Karim Rtail brings pro-level size and versatility, but back injury clouds his Razorback debut
Karim Rtail is a 6-foot-7 to 6-foot-9 international forward from Lebanon who arrives at Arkansas with pro experience in Lithuania and a reputation as a versatile, multi-position piece who can play 1-through-4. In the 2024-25 season in Lithuania, he averaged 8.3 points and 4.5 rebounds while shooting 42.6% from the field and 31.4% from three; reports also say a back injury delayed his Arkansas start and could keep him out into January. If you want size, skill, and upside in one package, he’s interesting — if you need instant availability, the timeline matters.
