Rx for the Hogs: A Miracle Cure for Our Basketball Woes

These are dark days for the basketball Hogs...losses mounting, players dropping like flies and a growing sense of discontent among the fanbase. Obviously help is needed. So, I got to thinking...what would the ideal savior of the program look like?

Based on the current team's many needs, I'd say that hypothetical player should have:
* the size to bang with the big guys down low
* 3-point shooting skills to give the offense some much-needed firepower (sorry Rotnei)
* charisma to inspire the fans and his teammates
* big-game experience: winning on the road, a championship pedigree, etc

Sounds like a tall order, right? Surely no single player could combine all those different abilities?? Well, the good news is that I've identified just the right person, and he has Razorback ties to say the least (the bad news is that there may be some eligibility issues). Follow me after the jump to learn the identity of this mystery man:
<!--more-->Dwight

That's right, Dwight Stewart. It's almost painfully obvious once you start thinking about it. Surely he must have at least a few games of eligibility left, right?

I wish! John, I think you, meow!!!, let the cat out of the bag there by putting “Filed Under Dwight Stewart” below, haha. But I enjoyed the sense of anticipation to that point all the same. Yeah, it would be nice to have a player with his level of talent on the team. Wouldn’t it be neat if there were an NCAA rule that allowed a team to bring back one player every year from a previous team regardless of eligibility issues. You couldn’t ever use said player again after that year, but for a bonus year you would have him. You could throw in there as an extra incentive to stay clean that your team couldn’t use this bonus year if they had been cited for any violations in the previous year or happen to currently be on probation.
