Mawein granted release from NLI

Junior college forward Akol Mawein, who signed with Arkansas for the 2021 class, has been given a release from his national letter of intent and will play his college basketball elsewhere.

Razorbacks associate head coach David Patrick had a long-term relationship with Mawein and was his lead recruiter.

With the departure of Mawein, Arkansas has two scholarship spots open.

Mawein, 6-10, 220 pounds, of Navarro College in Corsicana, Texas, averaged 12.2 points, 5.2 rebounds and an assist per game last season while shooting 48.1% from the floor, 31.3% beyond the three-point line and 70.2% at the free throw line.
