The All Expatriate Team

[Jackrabbit Hog]

Since it appears to be relevant given the number of threads touching on Arkansas high school kids who went elsewhere, who would make up your All Expatriate Team?  Starting 5.  I realize we tend to default to recent events and players, but don't forget about guys like Dexter Reed (Memphis State), Quincy Lewis (Minnesota) and others before this generation.

So who would it be?  I'd go with:

Dexter Reed
Malik Monk
Quincy Lewis
Archie Goodwin
Jason Harrison

I'm sure there are lots of more deserving guys I'm forgetting.

The Jones brothers.  Bring it!

Add Jimmy Oliver to that list. Not sure if he was recruited by Arkansas or not, but he was a great player for Purdue under Gene Keady.

Keith Lee, Michael Cage and Caldwell Jones should be on the team for sure. 

There was also a power forward from Parkview I believe who had a very good career at Florida State.  Can't remember his name for the life of me.

And what about Dion Cross (Stanford)?

[ShadowHawg]

James Anderson
Malik Monk
Quincy Lewis

Second team
Kevaughn Allen
Archie Goodwin

Maurice Robinson (Fla St) was on Dion Cross' Parkview team.
in fact, i think that whole starting 5 signed D1 scholarships.  derek fisher was also on that team... as a reserve.

Though not out of state, Scottie Pippen went to UCA.
AJ Walton from Hall went to Baylor and was pretty good.
Wasn't there a Fayetteville kid that went to Kansas a few years ago?

Going to the way-back machine.  Love it!

There was a kid from West Helena a guard that went to Ole Piss  don't remember his name , it was late 90's to early 2000's. Was a really good player

Anthony Boone?  I think back during that era, which was the beginning of the end for Nolan, Ole Miss actually started 5 guys that were all Arkansas high school products - and they beat us more than we beat them.  I know there was a Flanagin, Keith Carter from Perryville, Boone, and a couple of others.  It was a very frustrating time for Arkansas fans.

Keith Carter?  But he was from Perryville. Always lit us up.

Whoops my bad, didn't see you had already answered

Ha, those two names literally jumped into my head when I read OP's post.

[fineswine]

Joe Harvell (not on the same level as some of the guys mentioned, but did lead the SEC in scoring one year).

[Pork Twain]

How is Scotty Pippen not on any of these lists?  Or are we just talking about players that left the state.

I think Scottie's not on the list for a couple of reasons.  One, he didn't leave the state to play.  Second and more importantly, no one knew who he was coming out of high school and no one was recruiting him.  He was 6'1" and skinny as a rail.  He walked on at UCA and spent much of his freshman year as a team manager/bench warmer.  As we all know, he took a huge growth spurt between his freshman and sophomore years and the rest is history.  But he didn't disappoint anyone by not going to U of A.  Nobody knew anything about him.

[Hootiethehog]

What about Cory Carr?

I played against him when he was at Kingsland in the mid 90s. Went on to set records at Texas Tech and ended up with the Bulls.

[East Clintwood]

Caldwell and Major Jones.  They also had two other brothers whose names I don't recall.  All 4 played for several to many years in the NBA.  None went to Arkansas schools.


Edit:  Charles and Wil were the names of the other 2 Jones brothers.  I had to look that up.
