Arizona State Sun Devils

It’s been a busy offseason both ways for the Sun Devils, having lost and gained a number of players. On the positive side, they landed four transfers, including stretch forward Zane Meeks and center, Shawn Phillips. The 7’0 center is a former four-star prospect that played fewer than 10 mpg as a freshman.

It’s unclear if he’s a power conference player and with Warren Washington having entered the transfer portal this week, Arizona State could use another big. Bandaogo would give them a legit inside presence and would be a nice fit alongside Meeks in the frontcourt.

Arkansas Razorbacks

Arkansas has already landed five transfers but all of them come via the perimeter. The frontcourt is in solid shape, thanks to Trevon Brazile coming back for another year. They have five-star forward Baye Fall joining the team, while Makhi Mitchell is back for now while his brother Makhel, is in the portal.

The Razorbacks are going to be looking for at least one frontcourt player and Bandaogo would be the ideal fit at center. He’s someone that can play 20-25 mpg and be the defensive anchor against the many quality SEC big men. They’ve reached out to everyone, why not him too?
