Former Arkansas prep star Austin Reaves granted release from Wichita State

FAYETTEVILLE — Former Arkansas prep basketball star Austin Reaves is transferring from Wichita State and has sent release letters to several college basketball programs, including Arkansas.

Reaves (6-5, 175 pounds), who played for Clay County Central in Newark, has played two seasons for the Shockers.

“We've had players choose to go somewhere else, but Austin was a little bit of a surprise," Wichita State athletic director Darron Boatright told the Wichita Eagle newspaper. "The rest of them are not. They're hunting minutes and they want to play now and compete and they don't see that happening.
