He’s back! Makhi Mitchell officially announces return to Arkansas

Eric Musselman’s roster for next season continues to take shape after a big piece from last season’s team announces his return.

[autotag]Eric Musselman[/autotag]’s roster for next season is continuing to take shape as he’s received another firm commitment.

Center [autotag]Makhi Mitchell[/autotag] officially announced that he would be returning to the Razorbacks next season. He posted his announcement on Instagram with the caption “I’m back” and “Hog nation….Let’s run it back #WPS.”

Mitchell’s decision to return may come as a surprise after his twin brother, Makhel, opted to enter the transfer portal back in early April. The two brothers had previously followed each to Maryland, Rhode Island and then Fayetteville.

Last season, Makhi was able to crack into the main rotation early on and become a reliable force down low for the Razorbacks. He appeared in all 36 games, averaging 7.0 PTS, 5.3 REB, 1.1 AST, 1.4 BLK and 66.2% FG in 20.1 minutes of action.

Mitchell’s return is huge for a team that was lacking depth and a true traditional big on the roster as things stood. He will join [autotag]Trevon Brazile[/autotag], [autotag]Jalen Graham[/autotag] and incoming freshman [autotag]Baye Fall[/autotag] in the Razorback frontcourt next season.
