FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas coach Mike Anderson has won his biggest recruiting battles each of the last two years, and neither dealt with incoming freshmen.
Guards Daryl Macon and Jaylen Barford announced their intentions to return to Arkansas for another year last spring after a grueling NCAA Tournament loss Freshman forward Daniel Gafford did the same Monday.
“The NBA might be in my future, but Fayetteville, Arkansas, is where it’s at," Gafford said in a video statement. "I’ll be back for another year playing in Bud Walton for you guys."
Gafford coming back for his sophomore season gives Arkansas an anchor around the rim and a tremendous shot-blocking presence.
