Hogs land commitment from power forward

Scotty Thurman has spent a lot of time in Las Vegas, but he wasn’t gambling.

He hit on a winner Friday night anyway.

Power forward Reggie Chaney of Findlay Prep, located in Henderson, Nevada, just south of Las Vegas, committed to the Hogs privately Friday night and made it public Saturday, according to Richard Davenport at WholeHogSports.com.

Chaney, 6-8, 230 pounds, chose Arkansas over Texas A&M, TCU, Oklahoma State and Wichita State.

“It just felt right,” he told WholeHogSports.com.

As a junior, he averaged 11.2 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.6 steals and a block a game for the 33-4 Pilots. He and fellow commitment, guard Jordan Phillips, officially visited Fayetteville Sept. 15.

He becomes Arkansas’ sixth commitment for the 2018 class.

Oral commitments are non-binding.
