Greenbrier pitcher couldn't pass up new Hogs' coach

GREENBRIER -- Hunter Milligan thought so much of pitching coach Wes Johnson that the Greenbrier pitcher had a change of heart when it came to selecting a college.

Johnson was Mississippi State's pitching coach when Milligan made his commitment to the Bulldogs in 2015. In June, after Mississippi State lost in the NCAA super regionals, Johnson resigned to take the same position at the University of Arkansas.

On Wednesday, Milligan -- a 6-4, 220-pound left-hander who compiled a 1.20 earned run average with the Panthers in the spring -- signed a national letter of intent to play baseball for the Razorbacks.
