Arkansas basketball was searching for a jolt of adrenaline heading out of final exams and into January.
It appears they may have found it in Friday afternoon’s news dump.

[autotag]Keyon Menifield Jr.[/autotag] was not on scholarship and was not counting against the roster currently.
The Washington transfer came to Arkansas after being on the Pac-12 All-Freshman team last season with the Huskies. He has been with the Razorback program since the summer.
“It has been a long process that we had to work through, but we are excited for Keyon and are proud of how he handled the process,” Arkansas coach [autotag]Eric Musselman[/autotag] said. “Our staff and administration have worked hard to get this done and we appreciate their hard work. Keyon is an explosive point guard with great play-making ability.”
He will make his first appearance tomorrow at 5 p.m. in North Little Rock as the Razorbacks take on Lipscomb.
