FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Keon Hatcher wasnt sure at first what to expect from an unplanned fifth season at Arkansas.However, whatever hesitation the wide receiver had about returning to the Razorbacks -- following a broken left foot that cost him most of last season -- has long since been put behind him.The 6-foot-2, 207-pound receiver has returned to his role as one of the top receiving targets for resurgent No. 17 Arkansas (3-0), a position he hopes to highlight on Saturday against No. 10 Texas A&M (3-0).Keon is definitely the glue that makes that group go, Arkansas coach Bret Bielema said. Hes a pretty intelligent, gifted wide receiver that, if he continues to play well, will be rewarded for a long time.Hatcher began last season as the unquestioned top receiver for the Razorbacks, a role he affirmed by catching 13 passes for 198 yards in the first two games. It was in that second game against Toledo, though, that Hatcher felt the break in his foot -- forcing him to miss the rest of the season and reevaluate his immediate career plans.Like many of his former teammates, including current Buffalo Bills running back Jonathan Williams, Hatcher expected to try his shot at the NFL after last season.It was a path he decided to put off for a year while rehabilitating from his injury, one that also meant he would be without many of the teammates and friends he began college with.It was very tough at first, Hatcher said. The guys that Im so close with, Sebastian (Tretola), (Williams), those guys, they all left and I had to come back. It was very tough, but it was a blessing.While Hatcher lost many of his closest friends, he returned in a leadership position his coaches wanted him to take advantage of.The first way wide receivers coach Michael Smith made sure Hatcher did just that was by making sure he stayed around his teammates while recovering following surgery.Through that whole process, he was always around, Smith said. The thing I wouldnt let him do is not be around the football team. The guys still have a lot of faith in his words, so its been an easy transition -- if it even was a transition.Hatcher also had to adjust to life with a new starting quarterback -- Austin Allen -- for the first time in three seasons.After an offseason of working together, its an adjustment thats gone just fine so far for both -- with Hatcher second on the Razorbacks in catches (11) and first in receiving yards (204) after three games. That includes a career-best 73-yard catch in Arkansas 42-3 win over Texas State a week ago, a play that capped a three-catch, 96-yard receiving first quarter for the senior.Keons been huge for us this year, just the way he handles his business and teaches the younger guys how to act like a professional, really, Allen said. Hes been through it all, and the way hes playing this year is all about the work hes put in during the summer and its really showing.Last weeks performance is one Hatcher hopes repeat this week against a Texas A&M team thats beaten the Razorbacks in each of Hatchers first four seasons, including the last two in overtime.Its time to get over the hump, Hatcher said.

Cheap MLB Jerseys From China . -- Jacksonville wide receiver Cecil Shorts will likely be a game-time decision whether hell play Sunday in the Jaguars home game against the San Diego Chargers. ATLANTA -- The Hawks Dwight Howard said Saturday he doesnt have any problems with former teammate James Harden, who said the day before that he, too, has no beef with the 6-foot-11 center.The two were teammates for three seasons with the Rockets, and the relationship ended when Howard declined his player option. Howard signed a three-year, $70.5 million deal in July with the Hawks, whom the Rockets played on Saturday night.Everybody is always looking for a beef between a player when they leave a team, Howard said. Theres no beef. Both of us came from nothing and we made it. Ill never be mad or hate on another player because he made it. His dream came true. Im happy for him, and hopefully hell continue to play great.Howard did admit his three seasons with the Rockets had some inconsistencies. The team reached the postseason in all three seasons but had two first-round exits and a trip to the 2015 Western Conference finals, losing 4-1 to Golden State.Lots of ups and downs, Howard said when asked about the three seasons in Houston. We had a really good playoff run one year; other than that, just try to do what I can in the community, make Houston a better place and win.Last season the Rockets had a dramaa-filled season that ended with a 41-41 finish and them just sneaking into the postseason as the No.dddddddddddd 8 seed. Harden said it was draining emotionally. The personalities of Harden and Howard seemed to mix well in the first two seasons. But last year, with Howard seeking the ball more and Harden becoming more of a leader, there seemed to be some friction. A source told ESPN toward the end of the season the relationship between the two was cordially bad.Theres always going to be stories, thats the nature of this business, people are going to make stories up, Howard said. I have no ill will toward any player in this league -- all of us have had to come from nothing to make it. I always wish him nothing but the best. I think hes a very talented player and has a great opportunity in front of him to lead a very young team, and hes doing a good job as an individual making plays, passing the ball great and hopefully hell keep it up.The Hawks beat the Rockets on Saturday night, 112-97, with Howard collecting 20points and 14 rebounds. Harden led all scorers with 30 points.? ' ' '
