Arkansas Basketball Sign Forward Bryant, Lose Moore

Dave Telep from Scout.com is reporting that Oak Hill forward Glenn Bryant has signed scholarship papers with the Razorbacks. Bryant told Telep "I feel like I fit in good with them. It's pressing, me being part of the press and being in up tempo and getting out on the fast break."

Bryant is listed as 6-foot-6, 190 pounds according to the recruiting site. He is rated as a three-star athlete on a five-star scale and chose Arkansas over Alabama-Birmingham and South Florida who were also recruiting him.

Bryant is the fifth player to sign with the Razorbacks in this class, which includes point guard Julysses Nobles, who signed with the Razorbacks earlier this month. Bryant's is also the 14th  scholarship athlete to sign with Arkansas. Only 13 are allowed by the NCAA. One scholarship will have to be freed up one way or another and we now know how.

It was just announced about an hour ago that 6-foot-9, 215-pound sophomore forward Brandon Moore is transferring. It is not known where he is headed from Arkansas.

“We appreciate all of Brandon’s efforts and contributions to the Razorback program,” Pelphrey said in a statement released through the university. “We wish him nothing but the best.”

Moore averaged 1.9 points and 1.6 rebounds in 9.1 minutes per game as a freshman last season. He played in 25 games, but never started and saw limited playing time even though the team was particularly thin on in the inside.

In addition, Moore was suspended for two games following his Jan. 19 arrest for driving while intoxicated and other traffic-related charges. He later received a 90-day suspended jail sentence and was ordered to take a defensive driving class as part of his sentence.
