While Arkansas Razorbacks fans cheered, Memphis fans jeered.
The dream for Memphis Tigers fans was Todd Day would sign with the home team and later be joined by Penny Hardaway, who as a sophomore in high school was becoming a legend.
Instead, Day became Nolan Richardson's biggest name recruit for the Razorbacks, followed by Lee Mayberry who along with Day would lead the Razorbacks to a 115-24 record and a 9-4 record in four NCAA appearances, including the 1990 Final Four.
A footnote here: Like Day and Mayberry, Ron Huery was a McDonald's All-American, but he suffered from personal struggles during most of his time at the UA.
