Thoughts on the newest Hogs commitment from out of the Sooner State (and yes, we are going to update Green's position and ranking and re-evaluated as a RB moving forward)

DVH covered a ton of stuff in this 30-minute presser. I'll be writing several stories from it, probably over the next week...

Here's what DVH had to say about Opitz going undrafted + what it means for the roster... https://arkansas.rivals.com/news/casey-opitz-set-to-return-to-arkansas-after-going-undrafted

Found a rug online for my office on some sketchy Chinese site I've never heard of, ordered it, and didn't receive any confirmation for about 3 weeks and totally forgot about it.

Door rang today and I had a package from China. Figured I was gonna get scammed but it turned out to be real.

Gotta work out the wrinkles but I'm pretty happy with it.

With Coley on board at No.10, Arkansas is ranked No.40 in the nation and 9th in the SEC. If everything holds through next Tuesday and Arkansas gets both AJ Green this weekend and Devon Manuel on Tuesday then they'll move up to No.29 in the nation and 7th in the SEC.

"Take off the sunglasses, Casey." Haha. I'm gonna miss this guy.

Jayden Johnson is an ATH in Georgia that has caught fire in recent weeks. He's added numerous offers and more are on the way.

Sam Horn is a 2022 in Georgia to know. He is a two-sport star with two-sport offers and Arkansas is on his list.

Day 2 of the MLB Draft, which consists of the final 123 picks from Rounds 2-5, begins at 4 p.m. CT and will be televised on ESPN2 and the MLB Network. Everyone buckle in for six hours of picks.

I still expect Casey Martin and Casey Opitz to both get drafted. If you want a breakdown of which signees who could go pro and which could make it to campus, click here.

Masyn Winn and David Calabrese are still the guys I definitely expect to get drafted. Tink Hence could be interesting, but I still bet he gets drafted and signs pro. The other name to emerge recently is Jaxon Wiggins.

Hearing from some KU folks that ol’ Jeffypoo is squirming in his seat these days.

Things are a little tense with the NCAA alleging serious allegations, but Jeff is knee deep in depositions for not paying a $3mm buyout to David Beaty.

Prevailing thought is he’ll try to force a shake up on the basketball staff as a sacrificial lamb (which would eventually cost him his job), or accept some sort of resignation package to make all the Beaty stuff go away.

Either way, any good will he had left is long gone.

Going to be in Russellville next Thursday - Sunday . Last time I was down I tried to go to coltons and drink at the bar and there wasn’t one to be found. Any you folks from the area know of any of water in holes that will be open with the virus stuff going on ?

Things are moving fast and I like where Arkansas is with a third offensive lineman, Devon Manuel. Manuel had initally been wanting to wait things out and take visits but the Hogs have turned up the heat.

From Rivals affiliate Yahoo Sports' Pete Thamel:

The return of college football season officially took a giant step forward on Thursday.

The NCAA Football Oversight Committee passed a recommendation that coaches can begin formally working with their teams on July 13, sources told Yahoo Sports. The committee essentially laid out the practice guidelines to allow players to return safely prior to the traditional four-week football training camp.

The committee’s recommendation still needs to be approved by the NCAA Division I Council, but that step is expected to be a formality. The NCAA Division I Council meets next week and will vote on this on June 17.

Here’s the schedule as laid out by the Football Oversight Committee. Schools can begin to have access to their players on July 13, which would include strength workouts and coaches engaging in film study with their players. (It would be a week earlier for teams involved in Week 0, as they’ve been told they can start July 6.) According to the language discussed on the football oversight call, summer access “may begin 25 calendar days prior to the first permissible preseason practice date.”

Those eight-hour weeks would transition to a pair of 20-hour weeks on July 24, which have been added in part as a safety measure to help get players physically prepared for the season. These have been discussed by the group as being comparable to NFL OTAs, as they’d include walkthroughs and a ball.

This would lead to the training camp starting date on Aug. 7.

The NCAA granted schools the ability to hold so-called voluntary workouts with their players on June 1. This came after the NCAA lifted the moratorium on athletic activities.
