Arkansas has a couple of things working for it with newly offered athletic junior forward Victor Iwuakor.
Iwuakor, 6-7, 210 pounds of Sulphur Springs, Texas, estimates having 13 other scholarship offers from schools such as Oklahoma, Houston, Texas A&M, Memphis, Tulane, Texas-Arlington and others.
He moved to America from Nigeria about five years ago. His host family is from Arkansas and attended school at Arkansas. They still family members living in the Natural State.
He was thrilled to get the offer from coach Mike Anderson today.
“It’s like one of the best feelings because the people I live with, they’re from there,” Iwuakor said.
