Malcolm Dandridge, a 4-star center in the 2019 recruiting class, has picked up an offer from Arkansas.

Dandridge also picked up an offer from Ole Miss this week while additionally having SEC interest from Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and Tennessee.

He recently received an offer and a visit from Memphis head coach Penny Hardaway, who coached the 6-9 prospect both in AAU and in high school at Memphis East.

According to 247Sports, Dandridge is ranked as the No. 22 center and No. 117 overall prospect in the 2019 class. All nine of the scouting service’s crystal ball predictions for Dandridge have him landing with Hardaway at Memphis.

Mike Anderson currently has one commitment for 2019, with Little Rock point guard Justice Hill committing to the school two years ago as a high school freshman.

Arkansas loses a large group of seniors from this year’s team, including do-it-all guards Daryl Macon and Jaylen Barford. However, Anderson and company got good news this offseason as big man Daniel Gafford chose to skip the NBA draft and return to school for another season.

Anderson also has the No. 30 recruiting class for 2018, headlined by 4-star point guard Keyshawn Embery.

The Razorbacks finished 23-12 overall this season and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
