Arkansas lands SMU grad transfer Jimmy Whitt

By ADAM ZAGORIA

New Arkansas coach Eric Musselman continued to build his team with the addition Monday of SMU grad transfer Jimmy Whitt.

The 6-foot-3 guard averaged 12.3 points, 6.4 rebounds and 4.0 assists last season and will bring an experienced presence and versatile player to the Razorbacks.

Whitt began his career with Arkansas during the 2015-16 season under Mike Anderson. This time around, he chose Arkansas over Gonzaga, Oregon, Texas A&M and others.

Musselman has now added five transfers, including three grad transfers.
