Arkansas women add another transfer
Oklahoma transfer Chelsea Dungee has announced plans to attend the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville.
Dungee started 18 of 33 games and averaged 7.4 points, 2.5 rebounds and 0.8 assists last season. She was named to the Big 12 All-Freshman team.
Dungee made 37.9 percent of her field-goal attempts, including 33.8 percent from three-point range. Her final game with the Sooners was against new Arkansas Coach Mike Neighbors’ Washington team in the second round of the NCAA Tournament in March.
ESPN rated Dungee a four-star prospect, the No. 15 guard and No. 61 overall prospect in the nation for the 2016 class. She averaged 18.4 points and 4.7 rebounds a contest during her senior season at Sapulpa (Okla.) High School near Tulsa.
“Chelsea saying yes to the Arkansas Razorbacks is the jumpstart we need to reinvigorate our regional visibility,” Neighbors said. “She is widely known for being ultra-competitive and willing to do whatever it takes to help her team.
“She is a perfect fit for our style of play and will make an impact for us both in her transfer year and in our future.”
The 5-11 guard joins Florida State transfer A’Tyanna Gaulden as new additions to the Razorbacks’ roster. Both will sit out the 2017-2018 season because of NCAA transfer rules.
Arkansas also has signed high school seniors Grayce Spangler (Fayetteville), Tayla Thomas (Arlington, Texas) and Macy Weaver (Stillman Valley, Ill.), as well as junior college transfer Raven Baker-Northcross, a Malvern native who has played the past two seasons at Chipola College in Florida.
