Well, it appears there is more bad news for Arkansas’ basketball team.

  According to a report by 40/29, Arkansas guard Stefan Welsh has been suspended indefinitely from the team for an undisclosed reason.

  The news of Welsh’s suspension comes only four days after Arkansas coach John Pelphrey announced that troubled guard/forward Jason Henry has left the team and will not return. Henry became the fourth member of last year’s six-person recruiting class to leave the Razorbacks since December.

   I spoke with Arkansas athletic director Jeff Long early this afternoon, and I asked him about the growing problems within the basketball program and the displeasure some fans have expressed about the direction of the team under Pelphrey.

  Here is what Long said:

  “I would say that coach Pelphrey has my confidence and he understands the kind of basketball program we want to build and run. He and I are on the same page about that, so I think the future is bright for our men’s basketball program.

  “Are we going to win instantly? No, but we’re building for the future. We’re building a strong program on and off the court and one that we can all be proud of.”
