Wake Forest adds Grad Transfer Austin Arians for 2016

Wake Forest hosted former Milwaukee small forward Austin Arians last weekend, and it paid off, as he committed to head coach and Danny Manning for his final year of college basketball.

Arians will be available immediately, and will be a strong competitor for the starting spot at the three, while freshmen Richard Washington and Donovan Mitchell adjust to college.

The news was first reported by Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports:

Milwaukee transfer Austin Arians has committed to Wake Forest, source told @CBSSports. Immediately eligible.

Arians picked Wake Forest over Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Utah.
