Junior center Brandon Garrison was thrilled Wednesday after receiving a scholarship from Arkansas coach Eric Musselman.
“He said he really wanted me to come to Arkansas and play for him,” Gibson said. “It meant a lot. I was...shocked and happy — all smiles.”
Garrison, 6-9, 225 pounds, of Del City, Okla., has offers from Oklahoma, Kansas, Oklahoma State, Texas A&M, Houston, Texas Tech, SMU and others.
Garrison visited Fayetteville on Dec. 4 for the Razorbacks' game against Arkansas-Little Rock.
He exchanges text messages with recruiting coordinator Ronnie Brewer and also speaks to Musselman on a regular basis.
