Class of 2025 5-star forward Chris Cenac is set to take an official visit to Arkansas this weekend, according to a report by On3’s Joe Tipton.
The 6-10, 210-pound forward recently trimmed his list of finalists down to Arkansas, Kentucky, Auburn, LSU, Baylor, Houston and Tennessee.
Arkansas coach John Calipari and assistant Chin Coleman were out to visit Cenac at Link Academy on Branson last week.
Cenac is a consensus 5-star prospect who comes in as the No. 7 overall player and No. 4 power forward in his class, according to the On3 Industry Rankings.
The visit will line up with Arkansas football’s highly-anticipated matchup with No. 8 LSU at Razorback Stadium Saturday night in Fayetteville.
Below is the latest scouting report on Cenac from On3:
“Chris Cenac has a great frame. It is projectable with long arms and natural fluidity. Cenac has good touch with good hands. He is a threat to step out and knock down a shot with his feet set. He needs to continue working on his balance and feet on the shot, but the release is consistent.
“Cenac is an excellent area rebounder. Making a concerted effort to high point and secure every board. He still needs strength, especially to his core and base. There is defensive upside. Cenac has a fluidity when he moves. He can open his hips and slide his feet. He also has natural timing around the rim.
“Now it is all about learning the angles, rotations, and footwork on that end. There is a high ceiling with Cenac as a lot of his tools translate to the highest levels of basketball. It is all about reps and development. He is still on the younger end for his 2025 class.”
Arkansas currently has one commitment in the 2025 class in 5-star guard Darius Acuff. The Razorbacks recently hosted fellow 5-star Meleek Thomas for an official visit as well as host top-30 wing Shon Abaev.
