FAYETTEVILLE — University of Arkansas forward Jaylin Williams didn’t travel with the team to South Carolina for an undisclosed reason, but the freshman from Fort Smith stayed in contact with the coaching staff throughout the Razorbacks’ 101-73 victory Tuesday night.
“He was texting with several staff members, graduate assistants,” Arkansas Coach Eric Musselman said. “Obviously we didn’t know until we grabbed our phones, which for me sometimes doesn’t occur until after our [postgame] media session.
“But some of the guys — after I addressed the team and was heading back to the coaches’ locker room — had grabbed their phones and looked at it, and Jaylin was texting his thoughts on things that were occurring during the game, which I thought was really, really cool.
