10 most painful early departures in the Musselman Era
1. Trevon Brazile
While most people might choose Nick Smith Jr. as No. 1 on this list. However, Trevon Brazile was, by far, the most painful to watch. Brazile was much more of an unknown when he transferred from Mizzou. However, Arkansas' tour in Europe showcased how athletic he could be.
Once the actual season began, it was evident that his game wouldn't skip a beat back in the States. In nine games, Brazile averaged 11.8 points, six rebounds, an assist, a block, and a steal per game. He even went viral with a nasty one-handed slam against South Dakota State. Even legend Magic Johnson had something to say about it.
Unfortunately, six games later he tore his ACL and missed the rest of the season. Instead of leaving, he decided to come back again to settle unfinished business. But, he suffered from a lot of soreness that suppressed his potential. After a horrendous 2023-24 season, Brazile declared for the NBA draft and entered the transfer portal to keep his options open.
