The Arkansas basketball roster is officially complete and there are just nine days before the team heads to the Bahamas to play in the Baha Mar Hoops Summer League.
Arkansas officially announced its final four signees — Caleb Ourigou, Davion Thompson, Ilia Frolov and Maper Maker — will play in the exhibition games as well.
With the official announcement of the new players, the Arkansas website also updated heights, weights and jersey numbers for the team. HawgBeat had previously found measurables for the players on the roster at the time, but they’ve now been updated.
Note: The heights and weights for each player, both the previous and new, came from their official page on the Arkansas website.
Takeaways
– Cooper Bowser and Miikka Muurinen adding 10 and 15 pounds, respectively, is big. The Hogs missed a lot of physicality down low last season and the added size will help out a lot with that.
– JJ Andrews will probably be called upon to play the four this season, and another 10 pounds to his frame, like the two mentioned above, will go a long way to making him more effective in that category.
– There must have been a typo on Jeremiah Wilkinson’s page when he first signed with Arkansas. It’s possible he gained 30 pounds over the course of a month, though it’s incredibly unlikely.
– There are more 7-footers on this year’s roster than any in the Calipari era at Arkansas. Having that kind of depth will allow the bigs to play with more physicality because foul trouble will not be as big an issue.
