MOUNTAIN BROOK, Ala. — Daniel Gafford was asked which new University of Arkansas teammate has been impressing him in practice.
He said a lot of the newcomers are doing well, but singled out 6-10 freshman Ibby Ali for praise.
“I’d say the guy who really has impressed me is Ibby,” Gafford said. “He’s been working hard and getting all of our plays down. He’s been soakling up everything like a sponge.
“He was kind of sluggish at first, but I guess he’s gotten to be where he has that mindset he wants to get better for this program.
