Jerome Tang is staying at Kansas State after all. After Arkansas made a strong pursuit to replace Eric Musselman, he is opting to remain in Manhattan, he announced via social media.
Tang’s name was one of the first to come up for the Razorbacks opening after Musselman left for USC, along with Ole Miss coach Chris Beard. However, Beard announced his plans to stay in Oxford on Friday, meaning the search turned to Tang. The Field of 68’s Jeff Goodman reported he was a “leading candidate” after Beard’s decision.
Kansas State made a strong push to keep Tang, though. CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein reported the school offered him an extension as Arkansas made its pursuit, and that commitment apparently made a difference.
This story will be updated.
