Arkansas Offers 4-Star Center After Impressive Showing at NBPA Top-100 Camp

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Arkansas coach John Calipari is one of many coaches down in Rock Hill, (S.C.) this weekend to evaluate potential recruits at the NBPA Top-100 Camp.

One 2027 prospect in attendance is 4-star center Caleb Ourigou, who will walk away this weekend with his stock on the rise. He’ll also leave pocketing an offer from the Razorbacks.

The 6-foot-10, 215 pound center is now the latest prospect to keep a name on as Calipari looks to add more elite talent to the Razorbacks’ 2027 recruiting class.

He is also a potential 2026 reclass option, according to multiple reports, which could benefit Arkansas in a tremendous way if he decides to head to college early.

Ourigou has emerged as one of the hottest names on the Nike EYBL circuit this spring and recently added scholarship offers from several high-major programs such as TCU, Virginia, Michigan, NC State, Missouri, Auburn, BYU, UConn, Syracuse, Kentucky, and Tennessee.

The Razorbacks are in need of more size in the post to go alongside Furman transfer Carson Bowser, and Ourigou already plays with physicality that can translate to college ball quickly.

He played his junior season on the campus of the Atlanta-based Overtime Elite for Cold Hearts, and averaged over 17 minutes, six points, eight rebounds and one block per game while connecting on 57.3% from the floor but only 44% at the free throw line.

He helped lead his team to the finals of the tournament while making 75% of his field goal attempts and improved his free throw rate to just over 57%.

The New York native plays for NY Renaissance on the EYBL circuit and averaged 13 points, 10 rebounds and two blocks per game during Session II to close out the month of May. Ourigou made over 62% of his attempts from the field.

Scouting Report

There is tremendous value in big men who embrace doing “big man things,” and Ourigou fits that description, especially for teams in desperate need of a gamechanger down low.
