According to 247 Sports’ Evan Daniels, Arkansas is close to hiring Nevada’s Eric Musselman as their head basketball coach.
This would be another big-time coaching hire by Kentucky’s SEC foes. Musselman has been at Nevada for four seasons, leading the Wolfpack to three straight NCAA Tournament appearances, including a Sweet Sixteen in 2018.
Musselman’s record with Nevada was an impressive 110-34, including 28 or more wins in each of the last three seasons. During his time in Reno, he brought in a barrage of talent, including NC State transfers Caleb and Cody Martin and five-star center Jordan Brown.
