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.
