LAS VEGAS — Urban DFW BJ forward Adrio Bailey recently received an offer from Arkansas.
Bailey, 6-6, 205 of Campti, La. reports having 19 offers from schools like Wichita State, Old Dominion and La. Tech. He's very interested in the Hogs and will likely take an official visit.
He's a very athletic small forward that would fit in well with Coach Mike Anderson's uptempo style of play. He plays hard and is very aggressive on defense and offense.
Bailey said he has an uncle that's a big Razorback fan and when he was younger he attended several games. Assistant T.J. Cleveland is recruiting him. His face lit up while talking about Cleveland.
Associate head coach Melvin Watkins and Cleveland attended his 8:30 game this morning in which he had 9 points in a loss.
Much more updates will be posted throughout the day.
2:42 update
Associate head coach Melvin Watkins was in attendance to watch Arkansas Hawks forward S.K. Shittu go against Triumph Gold 17 from Texas. Shittu had 5 points in a 59-44 loss.
Shittu, 6-9, 200 of Rogers Providence Christian Academy has offers from LSU, Oklahoma, Tulsa and several others. Sooners coach Ron Kruger was also on hand. He plans to attend Arkansas' upcoming camp. It was at last year's camp that he stood out and raised his stock and got on the radar of several other schools.
A native of Nigeria, he's still green after only being in the states for two years but his upside is tremendous.
