With Patrick Beverly out, at least for the year, due to… well, no one really knows why he’s unavailable… Arkansas was in need of some good news.

They got it yesterday when the NCAA cleared freshman point guard Courtney Fortson to play this winter.

“Oh, man, it seemed (to take) so long.  But the great thing is that everything is all cool now and I can head that way.  I got the call and told my Mom, and we were both just very, very thankful.”

I’m guessing John Pelphrey felt the same way.

Now, back to Beverly, after telling FoxSports.com on Friday that he’d signed with an agent and was heading overseas to play professionally, he now says that he did NOT sign with an agent and that his “first choice is still to go back to Arkansas.”

It’ll be interesting to watch this one play out.
