I went into this weekend completely unprepared and it showed. Imma challenge my Bert peeps. Let’s get on it early this week. I’ve already run through Thursday’s card. Plan on taking on Friday’s tomorrow. Let’s collectively dive into this weekend’s cards early so we can collectively cash some tix this weekend!!! I am classically a “day of” guy but I think we’ll collectively do better if we do some advanced scouting. Who’s with me? I’ll post my Thursday thoughts when I get back to the office in the morning. @BilboHawg @SpudM70 and others, looking at y’all!

Is the 2017 class the worst recruiting class in Arkansas history. With nearly half of the class already gone, and probably more to come. Is it the result of a change in coaching staff or was it just a horrible class. Chase Hayden, Kam Curl, Jarques McClellion, and Dalton Wagner are probably the best of the class. It is still early to tell but, this could be the least productive class ever.

Where did he go? Could you imagine if we still had him on the team. I bet we'd feel a lot better about are RB situation going into next yr. I hate that he couldn't keep his nose clean!

Identical twins.

When was the last team we had a true PG that was legit?

Fortson?
PBev?

Barford, Macon, Beard, Sils, Notae, Young, and I can keep going. These are all undersized off guards that were forced in some situations into the 1 spot.

Tate has moments, but he is just careless with the ball and has very loose dribbling mixed with odd sequences where he will have more TOs than positive plays vs good competition

Devo seems to be the next guy in that conversation of forced off guards into the PG spot.Ultimately you would love KK to be the that guy next season and maybe a grad transfer?

Also Irvin, Ferguson, Jefferson, Harris etc don’t count as “good”. They were serviceable.

Just seems like every season for a while now we are a PG away or a true good 4/5 man away from being a Top25 team. Think of Gafford and Portis years if they had a blue chip PG to roll with.

Just my random Friday morning thought of the day!

Ok St in a good spot to take down number 6 Texas. Up 5 with 1:29 in OT.

Sure wish we could've found a way to win that one.

The Lady Backs beat Missouri tonight, the win was by about 8 points, not certain of that score so I made a close guess...
I saw where Dungee had I think 29 points.

Hunter Yuracheck tried his best, but the forces at play here are just too strong. There have been few, if any, performance-based termination buyout clauses since Pittman's contract.

An Arkansas-centric Look at College Football’s Obscene Buyout Situation

Hunter Yurachek did the reasonable thing. In November 2019, with the Razorbacks embarking on yet another coaching search, Arkansas’ athletic director was ready to bring some common sense back into an industry seemingly growing out of control. Firings in the previous 24 months had put Arkansas on...

We knew about all three of these, but Arkansas finally announced them...

(FOIAs have been submitted for contract info.)

They're well coached, they're young. They have some really gifted individual offensive players

Peep the fine print. And then our favorite Ole Miss dunks all over them. Damnit if @jegreenwood favorite team isn’t growing on me.

It's a bit small but maybe they'll add some more before the fall

Here is how it all went down, per Yurachek. Plus he addresses some of the main concerns fans have about such a matchup...
