This has probably already been addressed and I missed it.  If so.....sorry.  But, I was reading about Barford, Macon and Cook being top 10 Jucos.  You could easily get very excited about this.  However, what's the story on why they didn't go D1 out of H.S?  Was it a athletic development thing or an academic thing?  If anyone knows the story on all three I would appreciate a brief post.

Sonny Weems was good for us. Heck, if they all 3 are just Coty Clarke good that would be pretty solid.
Hogs up! Covid down!

Thanks, PonderinHog.  I haven't heard anything about Aaron Ross lately.  Has he decided to stay and play for Beard?

Who was the last JUCO "star" with this much hype that came to Arkansas? Weems and Pargo were the only 2 that we recruited with this much hype. Waithe was probably the highest rated one after those 2, but he was in a very soft JUCO class and was never expected to be much more than a role player.

JUCOs pan out across the country every year. Marshall Henderson, Stefan Moody, Cinmeon Bowers, Kevin Punter, etc all came from JUCO and made a big impact in the SEC. Those are just a few of the many JUCOs who do work out. We haven't had much luck, but we also haven't recruited many with major offers like these 3.

Nobody around here knows anything on Ross yet.

If not mistaken those guys came mostly after one year playing JUCO ball and they were not super stars until their 2nd and 3rd years here. 

I hope it does not take a year for Barford and Macon but it will take some time for these guys to get used to the competition.

Brewer averaged 12 pts 4 reb per game his first season. Walker averaged 11 pts 4 reb 3 assists. I would take that from our 3 coming in. We don't need them to come in and be superstars, but we need them to be major conference caliber players unlike a few who are leaving.

Who was the last juco star nearly as good as the ones Arkansas has coming in? Even close?
