What to expect from grad transfer Jeantal Cylla

Eric Musselman's first commitment as coach of the Razorbacks has the potential to pay big dividends.

Saturday, he secured the pledge of former Florida Atlantic and University of North Carolina-Wilmington forward Jeantal Cylla, who, at 6-7, 215 pounds, is the kind of player who can bolster Arkansas' frontcourt.

Background

Cylla averaged 8.5 points over 63 career games - 55 starts - at FAU prior to transferring to UNCW. After sitting out the 2017-18 season, he scored a career-high 13.7 points per game, finishing second on the team in scoring and rebounding behind Seahawks forward Devontae Cacok, who averaged better than 15 points and 12 rebounds.
