Neighbors describes Wolfenbarger exit to NWA club on Wednesday

Mike Neighbors was scheduled to be at the Hawgs Illustrated Sports Club as the featured speaker on Wednesday.

He addressed the elephant in the room, which was the departure of Jersey Wolfenbarger from his program, that had made news the day prior.

"Jersey is good. It was very amicable. She’s going to be a great player for somebody someplace. It just didn’t work out here.”

Wolfenbarger, a former 5-star recruit and McDonald’s All-American out of Northside High School in Fort Smith, cannot actually enter the transfer portal until it reopens in March.

She actually removed her name from the portal once she found out she cannot have contact with a team or transfer anywhere until then.

Basically, she’s going to sit out a year while she awaits to see which school she will attend next.

The ladies’ regular season begins next Tuesday, Nov. 7 against Louisiana-Monroe in Bud Walton Arena.
