What Coach Anderson Is Saying
“Darious is a young man that had a breakout season last year and is one of the best wing players not only in our state, but in the country,” Anderson said. “He’s a long, athletic guard that plays with great energy and can really score. His rebounding ability and versatility as a guard makes him a dynamic player. Darious is the ultimate competitor and will fit right into our system. He comes from a fantastic family and he’s always wanted to be a Razorback and now that dream has come true.”
