re: Anybody care to speculate?

My point Cheshire is that NWA talent is a bit overrated because of the competition.

Mainly on the football field, but as you have shown, there is only one player who has had any real success at the UofA in any major sport.

For example, Junction City. Since 2002 they have put out Kevin Payne, who was not offered by Arkansas and played at ULM. Started two seasons at safety for the Bears. James Anderson, went to Oklahoma State and is now a scorer in the NBA. Byran Jones, starting DT at Arkansas. Alan Turner, best safety on this team(not saying much I know). Jamario Bell, the next prospect.

A town of less than 1k has put out more top flight talent than damn near all of NWA.
