Daniel Gafford showed why he's a lot different than most with fantastic block and even better one-hand dunk at the other end.

Arkansas-bound standout makes big block at one end and remarkable dunk at the other.


Not many high school kids — human beings of any age really — can do what Daniel Gafford does. Not physically.

The 6-foot-11 forward from El Dorado is the No. 1 basketball recruit in all of Arkansas.

He's definitely different and sometimes different is better.



His block at one end in a recent game was nice, but not particularly special.

What he did at the other end, few on the planet could do, taking a lob pass from Charles Manning and throwing it down for a monster one-hand dunk.

The difference between a regular basket and what Gafford did was way better. It gave his team loads of energy in another big win. The team is off to a 6-0 start.
