Eric Musselman Lands Tramon Mark from Houston

Guard who seems to fit Razorbacks' style after starting for 33-4 Coogs last season.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Arkansas coach Eric Musselman is stockpiling guards.

Apparently the Razorbacks picked up a big commitment from Houston guard Tramon Mark, who is also going through the NBA Draft process, but is expected to stay for at least another year.

The 6-5, 195-pound wing guard from Dickinson, Texas (we'll save you the trouble of looking that up, it's a town I-45 runs smack through going from Houston to Galveston), started every game for Kelvin Sampson's team that was a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament last year.

Mark averaged 10.1 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in 2022-23 while shooting 39% from the field, 32.8% beyond the three-point line and 78.4% at the free throw line as a redshirt sophomore.

The No. 5 player in the CBS Sports transfer portal rankings chose Musselman and the Hogs over Florida, Kansas State and Texas A&M.

He is the second commitment this week after Washington guard Kenyon Menifield committed last Tuesday.

With now three of the highly-ranked freshman class coming back (Derrian Ford, Barry Dunning and Joseph Pinion), it's clear Musselman is recruiting current players.

Nick Smith Jr., and Ricky Council IV are declared firmly for the NBA Draft while Davonte Davis is dipping his toe in the water to check the feedback he gets, but could return.

There has been absolutely no word from freshman point guard Anthony Black (although he was in attendance at the softball game Saturday) and that was even put on social media from Eric Musselman.

No guesses there or on freshman forward Jordan Walsh, who has been all over the place with his social media and interviews after the Hogs were eliminated by eventual national champion UConn in the Sweet 16.

It's a full-time job just keeping up all of it and the easiest way to keep up is our Hog Feed Basketball blog that's updated several times daily.
