Eric Musselman extension on the way? Hunter Yurachek offers optimistic update
Following Arkansas’ run to the Elite Eight, its first since 1995, ‘s stock has never been higher.
The Razorbacks also finished No. 2 in the SEC regular-season standings and have proven to be a force on the recruiting trail and transfer market under Musselman, which has led many to wonder why the school hasn’t locked up its coach to a long-term extension.
Well, that appears to be coming as AD recently shared this optimistic update on the coach’s status in Fayetteville:
Sleep well Arkansas! @RazorbackMBB is in good hands. #OneRazorback pic.twitter.com/3dhOFjIEz4

Not long after this tweet was issued by Yurachek, Jeff Goodman of Stadium reported that Arkansas was finalizing a new contract with Musselman.
Sit tight, Razorbacks, good news appears to be coming in short order.
They may be finalizing a new contract…but that doesnt mean your coach will sign it. Its just very strange that at least a statement hasnt been put out from Musselman that he is staying at Arkansas. Just odd and if I were an Arky backer, troubling. Most would be at about 90% that he stays, but still.
I’m guessing you didn’t pay any attention to the tweet from Arkansas’s AD that is included in the article? And Musselman has all but said exactly what you described. Hell, he even did an Arkansas sports podcast right after the NCAAT run ended during which he talked about staying at Arkansas long term and continuing to build on something he believes can become pretty special.
I in fact did not pay any attention to the tweet. Hardly ever do.
New five year contract at 4 mil a year.
Good news for Hogs!
