Arkansas and John Calipari have picked up a commitment from Tennessee transfer Jonas Aidoo, according to multiple reports.
The 6-foot-11 big man was the team’s leading rebounder, averaging 11.4 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.8 blocks on 51.5% shooting last season. He earned All-SEC Second-Team and All-SEC Defense honors this year with the Vols.
He had interst from Baylor, Alabama and Kentucky, as well.
Aidoo is Calipari’s fifth roster addition this offseason, and the first outside of former Kentucky players or signees.
The Razorbacks have pulled in former Wildcats big Zvonimir Ivisic, alongside class of 2024 top-30 prospects Boogie Fland, Karter Knox and Billy Richmond.
For Tennessee, Aidoo is the fourth outgoing transfer this season, joining Tobe Awake (Arizona), Freddie Dilione (Penn State) and DJ Jefferson (Longwood).
