Hiring of Mussleman attracts prospect's attention

University of Arkansas Coach Eric Musselman and staff are expected to host forward Che Evans Jr. for an official visit on June 8-9.

Evans, 6-6, 207 pounds, originally had announced a top six of Ohio State, TCU, UCLA, Texas Tech, Boise State and Florida. A lot has happened since then, with Musselman being hired at Arkansas and another coaching getting let go.

"My original final six included UCLA before Coach [Steve] Alford was let go," Evans said. "When I heard Coach Musselman had taken the Arkansas job, I asked my AAU coach to reach out and see if I was on their radar.
