With the departure of all but one scholarship player from last year's roster, the Arkansas basketball team is full of new faces and now new numbers.
The Razorback men's basketball team released those numbers late this week. Despite returning forward Trevon Brazile from last year's team, 13 of the 14 players listed on the Razorback basketball roster will receive new numbers, with walk-on Lawson Blake being the only member keeping his the same.
Arkansas added six players through the transfer portal, five from the high school ranks, and returned Blake and Brazile. Of note, recent commit Casmir Chavis was not listed on the official graphic from the social media team.

There are no unique numbers this season as listed, as each jersey has previously been worn in Razorback history according to HogStats.com. Interestingly enough, though, no one is sporting No. 10, which has been associated by Razorback fans as typically going to a top in-state performer. Notable recent players who wore No. 10 are Jaylin Williams, Daniel Gafford, and Bobby Portis, though most recently McDonald's All American Baye Fall wore it last season.
Here's a look at the jersey numbers for newcomers, as the returners all have the same number from last year.
