Thursday recruiting tidbits

Willy Kouassi

Arkansas center Willy Kouassi arrived in Fayetteville Wednesday night, according to his Twitter account.

Kouassi, 6-10 1/2, 233 pounds, has one year of immediate eligibility remaining after receiving a release from Kennesaw State in Georgia.

As reported on Tuesday, small forward Doobie Jenkins plans to report this afternoon.

Jenkins, 6-7, 215 pounds, played at Naples (Fla.) First Baptist Academy and averaged 14.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.3 steals a game this past season.

A Florida source said as of Wednesday, the Gators weren't interested in former USC quarterback Ricky Town.

The Trojans are going more towards the dual-threat quarterback and Town wants to play in a pro-style offense.

2019 forward-center Kalin Bennett, 6-9, 230 has enrolled at Little Rock Christian. He was attending Canyon Creek High School in Richardson, Texas. He lived in Little Rock until moving to Texas a few years ago.

He plays for the Arkansas Hawks in the spring and summer. He wears a size 20 shoe and is expected to grow into the 7-0 to 7-2 range.

11:45 update

As reported Wednesday, Arkansas did not extend an offer to Town prior to his unofficial visit. As of now, the evaluating process is ongoing. I would expect a decision will be made soon.

5:55 update

Town and his parents toured the campus today and also watched this afternoon's practice.
