Cleveland Hill claims the 'soul' of a Razorback newcomer

FAYETTEVILLE — The legend of Cleveland Street Hill recently added another Razorback soul to its lore.

It seems that junior college transfer Arlando Cook (6-9, 219 pounds) acknowledged as much to Arkansas coach Mike Anderson after the Razorbacks made their annual trek up the elevated street back on Sept. 23.

Cleveland Hill has long been a part of Arkansas' basketball conditioning during the offseason. The team begins at Bud Walton Arena and runs up the hill before returning. The base of the hill is located about 1.5 miles from the arena.

"It was 6 in the morning and (Cook), he ran real good until about halfway up Cleveland Hill and he said ‘Coach, I lost my soul,'” Anderson said.
