What having Keyon Menifield means for Arkansas
Arkansas guard Keyon Menifield is immediately eligible and brings a certain skillset the Razorbacks could use.
Arkansas basketball sophomore guard Keyon Menifield was granted a waiver from the NCAA and is immediately eligible, the UA announced Friday.
The transfer from Washington averaged 10.0 points, 2.9 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game as a true freshman for the Huskies last season.
This news comes just two days after Razorback head coach Eric Musselman talked about the need for ball movement and pace on offense. Initially labeled as a "non-scholarship redshirt" for the upcoming season, Menifield has been a part of team practices since arriving on campus. He should be as familiar with the system as any first-year transfer on this roster at this point, and has a skillset that has been missing from the Arkansas roster.
“It has been a long process that we had to work through, but we are excited for Keyon and are proud of how he handled the process,” said head coach Eric Musselman. “Our staff and administration have worked hard to get this done and we appreciate their hard work. Keyon is an explosive point guard with great play-making ability.”
