Oral Roberts power forward transfer Kevin Obanor has announced a top four, and the University of Arkansas is one of his finalists.

Obanor, 6-8, 225 pounds, listed the Razorbacks, Alabama, Illinois and Texas Tech.

"They have a great coaching staff," Obanor said about his interest in Arkansas. "Good culture in general."

He averaged 23.3 points and 11 rebounds during ORU's run to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament. He scored 30 points and grabbed 11 rebounds in the Golden Eagles' upset of No. 2 seed Ohio State, and 28 points and 11 rebounds in the win over No. 7 seed Florida.

Obanor had 12 points and 11 rebounds in the 72-70 loss to Arkansas in the Sweet 16.

Obanor, who recently pulled his name out of the upcoming NBA Draft, averaged 18.7 points and 9.6 rebounds while shooting 50% from the field, 46% from three-point range and 87.5% at the free-throw line as a junior. He was an All-Summit League first-team selection.

The forward has one year of eligibility remaining.
