The 17-under Arkansas Hawks were one of the best spring and summer teams in the nation last year, and they figure to be even better with the addition of junior forward D.J. Weaver.
An ESPN four-star prospect, Weaver, 6-8, 194 pounds, helped Houston Cypress Falls win the Class 6A state title this season.
His mother, Angela Williams, who was a sprinter for Trinidad in the 1984 and 1988 Olympics, is the head women's track coach at Prairie View A&M.
Weaver explained his reasoning for joining the Hawks.
"We wanted to get out of Houston for a bit to see something totally different, and we also have a lot of support outside of Houston and Arkansas," Weaver said.
