First of many? Former Washington guard Keyon Menifield commits to Arkansas

Menifield averaged 10 points a game as a freshman last year with the Huskies. He fills a distinct need for Arkansas.

Things move quickly in the transfer portal sometimes. That translates to things moving quickly in each sport, too.

Arkansas basketball had quite the day, accordingly. Hours after junior guard Ricky Council declared for the NBA Draft, Hogs coach Eric Musselman had replaced him on the roster, ostensibly.

Former Washington guard Keyon Menifield committed to Arkansas via the transfer portal, On3 reported Tuesday afternoon. The Razorbacks beat Alabama, Louisville, Tennessee, Ohio State and, well, Menifield also considered staying put in Seattle.

Menifield, a 6-foot-1 point guard, played just one season with Huskies out of Flint, Michigan. He averaged 10 points a game and started 21 games. Washington went 16-16 overall and 8-12 in the Pac-12.

Menifield is unlikely to be the last player to commit to Arkansas out of the portal. Other than Council, the Hogs are also expected to lose Nick Smith Jr., who already declared for the draft, and could also lose guards Anthony Black and Devo Davis (who has also declared) and a number of players from the frontcourt.
