I have a good feeling about Hornsby getting the start for the bowl game.

IMO Franks is done and it’s time to give all 1 reps to Hornsby for bowl prep.

Same scenario would’ve applied for KJ if healthy.

My gut talking here, but it makes the most sense heading into hopefully what will be a normal spring ball.

Sorry if I missed it. Didn't watch the game on Saturday, but, did we have a Senior Day prior to the game? If so, who walked? Did Keem show back up? Franks?

He was pretty good for UCF prior to the knee injury. Might be worth a look if Hornsby or KJ isn't ready.

Fired today according to my wife who just called me and said it was being reported

And here we go again. The Indians name has been dropped.

This is the penultimate Big Board Notebook for the 2021 class, which has been a strange one, but a surprisingly drama-free cycle. The only decommitment of the class ended up joining the group again a few months later and it appears we're headed toward signing day with a clear picture of who will put pen to paper and who will be here in January. Grade risks seem to have been sorted out during the wooing stages of the process and they're left with a solid group committed to Pittman's vision of the program.

Since the last notebook, the Razorbacks added one more to the early enrollment list–Kicker Cameron Little announced Saturday that he'll arrive in January. Impeccable timing from the kicker after watching two missed XPs.

The List:
Lucas Coley, Ketron Jackson, Javion Hunt, Raheim Sanders, Jaedon Wilson, Marco Avant, Chris Paul, Jermaine Hamilton-Jordan, Jayden Johnson, Cameron Little

As some of you noticed this weekend, JUCO DT Isaiah Iton chose Ole Miss, just a few weeks after *almost* making it to Arkansas for the LSU game. He would've been a nice get for Arkansas, we'll see how he pans out for the Rebs when they face off next season. Arkansas did however "make the cut" for Georgia small-school DE Ian Matthews, if you can really call it a cut (7/9 offers made it). Arkansas is one of the furthest from home for him and I'm not quite sure how hard the Razorbacks are pushing for him going into early signing. He's a gamble for sure.

Cameron Ball sounds locked in, at least the commits are very confident about it. The Razorbacks not recruiting others as hard signals to me that he'll be calling the Hogs next Wednesday.

With the Razorbacks very likely adding an experienced transfer in Sam Williams from ULM as a walk-on, I don't think OL will be a top priority in the portal. It may be tempting but other positions need help more urgently in my opinion and it'd be easier to recruit Cunningham to stick around.

I've convinced myself that corner is an urgent need. I didn't get the impression that Jarques McClellion is coming back and it seems like the coaches are having a hard time with their best options behind Montaric Brown. Commit Chase Lowery is really athletic but he's not very long, neither is Parker.

Tight end seemed high priority once and it's tough to say this when we have seen (and are currently seeing) some lethal tight end play, but a proven linebacker is a more impactful addition to the team's performance for 2021, if they can only pick one.

That said, it may come down to best available and who they can sell on which position holes they can fill. They'd take one at every position if they could I'm sure.

9 DAYS.

Several interesting notes and tidbits from yesterday’s game...

Terrific QB under Rhule. Struggled with the new staff.

Tied at 34. 30 seconds left.

Florida had a 3rd stop with 2 minutes left, Florida player takes the cleaof an LSU player and throws it 20 yards down the field. 15 yard penalty to extend the drive, lol.

LSU driving down to kick a FG to win. Dumb player is dumb.

Kicked two extra points today...right down the middle. Just sayin.

As far as I can tell, today's new of Auburn firing Gus Malzahn does not alter how much Arkansas will pay Chad Morris because his three-year deal with the Tigers was fully guaranteed. Whatever he makes at his next job will offset the burden on Auburn, but unless he goes somewhere and makes MORE money - which I don't think is possible - it won't further reduce how much the Hogs have to pay him.

What's good is that it doesn't appear he had a buyout agreement with Auburn where he received only like 70% of what he was owed. If that was the case, it would increase the burden on Arkansas. I hope that makes sense.

And for a refresher, here's my column from back in February about how Auburn/Gus/Chad really kinda screwed Arkansas over with his contract: https://arkansas.rivals.com/news/column-chad-morris-hands-arkansas-another-l-

Oh, also, here's this for your reading pleasure...

Our boy Brandon Allen playing against the Cowboys right now and looking pretty good.

So I’m one that is on board with going to a bowl game if we got invited. But with the timing of the end of the season officially next week, and bowl games starting the next week, would be still be allowed all 15 practices?

Say for example we get the Independence Bowl in Shrevport, that is Dec 26th. If we don’t get notice till Dec 20th we’re going bowling, that's one week. Would be allowed to practice now even though our season is over? I’m not sure we’d get that same benefit of more practices, like we normal would in a normal bowl game. Is it even worth it now? I could have missed the way it’s gonna work this year but I’m struggling to see how that’s gonna be beneficial this year.

At Arizona. Wonder if ASU would be interested

Even with the size added this year it seems like we may be worse this year than last. We miss a lot of shots trying to score of the post and it seems to me that the majority of our points in the paint are fast breaks. We don’t really have anyone that can finish in traffic in the paint. I’m a a little concerned it could be a problem once we start getting to better competition. We have a bunch of guys that can make jumpers but lack the ability to back anyone down in the paint.

What a depressing last 5 or so games. We are beaten up and the team has quit. Not good for the mental heading into offseason. I’d be okay with not playing a bowl, due to the mental being even worse if we lose that one. Sophomore slump coming I’m afraid, and there’s absolutely nothing anyone can do about it.

And for only 208! That’s a positive! Who were the starting corners?

This was a wild game that was won on a 57 yard LSU FG (after a Florida player was penalized for throwing a shoe!)

But how in the hell does LSU not get a taunting call on the interception return (30 seconds into the clip).

Joe Foucha crossed his arms toward his own sideline and gets a drive extending flag. This guy almost comes to a complete stop, turns and faces the Florida player before walking into the end zone. Nothing.

Really curious what’s going on there...
