He scored a season-high 15 points and pulled down eight boards in Missouri's season finale at the SEC Tournament against LSU. Most of Brazile's best games from a scoring standpoint came against the best competition as his other double-digit scoring nights came again against LSU and also in non-conference matchups against Kansas and Illinois. He made big improvements as the season went on as he averaged 12.0 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game over the final five games of the season.

Brazile has grown at least two inches, significantly filled out his frame and improved his perimeter jumper since then, which leads many to believe the long, athletic forward has the mobility, rim-protecting capabilities and offensive potential to develop into a legitimate NBA prospect. He will have three years of eligibility remaining.


Muss on Brazile before our matchup in COMO:

Eric Musselman and Arkansas are hot. Just two days after landing five-star point guard Anthony Black, Musselman and the Hogs have landed one of the most talented transfers on the market in Missouri forward Trevon Brazile.

The 6-foot-9 freshman was in Fayetteville for an unofficial visit with Musselman and his staff Wednesday and felt good enough to commit on the spot.

“I’m pretty excited," Brazile told 247Sports. "I just went for an unofficial visit and had a great visit and decided that's what's best for me.

“I think what stood out was their attention to detail and how they prepare . Really I just noticed how deep into detail they went and I could feel the competitive spirit they had and that they they want to win.”

One of the most intriguing talents in the SEC, Brazile is a long and agile shot blocker who can finish lobs and step out and knock down some jump shots. The 6.6 points and 5.1 rebounds per game he averaged during his lone season at Missouri are just a hint at what is to come from him down the road.

"They think I’m a perfect fit for them," said Brazile. They like to run up and down and I like to run up and down. They’ve got two big guards and I'm a good fit with them."

Having played against the Razorbacks, Brazile has first hand experience of how run their system and what they've got coming back. He was also very intrigued by the recruiting class that has been put together and sees a real contender being built in Fayeteville

"It was a big factor," said Brazile of the ability to win right away and the incoming recruiting class. "Bringing in three McDonald's All-Americans was a big deal. Being able to play with talented guys with a high IQ will help me a lot.

Mostly unknown just a few years ago, Brazile always had confidence in himself but never imagined things happening like this. He's looking forward to getting to campus and showing what he can do.

“I didn’t think things would happen like they did," said Brazile. "I thought I could play at this level bit I didn't it would be playing this well so quick.

"What I’m bringing to the table is being an elite rim protection, I’m going to run the floor hard every time and I’m going to make plays."

It is disappointing that Vanover ended up being a dud. It would have helped Jaylin quite a bit against Duke in the paint. Jaylin held his own but the bigs for Duke were too much by himself.

I believe that after the Duke loss, he understood that he needed not just more depth but a couple of more bigs that could challenge other bigs from other opponents. Not doing so leaves other players free to do damage. Arkansas didn't face that problem until Duke and a coach learns more from a loss than a win.

The biggest disappointment with Vanover is that he couldn’t hit the three. Without that his value falls off a cliff.

Mark Williams looked like he was playing against toddlers against us. Not just because he's 7ft, but also because he's long and can jump. Brazile is the same way, but just not as big, although he may still be growing and might have more long term potential. I was wanting him when we played Missouri, so I'm thrilled right now.

Can someone refresh my mind on Kel’el Ware and how he ended up signing with Oregon?

Supposedly wanted to go out of state. Was kind of considering Arkansas, though, till he visited Oregon. Then it was all Ducks.

One has to believe he got a pretty big commitment from Nike.

Arkansas got away with a guard heavy team against the SEC because they didn't face any bigs as good as Duke had. Tony and Umude bullied taller players before But when faced with athletic bigs and other players that are scoring threats makes it a long game. Vermont, NMST and yes even Gonzaga had only a couple of players that Arkansas was concerned with. But with Duke, you are concerned with all five and the longer bench.

Don't tease me on Aimaq news...

BTW,Curtis on 247,just said that both Aimaq and Brazille each reached out to him earlier this week. Which is never a bad sign.

Exactly. Auburn had the bigs, but didn't have the guards. Gonzaga had them, but Gonzaga was too slow and they weren't athletic enough. Duke was our worst nightmare, because our only chance was to beat them with 3pt shooting.
