Neighbors’ five-year effort gets job done

FAYETTEVILLE -- Persistence paid off for University of Arkansas women's basketball Coach Mike Neighbors.

He finally landed Destiny Slocum.

The two-time All-Pac-12 guard signed with Arkansas earlier this week as a graduate transfer after playing the past two seasons at Oregon State.

Slocum played the point for the Beavers, averaging 15.2 points, 4.6 assists and 3.2 rebounds in two seasons.

She joins a roster with plenty of returning talent, despite the loss of two to graduation and two more to the transfer portal, Neighbors said.

"She allows us to absorb the loss of graduation of Kiara [Williams] and Alexis [Tolefree]," Neighbors said.
