By ADAM ZAGORIA

Josh Cohen, the 6-foot-10 UMass transfer who played high school ball at Christian Brothers Academy (N.J.), has committed to Arkansas.

Cohen averaged 15.9 points and 6.8 rebounds as a senior, and 21.8 points and 8.3 boards the year before.

“I will be going to Arkansas because of Coach Muss [Eric Musselman],” he told ZAGSBLOG. “I can bring a low-post presence to the SEC.”

Arkansas finished 16-17, 6-12 in the SEC.
