BURN THE HORSE
- This continues to be a recruiting period for the UALR basketball teams and visitors are scheduled this week. Those at tonight's SpectacUALR include guard Tyler Kalinoski of Olathe (Kan.) East HS. He's considered one of the top five players on the Kansas side of Kansas City.KC Prep Hoops article
- And WN will make his official visit this weekend. Will has been injured of late and did not participate with Daytona State at last week's Southeastern Jamboree in Tallahassee, Fla. It's once again a possibility that he will sit out the 2010-2011 season as a redshirt and have three years to play in Division I. Stay tuned. Signing day is about four weeks away.
- UALR men start practice sometime Friday night. The women are continuing to practice (They started last week). Officially, practices are closed by the UALR Department of Athletics. You should call before trying to attend practice in order to avoid a wasted trip.
- Heard the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette has a new UALR beat writer. His name is Matthew Harris and he's a Mizzou graduate (You can't escape). He's also a former business department intern at the Democrat-Gazette. Judging by what he's written so far, it appears he'll have similar primary responsibilities to what Jeffrey Slatton had (golf and UALR).
- Also keep this in mind:
A reminder to those fans going to UALR events that they are not permitted to initiate contact with prospective student athletes making visits. These are NCAA rules and could potentially jeopardize a recruit's ability to attend UALR. Administration, coaches and current players will give these recruits all the information they need to know.
