Hogs make cut for another 4-star WR
The University of Arkansas has announced the dismissal of senior forward Dustin Thomas from the basketball team.
“Senior forward Dustin Thomas has been dismissed from the team effective immediately for a violation of team rules," Arkansas coach Mike Anderson stated in a release. "It is a privilege to represent the University of Arkansas as a student-athlete. We will continue to hold the student-athletes in our program to a high standard on and off the court.”
Thomas was involved in a counterfeiting ordeal prior to last season, along with senior guard Anton Beard and Jacorey Williams who was dismissed at the time. Twice during the 2017-18 season, Thomas did not play due to a 'coaches decision,' despite being a starter in 17 games this season. He was also suspended to start the season.
Thomas' suspension comes at a critical time for the Razorbacks as the Hogs are set to play in the second round of the SEC Tournament on Thursday at 1 p.m. in St. Louis. Thomas originally joined the team from Colorado.
