Arkansas Lands Top-Tier Center Caleb Ourigou | SEC Basketball News

Arkansas Razorbacks just pulled off a major recruiting coup, locking down four-star center Caleb Ourigou — a 6-foot-10 New York native who’s been tearing it up on the Nike EYBL circuit. Despite whispers he might jump to the 2026 class, Ourigou fits Arkansas’s mission to beef up the frontcourt, joining five-star point guard Davion Thompson as a key 2027 addition. After falling short of the Elite Eight the past couple seasons, the Hogs brought in multiple 7-footers this offseason, and Ourigou’s physicality and intensity — even with room to grow on free throws — make him a perfect fit. He previously played for the Cold Hearts at Overtime Elite, averaging six points, eight rebounds, and a block per game. With Peach Jam around the corner, watch for any potential reclassification moves — this could be a game-changer for Arkansas’s already top-ranked recruiting class.
