Summary

Chris Lykes wants to do two things: play basketball and win. He rose to basketball prominence in the same hotbed that produced Kevin Durant, and spent the first four seasons of his college career at the University of Miami. So how did Lykes end up here? A season-ending injury renewed his desire to achieve more. After testing the NBA waters, Lykes decided it was in his best interests to return for another year in college. And it was obvious what the perfect fit would be. Lykes is ready to learn what it takes to make it to the next level from Eric Musselman, and help the Hogs reach their full potential. And as Arkansas basketball analyst Matt Zimmerman sits down with Chris Lykes, it’s time to get to know one of the newest Razorbacks.
