FAYETTEVILLE — Jimmy Whitt's explanation for his transfer was simple.
"I have enjoyed my experience at the University of Arkansas, but I feel like it's time for me to make a change.”
That was the official statement from Whitt to Arkansas basketball fans on March 30, 2016, the day he announced his intent to transfer from former coach Mike Anderson’s program and pursue other opportunities after averaging 6.1 points as a freshman who played in all 32 games.
Three years and two full seasons in uniform at SMU later, his career has come full circle. On May 27, Whitt declared he would return to Fayetteville for his final season as a graduate transfer.
