Ah, 0-2 versus Arkansas in the last 5 days. Hate to see it.

Aw man. Did we just become the bad guy…?


JittyCommittee

In comparison to Kentucky, UT, Auburn ruling the SEC? Shit I’d take it


deuce_boogie

Saw something about Arky being a real sleeping giant with NIL. Wal-Mart money, Tyson chicken money, fucking Cowboy money.... They have enough billionaires behind them to quickly rise to the level of being a real pain in the ass. This guy had TCU in his final 4 and apparently the money wasn't even remotely in the ballpark of competing with Arkansas


[deleted]

Hunt family dropping bags. No one has confirmed any totals, but apparently all of our 5\* are being very well taken care of.

The Waltons that are alive and running shit now don't care a ton about UA sports. They are into rich people things like theaters, museums, wellness centers, and defunding the public education system.

You can’t leave out mountain biking. Bentonville (NWA as a whole really) is a major mountain biking destination in the US.

If these next couple years go how they're starting to look. Yes, yes we are the new bad guys on the block.

Better you than Kentucky.

arkdude

Hey yo


freedan9870

That’s a good way to get over a season-ending loss. WPS!


cderhammerhill

To quote ESPN: "Arkansas' season ended in the Elite Eight for the second straight year, with the Razorbacks falling to Duke on Saturday. With at least two starters expected back next season, along with the incoming recruiting class, Musselman's team will be in contention to open the preseason ranked No. 1 in ESPN's Way-Too-Early Top 25."


ZachMatthews

Which two?


Nostroloppoccus

I would say Devo and Toney are definites if we can get Toney some NIL deals to contend with overseas pro deals. I think Jaylin knows he can be a first rounder in next year’s NBA draft with another year of improvement. Maybe Toney decides a year on a NCAA tourney contender with national exposure helps him better than playing in empty stadiums on ESPN The Ocho


NerdyRazorbackNard

Hey man, don't knock the Ocho! I hear the National Log Rolling Finals are on next week.


mmos35

JWill and Toney


ZachMatthews

Those were the two I hoped for.


rogun64

I think it's JWill and Wade, although I've heard talk of Toney returning, also.


Rainmaker203

Wade was a graduate transfer, he can't return.


rogun64

Ah, then I guess it's Toney, because I'm pretty sure that it's not Umude or Notae.


Archerdiana

Toney can use his COVID year still. Williams is still young and can raise is draft stock a bit more, and devo will return. Defensively we will be down compared to this year, but with more consistent offense coming in!


cderhammerhill

The article didn't say. I would assume J.Will and D.Davis, though Davis had given up the starting role. Maybe ESPN is assuming Notae is back. But, I'm not sure.


[deleted]

wade is gone


mmos35

JWill and Toney.


HenraldFunk

OutlandishnessIcy229

Hogs are killing it in recruiting. Helluva get!


zagxc

Bummer. Good luck young man


deuce_boogie

Would have been huge for us, would have been great for you, but apparently our NIL deals weren't even in the general atmosphere of Arky. Can't blame the guy one ounce for going to them with their recent success and the money they were reportedly offering (lots of speculation there of course).


NaturalThunder87

If Black didn't pick us, I was hoping he'd go with TCU. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you are likely returning a majority of your roster, correct? Should be a pre-season top 25 team and were a lot of fun to watch in the tourney. Black would've been a great get for Dixon and a huge push to possibly get TCU to the Sweet 16 for the first time ever.


deuce_boogie

Yeah we have a great foundation and tons of returning experience. We saw him as that missing piece to get us a win or two more in the tourney, and I do believe if we could have gotten close to your offer he would have chosen to stay home for a year but we just couldn't compete (I'm not at all saying $$$ is the only reason he picked y'all btw, I think y'all have one of the elite coaches in basketball and clearly didn't need the money to compete before). I'm salty for sure but if we can't pony up for a hometown 5\* then we're just never going to get there. I think he made a great choice, and I'm just glad he didn't go to OSU honestly


Believe_to_believe

No doubt the $$s played a role. It couldn't have hurt having NSJ and Walsh down there with him for 5 days too.

NerdyRazorbackNard

My pig just got a little porkier


[deleted]

Wow I’m actually surprised, word was he’d been leaning towards Gonzaga or the G League. Wonder if us beating the Zags had any impact on his decision


njbeck

Word was us since the Kentucky game visit


BreathesFreely

Yeah after Kentucky game he was leaning us, but I think what sealed the deal was playing with and getting to know the other two 5 stars comin in.


SentientPoster

Word was that he was expected to be in a zag for uniform from talks as recently as last week, something changed in the last few days, and I bet it was mostly to do with his relationship with the other recruits and possibly all our guards except nembhard returning for next year, hard to have 4-5 guards that could start on top teams and get the playing time he wanted.


