Good stuff, probably my favorite player from this season.

[HawgWild]

Great letter. Glad to hear he had such positive experiences as Hog.

[FineAsSwine]

Pretty cool to see some real student-athletes up on the Hill. Props to Jabril.  :razorback: :razorback: :razorback:

[Dwight_K_Shrute]

I got a little sentimental reading that.  This is really what it's all about.  What a great kid.  We should all be saying we wish Jabril could have been a Hog for 4 years as well. 

Wins will come but when I ready letters like that it makes me proud of my University and athletic department.  That we could have such a positive effect on his life is a great thing beyond any W's or L's.

He is going to be a excellent representative for the University and the program wherever he goes and whatever he does in life. Wish him nothing but the best and hope the UofA and the athletic department can keep having this positive impact.

What a wonderful letter.
This is exactly what the sports programs should be about.

[rzrbk4life]

What a class act. I wish jabril nothing but success the rest of his life. Glad he was a hog

Wow! That is a great testimonial. Mike and staff need to carry a copy of that on every in home visit.

Yep - you know, every time I let some negativity creep in my mind about Anderson - I think back to the Pelphrey and Heath years - which was a horrible time for the program on the court, off the court and in the classroom. Complete failures in every aspect.
Anderson is a class act - and I think we have a really good chance to be back in the hunt next year.

[gmarv]

what a class act this kid is. I hope (know) he do well after basketball is over for him.
thanks jabril .

[Karma]

Good for that young man.

[Inhogswetrust]

Very Nice! Proof that those that think athletes overall only care about athletics and making money couldn't be more wrong.

[Paul]

classy kid

[RealHog]

Now I love Jabril even more. He played every night proud of the name of the front of the jersey and not the back, and treasured the opportunity. I hope the players coming in can follow his example. He was always working his tail off and doing whatever he could to get the hogs on top. Watching some old games, I think we will miss his ball handling and court vision. He wasn't a gamebreaker on offense but he had some big moments and shots, and didn't try to score alot because he knew his job was to get the ball the right guys and get them in rhythm. He had a talent for perfectly timed passes in traffic to find Hannahs, Bell, or Kinglsey wide open for an easy bucket.

Another Durham memory was his steal at the end of overtime against Vandy to seal the game. Can't forget he was a ball hawk and had his fair share of steals as well.

[HoopS]

Was very proud of Jabril this season! Wishing him all the best.

[HognitiveDissonance]

Very classy by him and I wish him the best in the future.
That's the thing with Hog fans; you keep your nose clean and play hard, Hog fans will remember and take care of you forever.

We will definitely miss him next year on the court; he is a true point guard who had a great senior year.

[opineonswine]

Solid. Wish him all the best.

[zebradynasty]

I understand what he is saying had he been a 4 or 5 year player with us...improved by leaps and bounds over 2 years. I think he can play overseas not many true point guards around anymore.

Or he may never bounce a basketball again either way, got a feeling this isn't the last we've heard from Jabril. In my book he's already a success!

[rude1]

After reading a letter like that it kind of makes you ashamed that you criticized him because of what he did on a basketball court, good stuff.

One day I hope to hear about Dr Durham in one of our local clinics or hospitals.

[DeltaBoy]

My hopes and Prayers are with this Young man . God's Speed.

[bphi11ips]

My first thought was "That's what it's all about."  Then I see it was others' first thought, too.

Influences my perception of the basketball program for sure.

Nice.

[RacinRazorback]

What a refreshing, inspirational letter from a class young man. Kudos to MA and his staff and everyone at the UofA for having a positive impact on kids (students) lives. Makes me even prouder to be a Razorback! WPS!

Hope he really racks up the assists in that field as well.

Class act and thanks for all your contributions to our program.   You will do big things in life.
