ehhh.. I like it. Someone who has a deep understanding of our program. If you don't think his contribution to our program won't help on the recruiting trail you are kidding yourself.

The guy is a fricking legend in Arkansas hoops.

I'm not saying he's going to get the one and done players, but those kids that are extremely talented will listen to him.

I'm willing to give him a shot at this point. Hell he can't be a worse recruiter then what we already have out there and he might turn out to be a fairly good coach when all is said and done.

and Mike needed to hire someone that has that? You don't think Mike, TJ, Mayberry or even Kikko knows enough about the history of the program? Mike needs someone to go out and recruit some men.

What difference does that make? Sure the fans know who he is and like him. Kids today have no idea unless they're die hard arkansas fans already.

Point taken, and I cautiously optimistic about the hire. But to me the hire just emphasizes the 'living in the past' attitude we have towards hoops.

The game has changed. 40 minutes of Hell simply can't get a championship with the current rules. We need to accept that basketball is different and adjust accordingly. We need to look forward, not backward.
