Arkansas to host major portal prospect

Throughout the entire off-season, Arkansas was linked with North Dakota State transfer Grant Nelson. Now the smoke clears, as Nelson plans to visit Arkansas on Thursday.

Nelson is pinned by many as a “unicorn,” meaning there are not many like him. The nickname is for good reason too, as Nelson is extremely athletic for his size, and can play in and out. His dunk tape went viral in the middle of last year’s college basketball season, and he’s been a hot commodity since.

Many schools have been interested in Nelson since he entered the portal, but after he pulled his name out of the NBA Draft, the interest grew.
