Hours after Arkansas freshman guard Nick Smith Jr. announced he was declaring for the 2023 NBA Draft, the Razorbacks received some good news regarding next season. Forward [autotag]Trevon Brazile[/autotag] announced that he would be returning to Fayetteville next year via his personal Twitter account.

Brazile transferred to the Razorbacks from Missouri ahead of last season and immediately made an impact, becoming a focal point of the team early on in the 2022-23 season. Unfortunately, just as things started to click for Brazile and the Razorbacks, he tore his ACL on Dec. 6 and would miss the remainder of the season.
He appeared in nine games before his injury where he averaged 11.8 PPG, 6.0 RPG, 1.0 SPG, 1.2 BPG and shot 37.9% from three while playing 27 minutes a night. Despite missing all but nine games on the year, Brazile still finished as the team’s fourth leading scorer and leading rebounder as far as season averages go.
Having Brazile return is the first big domino to fall for [autotag]Eric Musselman[/autotag] when it comes to next season’s roster. [autotag]Anthony Black[/autotag] will more than likely announce his intentions to go pro in the next day or so and we still await decisions from [autotag]Jordan Walsh[/autotag] and [autotag]Devo Davis[/autotag] among others.
One thing that is most exciting about Brazile returning is the fact that we can expect to see more of this next season:
