So for the second year in a row, we have a guy with no chance of being drafted who is declaring for the NBA. He is not hiring an agent so the option to return could still be there.

Don't see him returning...may be by mutual decision? Not sure by any means, but if they are looking to get the program back on track I'm not sure he fits into the program going forward.

He leaves, and Arkansas is getting someone who's been compared to Fortson. I've seen him play, he's just like Forston. BUT, he shares the ball, looks for the open man. I'm talking about Kikko Haydar from Fayetteville HS. He's gonna walk on with the Hogs. The 5'6 footer averaged over 21 points, and 8 assists per game in his senior season.

that's what we need! walk-ons to turn the program around!
notice even the sunshine pumpers have nothing good to say about the b-ball program. This week Anderson says he would've been interested in this job, and yet he's staying in Missouri, Ricardo Ratliffe isn't coming and all of Pelphrey's eggs were apparently in one basket on that one. The players that are here have no chemistry, or respect for their coach. Rumors about guys like Rotnei leaving, etc. It's just a mess

But if 5"6" walk on plays next season for Arkansas we are in trouble. If Fortson leaves we may drop in talent, but I believe it might be better for the program in the long-term. But I don't see the walk-on replacing Fortson in the talent department, but I could be wrong? |

I think one source stated that 13 players have "come and gone" in Pelphrey's 3 seasons not counting "graduates" (out of eligibility, not necessarily graduated).
