THE RECRUITING GUY: Arkansas basketball signee Macon still rolling

Junior college shooting guard Daryl Macon, who signed with Arkansas during the early signing period in November, was a marked man going into this season after being a first-team junior college All-American as a freshman.

Macon, 6-4, 185 pounds, of Holmes Community College in Mississippi, averaged 23 points per game while shooting 46.5 percent from the field and 36.9 percent on three-pointers as a freshman.

Despite the extra attention, he's averaging 22.9 points per game this season while shooting 48.8 percent from the field and 36.7 percent from beyond the three-point line.

"I knew it was a going to be a lot harder," Macon said.
