LITTLE ROCK — Bill Ingram and Mike Conley Sr. started the Arkansas Hawks organization in 1998 to help young athletes on and off the court.
Many of those former athletes are doing the same and by giving back to organization that helped them. Six former Hawks, including four current and former Razorbacks recently spoke to the Hawks players.
On Saturday, two former Hawks, Arkansas junior guard Daryl Macon and Mississippi State senior guard I.J. Ready attended the 16-under Hawks practice in Little Rock and offered up advice to the players.
“Three weeks ago, Carl Baker was here working the camp with the kids all day,” said Ingram, who's the executive director of the Real Deal in the Rock basketball tournament.
