University of Arkansas forward signee Jeantal Cylla's faith in Coach Eric Musselman's track record with graduate transfers along with his relationship with assistant coach Scotty Thurman and Anthony Ruta led him to sign with the Hogs on Saturday.
Cylla, 6-7, 215 pounds, averaged 13.7 points and 4.6 rebounds while shooting 42 percent from the field and 31 percent on three-pointers last season as a junior at North Carolina-Wilmington before entering the NCAA transfer portal in late March. He'll be immediately eligible to play for the 2019-20 season.
He was fond of his time at UNC-Wilmington, but he wanted the best option to fulfill his dream of playing in the NBA, and that's where the Razorbacks come in.
