Even more respect that he did it in 4 years.

 

[hUTch2002]

He’s the kind of guy you absolutely HATE defending you. I love the way he plays!

And an extended absence with a torn ACL! He’s an amazing basketball player!

Congrats ZZ! He deserves every accolade and record that comes his way. He plays the game the way it’s supposed to be played. I’m trying to savor every game we get to watch him this year, because I will sure miss seeing him out there next season. Barnes was right when he said at the start of his Freshman year that he thought ZZ would go down as one of the all-time fan favorites. I hope he can get a shot at the next level, and when his playing days are over he can come back here and help coach if he wants to pursue that.

ZZ deserves all the credit. I have enjoyed watching him ball EVERY game. The 3, the floater and the lob, amazing to watch. His ability to defend 94 ft from line to line is a thing of beauty and unmatched on the team. We will miss him when he is done. Looking forward to the rest of the season on both ends of the court.

True, and to think, that guy had one D1 offer coming out of high school.

Seems like he’s also tightened up the turnovers and getting closer to that 3 to 1 ratio which elevates his play even more.

That’s awesome. Plays hard whether down 10 or up 10. Glad he’s wearing orange.

 

[apevol]

When Chris Lofton was lacing em up for his last season i thought I'd never miss a player more than him. I think ZZ may be that dude

 

[UTFanForLife]

Active hands and he’s quick. Deadly combo for the guy he’s guarding.

I’ll say this, “NO ZZ” next season is going to be a lot to replace.. this man is literally Rick Barnes on the court!

Anyone who has doubted his abilities is going to feel it next season! The guy is just special!

Zakai Zeigler: loves his teammates, coaches & fans. All love him (except opponents, who are anxious for his departure).

Another reason I prefer to have a developer as a coach of a guy that just recruits, like the man in Arkansas. Most of the guys Barnes has had success with here were guys that were not very highly recruited and were thank you so much here 3 plus years. A lot of coaches talk about system and culture, but it’s real here. Im not discounting ZZ’s talent and hard work, of course, but I love how this staff brings on guys like that who buy in, take hard coaching, do the work, etc instead of just chasing guys with a bunch of stars by their names.
