Tolliver, a native of Sherwood, Arkansas and a transfer from UALR to Oklahoma City, was named the top prospect in NAIA by Baseball America and Perfect Game.

from Baseball America:

All-American SP
Pitcher of the Year: Ashur Tolliver, lhp, Oklahoma City
TOP 10 PROSPECTS, 2009 DRAFT: #1
Oklahoma City, with three all-Americans, added hard-throwing LHP Ashur Tolliver, who transferred from Arkansas-Little Rock after going 3-0, 2.17 in relief in the Cape Cod League last summer.

from Perfect Game:

This year, the best prospect at the NAIA level, according to PG Crosschecker, is Oklahoma City pitcher Ashur Tolliver, an Arkansas-Little Rock transfer. The 6-foot, 170-pound lefthander struggled in Division I a year ago, going just 2-5, 7.94, but he showed flashes of brilliance last summer in the Cape Cod League with three plus pitches, including a fastball that topped out at 94 mph and a slider at 84. If Tolliver can establish any sense of consistency in a new environment this spring, he could emerge as a third- or-fourth rounder.
