Calipari Targets Gibson for Razorback Backcourt | College Basketball News

Arkansas is on the hunt for elite guards in 2027, eyeing top prospects like Beckham Black and Cayden Daughtry — but their latest target, King Gibson, could be the game-changer. Ranked 16th overall and 4th among guards, Gibson brings size (6’5”, 185 lbs), scoring (15 PPG, 39% from three), and defensive versatility that complements smaller backcourt pieces. He can run the point or slash off the ball, making him a perfect fit for Calipari’s system. With visits already set with UConn, Baylor, Louisville, and LSU, Arkansas leans on Calipari’s proven track record with guards to secure Gibson — who also serves as a strong backup if they miss out on their top targets. The goal? Build a balanced, dynamic backcourt that wins now and beyond. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
