Todd Day question
I heard once day didn’t go to Memphis because Larry Finch wouldn’t give his brother a scholarship but Arkansas did. Anyone know the story behind this?

RE: Todd Day question
Ted Anderson was his step dad. Ted had a son that Larry would not offer a scholly to if memory serves me. One of many reasons Anderson has serious character flaws.

Back then, not sure if it's different now but you could become a real estate broker pretty easily. A lot of property gets sold in NW Arkansas and you made pretty good commission on a real estate deal.

I thought Arkansas made sure bills were paid and checks were cut?

You think Ted Anderson couldn’t afford to pay 80s tuition to Memphis State?

RE: Todd Day question
From Sports Illustrated in 1990:

Quote:Family ties were also a factor in Day's decision to attend Arkansas. At Hamilton High in Memphis, Day had played for his stepfather, Ted Anderson, and with his stepbrother, Darrell Anderson. The elder Anderson wanted Todd and Darrell, who was a year ahead of Day in school, to attend the same college and play for a black coach, like Richardson. "You could say it was a package," says Richardson.

The Razorbacks, however, did not get delivery until athletic director Frank Broyles assured Coach Anderson that Richardson would be around for Day's entire stay at Fayetteville. Richardson, 48, has called that assurance from Broyles the turning point of his career. Last month Broyles reaffirmed his faith in Richardson, who has a 107-51 record in five seasons at Arkansas, by rewarding him with a new seven-year contract.

Like Mayberry, Day produced immediate dividends, averaging 13.3 points off the bench. (Darrell Anderson suffered a series of knee and foot injuries and is not with the team, though he's still a student at Arkansas.) Last year Day supplemented his long-range game by slashing to the basket. "I said to myself one day, 'Thin as I am, I'm just going to have to get battered and bruised.' "

.

Don't forget how Peanut wanted Shawne to leave Memphis & not sign with Memphis to get away from all of the distractions.

Doesn't seem to have helped Ron Huery very much to go to Arkysuck.