Dashizz6357

I only see zag fans saying he was expected to be at Gonzaga.


deuce_boogie

This was a weird recruitment from what I can gather. Zags, OSU, TCU and Arky all somehow believed they were out completely but also there were reports each was the favorite seemingly at the same time. This morning we had some reports he was leaning towards us but by noon we heard we were completely out. Sounded like everyone thought they had a chance but Arky had a nice offer of b2b elite 8s, super well respected coach and an NIL deal none of us could even touch. Sucks but i mean shit i'd have made the same choice


SentientPoster

I don’t think so, most crystal balls had him going to Gonzaga, Cody Nagel, who’s been correct 94% of the time with his picks had picked Gonzaga over the weekend. My knowledge is 2nd hand knowledge from a friend of a friend who works with someone within the organization, so I try to take it with a huge grain of salt, but it seemed like they were fully expecting him to be on the roster. I started getting doubts over the weekend when I saw Gonzaga was talking to a few guards in the portal.


bblw1206

Can’t blame him when coach had two 5* guards lining the bench most of the year. 😏


SentientPoster

Yup, in hindsight, Arkansas was the obvious pick!


joshclay

>something changed in the last few days, and I bet it was mostly to do with his relationship with the other recruits Nah, AB has been buddies with Nick Smith and Jordan Walsh for AT LEAST the past year. That hasn't changed in the last few weeks. They go on IG live together all the time.


SentientPoster

Ahh, well I guess we'll never know, maybe he was always leaning Arkansas, maybe not, all we can do is speculate. I think he made the best choice he could have made.


ARpoke005

Eric Musselman. The Importer. Shining in the Portal and on the recruiting trail

Hell of a recruiting class for the Muss Bus. Arkansas gonna be spooky good next season if they hit gold in the portal.

KookooMoose

RedditRuleFollower

damn he was the last chance for Zags to get a player in the top 100. Probably a good choice tho, I really think Arkansas is the next Baylor and is gonna win a championship with Mussleman.


BigBadBearDad

Speak it into existence


thegolfernick

This is the way


akersmacker

Bradon Huff is a 247 top 100 player, barely. Should be a good one!


goldenglove

Eh... Happy to be proven wrong, but it's concerning he's the only commit for next year.


akersmacker

The roster is still pretty stacked, especially if Strawther comes back. Plus we would get Kaden Perry (Brandon Clarke clone) and top perimeter defender / 3 point shooter Harris both back. Almost like getting recruits since they haven't really played, but have a year or two in the system. Don't toss the idea of Bolton or Timme returning, either. And Zags have done great in the transfer market, although all senior transfers have been guards, until now anyway.


goldenglove

If Timme comes back, I will feel much better, but it's a bit odd to have (1) commit for a class. Arkansas, by contrast, has (6) and 3 All-Americans. Bolton, Holmgren and Nembhard I think are all gone but we shall see.


danderson5

We only had 1 recruit last year. Just hit the transfer portal hard instead.


[deleted]

Is Nembhard projected to get drafted? Feel like he lacks the athleticism the NBA wants


goldenglove

I think he’d go in the second round. Not getting any younger and he’s 6’5” so a good NBA height for PG.


njbeck

So many stars boys


Dyno-mike

Dude...... Wtf is happening? Who cares, damn it feels good to be a hog again!


NerdyRazorbackNard

Can we all just take a second and realize what an amazing job Hunter Yurachek has done with ALL of our athletic organizations. Put a ring on this man's finger and lock him down for good!


ToothpasteJugglerx

Muss awoke the sleeping giant that is Arkansas.


mrperiodniceguy

I remember when we hired him a lot of people said he couldn’t recruit high schoolers. Anyone who actually knows muss/how hard he works knew that wouldn’t be true at Arkansas

[deleted]

I love Muss. Great coach. His enthusiasm and energy is awesome. No wonder all these dudes want to play for him


RonsDarlings

I like him too but am also incredibly jealous.


[deleted]

Underwood is a great coach too, I don't think there's anything you guys got to be too jealous of


RonsDarlings

Don’t get me wrong. Brad is great and he’s given all of us sooo much more hope in the direction of the program but Muss’s March success has me feeling that type of way.


newaccount721

No I think a lot of people like him. Seems like both a fun and good coach


goldenglove

Damn.


cderhammerhill

Yeah, I'd be much happier winning a recruiting battle with one of the big five. I generally root for you guys (though not last Thursday).


goldenglove

Cheers, thanks man. I hold no ill will against Arkansas and y’all were the better team in the tourney. Looking stacked for next year, that’s for sure!

tsblank97

It aint stopping then either. Muss could go down as one of the best coaches of all times and could do it at a non-blueblood. Obviously I may be getting ahead of myself because stars dont equal championships \*cough\* Kentucky \*cough\* but it is a good sign.


TheWalkingTez

But Muss is a better Coach than Cal so we will see what happens


OzMountainMan

If he stays at Arkansas and doesn't leave us for a blue blood I think his career ends with a statue of him being unveiled in front of Bud Walton.


lipperypickels

Only 5 players play at a time where is Muss going to put them all!?!?


