If Darrell Walker is going to make a strong early impact in Little Rock, it will hinge greatly on how good a recruiter he is. He is going to have to rebuild most of a roster that was not all that good to start with - and the early signing period is already over, so he is working with leftovers at this point. Still, there are a lot of good leftovers out there, plenty good enough for us.
Chris Beard did a masterful job of filling in the chinks by bringing in a few key players for his championship team. Somehow or other he found Lis Shoshi and Jermaine Ruttley, who were real keys for us. They fit like a glove with what we had coming back and the result was a record season. However, Walker does not have anything like the talent Beard had coming back; most especially he does not have Josh Hagins returning. He is building on a much more rickety structure. If he can piece together a respectable season, I will say he has done a decent job in his first year.
