FAYETTEVILLE -- Jimmy Dykes signed nearly as many players for his second season as Arkansas women's basketball coach as the team had on its roster a year ago.
The Razorbacks have added eight newcomers after getting by nine players last season, when they still made the NCAA Tournament and went 1-1 with a victory over Northwestern before losing to Baylor.
Arkansas opens this season with 12 players, including four returnees with senior forward Melissa Wolff, junior forwards Jessica Jackson and Khadijah West and junior guard Kelsey Brooks.
Jackson, Brooks and Wolff started for last season's 18-14 team.
