[Jason Carroll]

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Former Razorback great Scotty Thurman will join the Razorback Sports Network as a color analyst on University of Arkansas men's basketball games beginning this season. Thurman will work alongside Voice of the Razorbacks Chuck Barrett who will handle play-by-play duties for a fifth consecutive season. In addition to his broadcasting responsibilities, Thurman will continue to serve as a full-time member of Arkansas Athletics working with the Student-Athlete Development program. Thurman has been the Director of Student-Athlete Development for the men's basketball program for the past four years.


"We are excited that one of our program's most beloved and respected former student-athletes will now be a part of our men's basketball broadcast team," Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Jeff Long said. "Scotty is not only a Razorback basketball legend, he has been an outstanding representative of our program and has made a positive impact on the lives of our basketball student-athletes. I am confident that Razorback fans will enjoy what Scotty brings to our broadcasts based on his experiences as a player for Hall of Fame Coach Nolan Richardson. Scotty knows the game and will provide Razorback fans a player's perspective on basketball and an informed insight into our program."
