Report: Former Arkansas Guard Davonte Davis to Visit Oklahoma State

Steve Lutz will reportedly host a sought-after transfer with the hopes that this time he lands in Stillwater.

Former Arkansas guard Davonte Davis will be visiting Oklahoma State this week, according to college hoops insider Jon Rothstein.

Arkansas transfer Davonte Davis tells me that he just finished a visit to Grand Canyon and is next heading to Florida Atlantic.
Davis will also visit Oklahoma State sometime this week.

Davis was a key piece in a Razorback team that made it to the Elite Eight two years ago, averaging a career-high 10.9 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 33.1 minutes per game that season. His minutes dropped slightly last season (27.4), and he averaged 5.9 points and 3.4 rebounds. Over four years with the Hogs, Davis started 85 games, and averaged 8.5 points and four rebounds.

As a high schooler, Davis was a four-star prospect and a top-100 talent the last time OSU came calling. He visited Stillwater on an unofficial basis back in June of 2018, the summer before Mike Boynton’s second season, and then committed to the Cowboys that December. But Davis was lured away by his in-state team and decommitted in October of 2019 before pledging to Arkansas.

As of writing, Lutz has eight scholarships available for this upcoming season. Two transfer portal prospects (Kevin Overton from Drake and Brendan Wenzel from Wyoming) included OSU in their top groups last week.

6th Annual Be a Part of the Cure Walk Supports Cancer Research in Arkansas

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KATV) — A major event aimed at raising awareness and funding cancer research in Arkansas is coming up this weekend.

The 6th Annual Be a Part of the Cure Walk benefits the UAMS Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute, helping fund cancer research, clinical trials, and long-term survival studies, with every dollar raised staying in Arkansas.

Joining us this morning are Elizabeth Birrer, co-chair of the walk, and Lesley Murphy, this year’s emcee.

Murphy, a professional travel journalist, has shared her own cancer prevention journey after undergoing a preventative double mastectomy at UAMS when genetic testing revealed she carried the BRCA2 gene. She now uses her experience to help educate and raise awareness about cancer prevention.

The walk is designed to bring the community together, survivors, families, and supporters, while highlighting the importance of research and patient care. Participants can expect a day of walking, activities, and opportunities to learn more about the institute’s ongoing work.

Online registration is available at here and closes at 6:30 p.m. Friday, May 1st. In-person registration opens at 6:30 a.m. Saturday, May 2nd at War Memorial Stadium, Gate 1.

Every dollar raised during the event directly supports research and clinical studies here in Arkansas, helping to advance treatment and improve outcomes for patients across the state.

The 6th Annual Be a Part of the Cure Walk is a community effort that combines awareness, education, and support, all focused on the fight against cancer.
