2. Arkansas Razorbacks

Everyone knows about head coach Eric Musselman and his love of the transfer portal. In fact, he already has landed five guards this offseason. But to be clear, he and the program also have tapped into the high school ranks for five-stars, landing three last year.

Nick Smith and Anthony Black, two of those star recruits, are likely off to the NBA as projected lottery picks. Black is a former high school teammate of Holland, with both coming from Duncanville. And in the first go-around, the Razorbacks were one of the real finalists for Holland.

From a roster standpoint, there’s a clear potential to have the five-star join the fold. They’re likely losing Jordan Walsh, who played some small-ball last year. Arkansas does have back Trevon Brazile, the athletic forward/center that played mostly at the five-spot. Five-star forward Baye Fale is joining the team but he’s raw and may not get much minutes as a freshman.

The guards are going to provide a ton of scoring next season but outside of Brazile, Arkansas could use another scoring frontcourt player. Holland would be a perfect fit on the roster and be a missing piece and would be yet another win for Coach Musselman and company.
