For some reason Lehigh sure seems to recruit Arkansas hard.

We aren't getting this kid, regardless, but we don't need a point next year.

Who is he, and where is he from? If he's from Arkansas, you can just about forget it. We don't get many from here, and who was the last one from Arkansas that was major player?

We have always said that we need three point guards. Why wouldn't we need another good young point guard. Our problem is that kids don't want to wait their turn to play. That's when you know you have a good program. When you can recruit a future starter and he's willing to redshirt or sit on the bench for a year or two and start as a Junior, or even a Senior. If ours don't start and play most of the minutes as Freshmen, they're ready to transfer. Very frustrating.

This ain't Duke or Indiana, and Shields ain't Coach K or Bobby Knight. A lot of kids would sit and learn for a year in a good program, but to be perfectly frank, programs like UALR don't have any respect.

Who in the hell that was a big star at his hometown high school(and most of these guys are)would want to go back home and say "I red-shirted at UALR last year", or "I averaged a couple of minutes a game at UALR last year." Then, the person he's talking to will say, "what and where's UALR? I've never heard of it. They don't ever make it the NCAA tournament. You mean you had to ride the bench at a no-name like that? You must not be nearly as good as we thought you were if you couldn't start for them.

As Scotto would say, "UALR ain't even Nu-Duke."

We assume that every kid who plays basketball only comes to a school to play basketball. How about a Gus Leeper, who wants an education. Or maybe Michael Poulter. Some kids who are good high school players want a free education, and if they get somewhere, whether it be UALR or somewhere else, and like it and make friends, they want to stay there.
Yeah, the superstars who are good enough to at least think they have a shot at the NBA are going to be impatient because most of them shouldn't be in college to begin with, but the normal kid, the Richard Hardmans and Co Willis's and Too Tall Eason and others are willing to redshirt and earn their spot, and those kids I just mentioned did. We get upset when the Democrat Gazette gives us no respect, and here we're doing the same things ourselves. UALR is a nice school which is getting better all the time, and there's no reason why a young man shouldn't be willing to wait his turn to play an integral part of the team. Just my take.

Tulsa has offered too per one of the articles linked on his rivals profile
