    I couldn’t be happier for Bryan to earn this tremendous opportunity at Arkansas State. He has been with me every step of the way and is one of the most loyal guys I know. Bryan is not only one of the top recruiters in the country, but he is also a terrific coach who understands the game. He brings a lot of passion and energy in everything he does which has played a big part in our success at the University of Buffalo and University of Alabama. His ability to build great relationships with recruits and their families, players and people from all walks of life will resonate with the community of Jonesboro and re-energize the fan base. Considering his familiarity having worked with Jeff Purinton at Alabama, I think it’s a perfect fit and a terrific hire.

    Bryan Hodgson is a home run hire for Arkansas State. He has been an integral part of rebuilding two college basketball programs. His knowledge of the game and his ability to teach, communicate, and connect with players sets him apart. He has an infectious personality, a network of contacts, and a work ethic second to none. Bryan will be a difference maker on campus and in the community. I’m excited to watch and talk about his success as he builds the Red Wolves into a perennial NCAA Tournament team.
