After finishing the 2024-25 season in fourth place and an early exit of the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament, Darrell Walker and staff have reloaded the Trojans roster with athletic, lengthy players from the transfer portal and high school recruiting ranks.
Eight newcomers – including Saline County stars and state champions Kellen Robinson (Bryant) and Terrion Burgess (Benton) – join seven Little Rock returners led by All-Ohio Valley Conference First Team guard Johnathan Lawson and OVC Defensive Player of the Year Tuongthach Gatkek.

The best news for Little Rock this offseason is the return of their starting point guard, K.K. Robinson. Prior to sitting out last season with a knee injury, Robinson was a first-team All-Ohio Valley Conference guard, starting in 27 games, averaging 15.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game during the 2023-24 season.
It will be a family affair in his final season as a Trojan as Robinson teams up with his little brothers, Kellen and Khasen. All three brothers starred at Bryant High School as All-State performers.
