Name That Obscure Hog

Name That Obscure Hog

Move over, "Wheel of Fortune." Eat your heart out, "Jeopardy." It's time for another edition of the game that Americans from coast to coast have fallen head over heels in love with. "Name That Obscure Hog" is a straightforward game: We post a photo of a Razorback that most fans have probably forgotten and ask our readers to name him. The first person to do so will receive nothing in return other than our undying respect ... as well as our concern that he or she - like us - may need to get out more.

Here are some clues about today's obscure Hog: Like last week's mystery player, he was a highly touted basketball recruit whose years in Fayetteville were something of a disappointment. One other thing that he and Ricky Norton have in common: they were both suspended for the first half dozen or so games of this player's senior season. Unlike Norton, this Mississippi native spent much of his Razorback career as a back-up to Scott Hastings.

Here's the photo (major props for those bad-ass shades):

Name That Obscure Hog

It's time for another edition of the game that is quickly becoming a national obsession. "Name That Obscure Hog" is a straightforward game: We post a photo of a Razorback that most fans have surely long forgotten about and ask our readers to name him. The first person to do so will receive nothing in return other than our undying respect ... as well as our concern that he or she - like us - may need to get out more.

A few clues about today's obscure Hog. Once again, he was a basketball player. He was highly touted, having been named a McDonald's All-American as a high-school senior. He didn't quite live up to the expectations, though.

In his senior year, he hit a last-second jumper to beat Texas A&M in the SWC Tournament. Our favorite memory of him, though, took place earlier in his career, when he secured a nationally televised road win against Wake Forest by nailing five of six free throws in the game's final minutes.

Here's the photo of today's mystery player:

Name That Obscure Hog

Welcome to the inaugural edition of what will be a periodic feature here at Razorback Expats. "Name That Obscure Hog" is a straightforward game: We post a photo of a Razorback that most fans have surely long forgotten about and ask our readers to name him. The first person to do so will receive nothing in return other than our undying respect ... as well as our concern that he or she - like us - may need to get out more.

We will say only the following things about today's Obscure Hog: 1) he was a basketball player and 2) his media-guide entry contains one of the funniest lines we've come across in such a publication: "Endurance and being prone to illness are his greatest drawbacks." Poor guy.

Here's the photo. Let the guessing begin:

FILE -- This is an Oct. 18, 2008 file photo showing Connecticut corner back Jasper Howard (6) trying to get the crowd into the game during the fourth quarter of an NCAA college football game against Rutgers, in Piscataway, N.J.   Jasper Howard had his little sisters' names tatooed on his chest. His friends say it was a constant reminder of why he was at U Conn _ to provide his family with a better life than the one he had in Miami's Little Haiti. (AP Photo/Mel Evans, File) link
