FAYETTEVILLE — The first thing Arkansas basketball fans likely learned about Vance Jackson this spring is that he can be a sharpshooter at 6-9.
Over three seasons at Connecticut and New Mexico, the California native knocked down 157 3-pointers and connected from deep at a 35.4 percent clip, including 39.7 percent at UConn as a freshman. His versatility was appealing to Razorbacks coach Eric Musselman and his staff as they scanned the transfer market this offseason.
And it didn’t take long for Jackson to make an impression on his teammates. In the first couple of weeks of unofficial team workouts, he put on a show from the perimeter.
