Arkansas receives crystal ball for another Power 5 hoops transfer

Eric Musselman and Arkansas are busy, busy, busy within the switch portal proper now. The Razorbacks have already added commitments from 4 gamers out of the portal: Washington’s Keyon Menifield, Houston’s Tramon Mark, Temple’s Khalif Battle and Cincinnati’s Jeremiah Davenport.

Acquired room for yet one more? 247Sports’ Travis Branham made a prediction for former Louisville guard El Ellis to affix an already uber-impressive group of transfers at Arkansas on Sunday.

Ellis declared for the NBA Draft on the finish of final season following maybe the worst season in program historical past. He was the one vibrant spot on the workforce although, averaging 17.7 factors, 4.4 assists and a pair of.7 rebounds per sport in 2022-23.

Clearly this transfer shouldn’t be official, extra like “trending in that route.” Crystal balls by trade leaders are often pretty dependable, however that is nearly an unbelievable growth.

Including 5 transfers shouldn’t be unfounded in school basketball at this time – particularly when contemplating how a lot manufacturing Arkansas will lose – however all 4 the Razorbacks have added up to now are guards or have expertise at guard, although Davenport is primarily a 3 or 4. El Ellis, however, is a real level guard.

Spectacular is the primary phrase that involves thoughts. Ought to Ellis really land in Fayetteville, there’s no telling the hype for Arkansas heading into subsequent season.
