Ford arrived in Fayetteville last season as part of the No. 2 recruiting class in the country. He was a two-time 4A Arkansas Player of the Year in high school and led Magnolia High School to three state titles.
In his lone season with the Razorbacks, Ford never got the opportunity to showcase his talent, as he struggled to crack into a very crowded backcourt rotation. He played in 21 games and recorded 15 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists and 80 minutes of playing time total last season.
With Ford’s departure, [autotag]Joseph Pinion[/autotag] is the only player from last season’s historic recruiting class remaining on the roster. The Razorbacks now have a full allotment of scholarships, but two roster spots could open up once [autotag]Devo Davis[/autotag] and [autotag]Jordan Walsh[/autotag] announce their intentions to stay in the NBA Draft process.
