Two former Hogs headed to Little Rock to play basketball

Makhel Mitchell and KK Robinson both played at Arkansas, though not together. Now both will play at Little Rock.

Khalen Robinson and Makhel Mitchell haven’t played together yet. Yet.

The two former Arkansas basketball players are both transferring to Little Rock to play next season for the Trojans. Mitchell just finished his first and only year with the Razorbacks in 2022-23, while Robinson spent the two years before that at Arkansas.

Mitchell, a 6-foot-10 center, averaged 3.6 points and 3.2 rebounds in about 13 minutes a game last year. He played nearly the entire season as Arkansas’ back-up center, but looked more than capable when called on.

Robinson, who goes by KK, went to Texas A&M after his two seasons with the Razorbacks. He played in just 18 games, most all of which came in mop-up duty. For his three-year college career, he’s played in just 42 games and averaged six minutes per.

Little Rock went 10-21 overall and 6-12 in the Ohio Valley Conference last year.
