Arkansas forward Trevon Brazile announced in late March that he will return to school for another season after an injury-shortened sophomore campaign.
Brazile appeared in nine games because of an ACL injury on Dec. 6 versus UNC Greensboro. He averaged 11.8 points, six rebounds, 1.2 blocks, one assist and one steal on 37.9% shooting from 3-point range before the injury.
He had three 20-point games and two double-doubles.
The 6-foot-10 forward was viewed as a potential first-round pick in the NBA draft entering the season given his overall ability and 7-foot, 4-inch wingspan. However, Brazile will return to Fayetteville for at least one more season after having his year cut short.
Arkansas coach Eric Musselman is happy to have him back.

After losing Nick Smith Jr. to the NBA draft, the Razorbacks will get a key piece back with the return of Brazile. Musselman previously said they built their team around him and they will look to make another deep run in the NCAA Tournament with him in the fold.
