Arkansas officials have just confirmed what we have been hearing all day: Jason Henry has left the Razorbacks’ basketball team.

Here is the release the school just sent out:

University of Arkansas basketball guard/forward Jason Henry will not return as a member of the Razorback basketball team, head coach John Pelphrey announced on Saturday.

“Jason Henry will no longer be a member of the Razorback basketball team,” Pelphrey said. “Throughout his time with our program, we have worked with Jason on a day-to-day basis to foster his growth as a student-athlete and a person. While we are appreciative of the academic progress he made working with our academic support staff, it is in the best interest of our basketball program to move forward with student-athletes who have a long-term commitment to the University of Arkansas and the Razorback program on and off the court.”

Henry, from West Memphis, Ark., played in 23 games as a true freshman with two starts. He averaged 8.0 points and 4.4 rebounds per game.

We’ll have more on this later.
