Anderson made the following statement about the decision:
“Jacorey has been a part of our program for the past three years and we wish him the best as he pursues his future away from Razorback Basketball. Members of our program carry a responsibility to conduct themselves in a manner consistent with the expectations we have established for our student-athletes both on and off the court.”
