Coming out of Conway a couple of years ago, guard Alexis Tolefree had committed to Ole Miss, but now will be at Arkansas.

Mike Neighbors is landing the highly-touted junior college All-American after she opted out of her signing with Ole Miss following a coaching change.

For Jones County, she averaged 21.3 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2 steals and 2.6 assists this past season. She was 43.1 percent from the field and 36.4 percent behind the 3-point line.

Tolefree was a second-team All-American selection as a sophomore and and first-team All-American last year. She scored a season-high 50 points, including 12 three-pointers in the Region 23 championship victory over Copiah-Lincoln.

 

She recently made an official visit to national runner-up Mississippi State. Tolefree will be a part of the 2018 class and play for the Razorbacks next season.

Little Rock Central small forward Erynn Barnum and combo guard Rokia Doumbia of IMG Academy in Florida are also a part of the 2018 class.

Two transfers, Chelsea Dungee of Oklahoma and A’Tyanna Gaulden of Florida State will be eligible to play for the Razorbacks after sitting out last season.
