10 most painful early departures in the Musselman Era

3. Khalif Battle

Arkansas fans saw the potential of Khalif Battle down the stretch of the season. His 42-point performance against Mizzou was the second-highest by a Hog this century. That match sparked a seven-game streak scoring 20 or more points, including three with at least 34.

Unfortunately, it ended as quickly as it started. Despite the historic season, Battle decided to transfer after Eric Musselman left for sunshine and beaches in LA. He's joining Musselman on the west coast, just a little further north, committing to Gonzaga.

His leash was tight at the beginning of the season, but Battle still finished his career at Arkansas with 14.8 points a game, shooting 40.6 percent from the floor and 35.3 from the 3-point line.
