PORTAL TRACKER: Who's Next to Catch Eric Musselman's Eye?
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - Eric Musselman and his staff are just a few days away from a very busy transfer portal season. Arkansas will potentially have at least six new roster additions due to graduation.
The Razorbacks usually try to hide who it is actually after considering the mass amount of contact made with players in the portal. More than 1,800 players entered the transfer portal last season with more movement expected to be made this season. It's likely Musselman's staff will lay low in the weeds again as they identify potential new players for next year.
CLARK SLAJCHERT, Penn
Guard
The Los Angeles native has one year of eligibility remaining. An electric scorer, Slajchert averaged the second-highest point total of any player in the Ivy League with 18 points per contest. The 6-foot-1, 170 pounder has a solid all-around game grabbing three rebounds and three assists per game. He also connected on 42% of his three point attempts as a senior.
Several high majors have reached out to Slajchert so far including Cal, Penn State, SMU, Texas A&M, Clemson and UCLA. Quality mid-major programs like Loyola-Chicago, Florida Atlantic, Vermont and Santa Clara are also after the sharpshooter.
CALEB WILLIAMS, McAlestar College
Shooting Guard
The Division III standout was the first transfer to receive contact from Arkansas' staff in February. At 6-foot-2, the shooting guard from McAlestar College in Minnesota has one year of eligibility remaining. He averaged 20 points an outing and 34% from three. Williams scored 41 points against in-state Big Ten foe Minnesota. The Razorbacks and Washington are the only high-major programs to reach out.
One name to watch moving forward who has yet to be contacted is Pepperdine forward Jevon Porter. The 6-foot-9 sophomore announced he he would be transferring from the Waves' program moments after its season ended and the school parting ways with coach Lorenzo Romar.
Porter averaged 16.2 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game on 42.5 percent shooting from the field.
