Rapper and mogul Snoop Dogg was in Fayetteville this week, and Arkansas Razorbacks basketball coach Eric Musselman wasted no time reaching out to the icon.
Musselman joked he was recruiting the 50-year-old Snoop Dogg to get on the “Muss Bus” for the Razorbacks. Ever the active one, Snoop dropped by to see Musselman in person.

Snoop Dogg, who is a UCLA fan having grown up in Los Angeles, told Musselman the 1995 NCAA championship between the Bruins and Arkansas was one of his favorite games of all time.
Musselman, who uses social media about as well as any coach in any sport in the country, had met another rapper, Waka Flocka last week in Fayetteville. Musselman said the 6-foot-4 hip-hop artist could help the Hogs with rebounding.
Snoop Dogg was in northwest Arkansas attending a show at JJ’s Live.
