FAYETTEVILLE -- Isaiah Joe and Desi Sills grew up on different sides of the state, but the University of Arkansas freshman guards have known each other since they were in the seventh grade.
Sills, who is from Jonesboro, said he first met Joe, who is from Fort Smith, six years ago in Little Rock when they played against each other in an AAU game.
At the time, Sills was playing for the Arkansas Bulldogs. He soon joined Joe on the Arkansas Hawks.
"Our chemistry is great. Our friendship is great," Joe said Monday when the Razorbacks held their first two preseason practices.
