Arkansas secures commitment from four-star forward Karter Knox.
Knox’s father, Kevin Knox, a former NFL professional athlete, discussed his son’s compatibility with Calipari’s offensive strategy in an interview with CatsIllustrated. He noted the transition to a different offensive style before, but expressed enthusiasm about the return to the Dribble Drive approach. He highlighted Karter’s suitability for this style, emphasizing his ability to attack the rim, draw fouls, and create opportunities for open shots. According to Kevin Knox, Calipari believes this system is perfectly suited for Karter’s strengths, particularly his size and willingness to drive aggressively. With Knox’s addition, Arkansas now has two scholarship players on its roster, and fans can stay updated on roster changes through The Trough premium message board. Notably, Karter Knox has a remarkable achievement in Nike EYBL history, being the first player to lead the 15U, 16U, and 17U age groups in per-minute scoring consecutively over three summers. In the most recent season with OTE, he made 80 three-pointers in 30 games and averaged 22 points per game.
