Are you surprised Jaylin Williams has emerged already as the Razorbacks’ best overall player in less than two years at the college level? If you’ve been following high school basketball in Arkansas, especially Fort Smith Northside basketball, you are not surprised. Not in the least. The pipeline from Northside to Fayetteville has flowed for many years with basketball talent, going all the way back to the 1960s when Tommy Boyer arrived on campus from Fort Smith and became an All-Southwest Conference player who twice led the nation in free-throw percentage.