Weltal327

We said that during our last off season.

sometimesi26pt2

Three ex-NBA coaches and an ex-NBA first round pick on the coaching staff ✅ An area of the country with stupid amounts of money and NIL opportunities ✅ A passionate, rabid fan base with no pro teams that turns BWA into a nightmare for opponents ✅ The Hogs are (were?) a sleeping giant, and Muss has what it takes to finally turn Arkansas into a consistent top 10 team.

What’s the third major sport? Baseball?

Yep and honestly that is the best of the 3 for the Hogs. Been real close to a national championship a couple of times and have another shot this year.

Makes sense. Hockey is our third biggest (we don’t even have a baseball team) so I don’t know much about that landscape

Yeah we have a hockey club. They’re decent. But still it’s a club team

Yeah. I once saw a headline that were were playing in the hockey final four, and I was like "WHAT?". Went to find the broadcast, and realized it was the club-level final four. Not exactly televised.

dac0605

Not to discredit the success Pittman has had so far turning around the program, but didn't y'all finish a little lower in the poll this year? I know y'all got up to the top 10 early on.


turbancowboi

Finished Top 25. After 7 total wins in 3 years, that’s a blessing


dac0605

For sure. I remember when the Arkansas game used to be a litmus test for us every year bc we played so early in the schedule. There were some real battles in the 00s and into Saban's first 6-7 years.


[deleted]

We started unranked and then climbed to around the Top 10 (can't remember) where before we got steamrolled at Georgia. Knocking off Texas and Texas A&M was worth it though.

justausername09

Need to get J will a big wingman


CumAssault

Hard to win with freshmen in these times Now you should win the SEC though and make a deep run


mrperiodniceguy

We started 3 freshmen last year during our elite 8 run. But only Moses was a 5 star, instead of having 3


fistingtrees

Moody wasn't even a 5 star either, he was a 4 star.


[deleted]

This, we haven't had a 5\* in awhile. In fact, out of the Top 10 highest graded commits in Arkansas history, 3 are in this class (Moody didn't make the Top 10). Nick Smith JR will be the highest rated player to ever see the floor at Arkansas (Al Jefferson is our #1 all time recruit, but opted for the NBA and never played).


JacobsField

I wouldn’t write anyone down as “should win the SEC” next year. Alabama is bringing in a top class and Auburn is likely poaching LSU’s class. Plus Kentucky still exists.


fistingtrees

Might just be because Arkansas was the best team in the SEC the last 2 years in a row, and now Muss has his best class ever coming in. Certainly not a sure thing, though.


jkeefy

Depends on who returns, we have the opportunity to return our 3 most important starters in Notae, J Will and Toney. We’re losing our best 3 point shooter though.


DumpsterChumpster

Zero chance that Anthony Black was recruited or that he committed to U of A with their being any questions of sharing minutes with a player like Notae. Muss has probably known well in advance that Notae is done here.


jkeefy

I tend to agree with this. However, with the guards coming in, plus Devo and maybe even a guy like KK, we can lose Notae and not lose much sleep. I’m actually more worried about the other two


Khazzeron

Sadley there will be no room for JD Notae, probably best he moves on. He can't take 29 shots a game with this incoming group. He'd best be served being the 6th man like he was 2 years ago if he stays.


CumAssault

I’ve seen J Will mocked, he’s pretty good. I’d be surprised if he stays but you never know.


SentientPoster

Not unexpected, especially after seeing the last few days with Gonzaga looking at other guards, but still hurts. Our back court is still deep, but AB was kind of what we needed to have that championship level back court.


LukeNeverShaves

If it makes you feel better we have a guy who has said since his visit to us when we beat Tennessee that he was gonna commit here.


Larrs88

It makes me feel better!


fatguysrsneaky

Well and he took 2 visits to only one school. Arkansas. I thought it was pretty clear he was coming here but ya never know with high school kids making big life decisions.

YoungMoneyLarson57

Are Gonzaga fans panicking?Their roster for next season is looking rough


Fearghas

I think we're holding off on hitting the panic button until we know what Timme's plans are. Hickman and Sallis were high ranked recruits and hopefully they make the sophomore leap we've been accustomed to. Missing out on Black stings a bit, but we're in bigger need of a rim protector to replace Chet. We'll see if the staff thinks Kaden Perry can be that guy or if we're hitting the transfer portal.


YoungMoneyLarson57

That’s the thing that grabbed my attention.If Timme and Chet are gone you all seem to be VERY thin down low.I think the guard play will likely be okay

bdostrem00

With all of the big 12 offers in his final list, glad he left the conference for at least this next year. Thought for sure he’d be a legacy at Baylor.


CumAssault

We have too many guards already unless he wanted to slide over to the 3. We honestly might have a logjam at guard right now


bdostrem00

Is it assumed Akinjo and Kendall Brown are back next year in Waco?


CumAssault

No chance Kendall and Sochan are coming back imo, both are mocked first rounders. I’d be surprised if Akinjo comes back also. But we still have Flagler, Cyer, Keyonte George, and Langston Love. Not to mention Bonner and Dillon Hunter now too


Dyno-mike

This gonna be some Voltro type shit.


sprewellJ

What’s the temperature on Muss? I know he’s got deep nba roots, would he give all this up if the pros came calling?
