Former Arkansas forward Reggie Chaney was granted a waiver by the NCAA and will be immediately eligible at Houston.
Chaney, who played two seasons for the Razorbacks, entered the NCAA’s transfer portal in mid-June and committed to head coach Kelvin Sampson and the Cougars one week later. He will have two seasons of eligibility at Houston.
“Of all the kids we looked at, Reggie’s the one that fit us the best,” Sampson told reporters Thursday. “I’m happy for us obviously, but I’m more happy for Reggie. … Now he knows there can be a little more purpose behind his work because he knows he’s no different than his teammates now.
