10. Arkansas Razorbacks

It might take 1,000 words to fully understand the roster for the Hogs. To start with, they’re losing projected NBA Draft picks, Anthony Black, Ricky Council, and Nick Smith. Via transfer is Makhel Mitchell, Barry Dunning, and Derrian Ford. And there’s a real chance that both Davonte Davis and Jordan Walsh remain in the draft as well.

That’s okay because Arkansas, once again, has dominated the transfer portal. They’ve brought in five perimeter players so far; Khalif Battle (17.9 ppg at Temple), El Ellis (17.7 ppg and 4.4 apg at Louisville), Keyon Menifield (10.0 ppg and 3.1 apg at Washington), Jeremiah Davenport (9.1 ppg at Cincinnati), and Tramon Mark (10.1 ppg and 4.9 rpg at Houston). This doesn’t even include top-30 incoming point guard, Layden Blocker as well.

The frontcourt has stood pat for the most part, thanks to the return of both Jalen Graham and Trevon Brazile. The Missouri transfer missed most of last season with an injury that was a double-digit score and gives them a needed two-way presence. Add five-star freshman forward Baye Fall and likely one more addition and you’ll have another Final Four contender under Coach Eric Musselman.
