Arkansas transfer Trevon Brazile committed to Indiana Hoosiers men’s basketball he announced on….
Former Arkansas forward Trevon Brazile is withdrawing from the 2024 NBA Draft, Field of 68 reported Monday.
The 6-foot-10 junior had entered the transfer portal May 1. He participated in the NBA draft combine earlier this month in Chicago and averaged four points, 1.5 rebounds and one assist in two scrimmage games.
Listed in some projections as a second-round selection, Brazile reportedly was told by NBA team executives that he should stay in college and play at least one more season.
Brazile started 23 of 26 games last season for Arkansas, averaging 8.6 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.2 blocks. He also missed seven games due to knee soreness.
He had played in only nine games in the 2022-23 campaign when he sustained a season-ending torn ACL. He was averaging 11.8 points and 6.0 rebounds per game.
The Missouri native had transferred to Arkansas from Missouri, where as a freshman he averaged 6.6 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.9 blocks.
Arkansas transfer Trevon Brazile committed to Indiana men’s basketball he announced on X, formally known as Twitter. Goode is the Hoosiers’ fourth transfer pickup this offseason.
Goode is a Fort Wayne, Indiana, native, and was a 3-star prospect but did not receive an offer from IU out of Homestead High School. In three seasons with the Fighting Illini, Goode averaged 4.1 points and 2.6 rebounds per game.
Goode is a sharpshooting 6-foot-7 forward — a need on Indiana’s roster. He shot 38.8% from 3-point range during his time at Illinois, and 219 of his 265 career shot attempts have come from beyond the arc.
Goode faced the Hoosiers four times with Illinois. In two contests against them his freshman year, he played a combined 10 minutes and scored just 3 points. The last two seasons, he averaged 9 points and 2.5 rebounds with four total 3-pointers.
Goode entered the transfer portal April 22 and received a crystal ball prediction to Indiana from On3’s Jamie Shaw, who made the prediction within an hour of Goode’s announcement.
Trevon Brazile, a 6’10 forward who spent the past two seasons at Arkansas, removed his name from the 2024 NBA draft process over the weekend. The redshirt junior will now navigate the transfer portal to look for his new home as he prepares to return to college basketball and boost his draft stock.
Brazile began his career at Missouri in 2021-22, averaging 6.6 points and 5.1 rebounds in 21.5 minutes per game. He transferred to Arkansas and looked like a breakout star in nine games – averaging 11.8 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks while shooting 37.9% from three – but an ACL tear cost him the rest of the season and limited him at the start of last year as well.
Brazile did return for the Hogs and appeared in 26 games in 2023-24, but he never quite looked the same – averaging 8.6 points and shooting 35.3% from three. Another year removed from the surgery could allow Brazile’s elite athleticism and shot-making ability to really shine, and if he finds the right landing spot to showcase his skills it could rocket him up draft boards in 2025.
Here is a look at five schools – including a return to Fayetteville – that make sense for Brazile in the 2024-25 season.
Coach John Calipari has rebuilt Arkansas after losing every single scholarship player following Eric Musselman’s departure to USC. Calipari has added eight new players – six who were either with him at Kentucky last year or who were committed to Kentucky as incoming freshmen – as well as FAU transfer guard Johnell Davis and Tennessee big man Jonas Aidoo.
But getting Brazile back in a Hogs uniform should be a big time priority for Cal, as he not only gives the fans a familiar face but he is a great fit at the power forward spot alongside Aidoo in the frontcourt. Calipari is slowly moving toward a more spaced out, three point style offense, and Brazile’s athleticism, strong outside shooting, and veteran experience will pair well with Aidoo and rising sophomore Zvonimir Ivisic in Fayetteville.
