Jones, Durham overjoyed by Powell's pledge to Arkansas

A current Arkansas Razorback and a former Hog were thrilled when highly touted junior forward Duncan Powell committed to coach Eric Musselman.

Powell 6-7, 225 pounds, is the third DeSoto, Texas, prospect to decide to be a Razorback. Arkansas junior guard Mason Jones and former point guard Jabril Durham are also proud DeSoto alums.

Durham, who’s playing professionally for the PVSK Panthers in Hungary, remembers Powell coming to the DeSoto gym as a youngster.

“Another DeSoto Eagle headed to the Hill. Happy for him,” Durham said. “Duncan was a young guy coming to the gym always wanting to play with the older guys when he was in the eighth and ninth grade.
