Arkansas adds 7-footer Paulo Semedo for size, rim protection upside
Paulo Semedo is a 7-1, 225-pound Class of 2025 center who has committed to Arkansas after playing at West Oaks Academy in Orlando, giving the Razorbacks a true size piece with immediate interior upside.[1] He matters because his frame and length project well for shot blocking, rebounding, and finishing around the rim, which can be hard to find in a young big.[1] The public information here is limited, so the clearest takeaway is that Arkansas is betting on a development project with pro-style measurables rather than a polished, stat-heavy current producer.[1][2]
