues, he might not even be back.
