Arkansas’ basketball program has made contact with one of the nation’s most versatile transfers.
Rice star Trey Murphy III (6-8, 200), who averaged 13.7 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.2 assists last season for the Owls (15-17), entered his name in the transfer portal on Saturday and was immediately contacted by the Razorbacks.
Arkansas is coming off a 20-12 season in coach Eric Musselman’s first year.
“Yes, they have,” Murphy confirmed via Twitter direct message Sunday afternoon. “Seems like a great place and he is a good coach I would say.”
He was in Fayetteville to start the season and scored seven points in the Razorbacks’ 91-43 season-opening rout of the Owls.
