For different reasons, two of the top high school basketball players in the state this season announced their commitments to the University of Central Arkansas on Friday.
Farmington's Layne Taylor and Lake Hamilton's Ty Robinson, both 3-star prospects according to 247Sports, shared a graphic on social media Friday wearing UCA uniforms to announce their commitment to new Bears Coach John Shulman.
They are the third and fourth scholarship commitments Shulman has earned after previously getting ones from forwards Tyler Lee of Knoxville (Tenn.) Fulton and Cole McCormick of Chattanooga (Tenn.) Notre Dame.
Taylor and Robinson will also be joined by summer teammate Owen Dehrman. The Bentonville senior announced Tuesday he accepted a preferred walk-on spot with the Bears.
"I think it's a great opportunity for me," Taylor said.
