The duo represent the top Division I prospects from the state of Arkansas. Zachariason was named the state player of the year as a junior and Arnold is the point guard of the top program in the state’s largest high school division.

“There is no question that we are thrilled to begin the early signing period with these two players,” Gardner said. “It is very important for the best players from your state to stay in state. They are the starting point for what we believe will be a tremendous signing class.”

On Zachariason:
“Whitney is nothing but a champion,” Gardner said. “She has known nothing but success at CAC. What impresses me the most about her is her work ethic. She has put in hours in the gym outside of her team practices to work on her game. She has post player size, but the ability to face the basket and hit the three.”

On Arnold:
“Shanita is one of the top point guards in the country, and we’re fortunate that she chose Arkansas,” Gardner said. “Every championship team has a great point guard, and Shanita is that caliber of player. She is an exceptional ball handler, but more important she has the point guard mentality. She has three-point range and could score 20 a game, but she would rather distribute the ball. I feel very confident the future of the point guard position is in good hands.”

Three more players are expected to sign by the end of the week.
