Arkansas big man Malique Ewin is entering the NCAA transfer portal, even though it’s not certain if he will be playing in 2026-27.
Ewin told On3’s Joe Tipton of his decision to enter the portal during the postseason window. He has played 4 seasons of college basketball already, but is seeking a waiver for additional eligibility. Reports indicate that Ewin is arguing that his season of playing for South Plains Community College at the JUCO level in 2023-24 should not count against his 4 seasons of college eligibility.
