Football Four Razorbacks named Coaches All-SEC

1733861990149.png

The Arkansas Razorbacks had four players named All-SEC by the league's coaches on Tuesday.

Wide receiver Andrew Armstrong and defensive end Landon Jackson earned Second Team honors, while left tackle Fernando Carmona Jr. and linebacker Xavian Sorey Jr. were named Third Team All-SEC. All four players transferred into the program at one point, and Carmona and Sorey were both in their first seasons with the Hogs.

Armstrong led the SEC with 78 receptions for 1,140 receiving yards in the regular season. He also added one touchdown and averaged 103.6 yards per game. The former Texas A&M-Commerce transfer will not play in the Liberty Bowl matchup against Texas Tech on Dec. 27.

Jackson began the season as a preseason Second Team All-SEC selection and he kept that pace. He logged 49 tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks on the year. Jackson also will not play in the bowl game.

A transfer from Georgia, Sorey led the Razorbacks with 89 total tackles and he added 9.0 tackles for loss, two sacks, one interception and three quarterback hurries. He announced Dec. 2 that he intends to return for another season in Fayetteville.

Carmona earned SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week honors twice during the regular season following wins over Arkansas-Pine Bluff (Sept. 2) and No.4 Tennessee (Oct. 7). A transfer from San Jose State, Carmona is the first Razorback offensive tackle to earn All-SEC recognition from the league’s coaches since Dan Skipper in 2016. Carmona announced Dec. 4 he plans to return for another year with the Razorbacks.

The Razorbacks will play Texas Tech in the Liberty Bowl in Memphis on Dec. 27. The game will kick off at 6 p.m. CT on ESPN.

What to know about the Michigan Wolverines

Login to view embedded media
From @DanielFair

The Arkansas Razorbacks (7-2, 0-0 SEC) will be on the national stage for another marquee matchup Tuesday as they take on the No. 14 Michigan Wolverines (8-1, 2-0 Big 10) in the Jimmy V Classic at the iconic Madison Square Garden.

Arkansas remained outside the AP Top 25 on Monday, while Michigan jumped all the way to No. 14. The Wolverines have rattled off seven straight wins, two of which came against ranked opponents (No. 22 Xavier and No. 11 Wisconsin).

This is the seventh time the Razorbacks and Wolverines have faced off, one of which came in the 1997 NIT semifinals at Madison Square Garden. Michigan took a 77-62 win over Arkansas en route to winning the entire tournament that year.

Michigan is led by first-year head coach Dusty May, who took over the Wolverines program after a successful stint at Florida Atlantic, where he coached Arkansas guard Johnell Davis. He brought in several transfers who play main roles for the team, which includes two seven-foot big men who get the bulk of the attention.

Here's HawgBeat's preview of what you need to know about the Michigan Wolverines ahead of Tuesday's contest, including analytics, potential starting lineups and more...

Michigan personnel preview​


It's become a trend for most college basketball programs around the country, but Michigan has a newly-built roster that May put together in the offseason. He had three returners from last season's team, so he brought in six transfer players and four freshmen, one of whom has played key minutes for the Wolverines.

Michigan has a pair of big men who will be a focal point of the offense in Vladislav Goldin (Florida Atlantic transfer) and Danny Wolf (Yale transfer). They run a lot of pick-and-roll action between them in the high and low post, and it's worked well for them. They're both averaging 12.1 points per game and shooting at high marks from the field.

"We’re all pretty familiar with the team cause Nelly played for their coach, so we’ve got a little insight from him," Arkansas forward Trevon Brazile said Saturday. "We know they’re going to be physical, we know they’re going to do pick and rolls with the four and five, so we’ll go over that for the next couple days."

Goldin isn't a threat from deep, but Wolf has shown the ability to knock down the three-ball, so Arkansas will need to be on its A-game in defending the pick-and-pop.

One transfer who has previous experience against the Razorbacks is Tre Donaldson, who went to Michigan after two seasons at Auburn. He only averaged 6.7 points per game last season for the Tigers, but he nearly had a double-double against Arkansas last year as he finished with 11 points and seven rebounds in a 83-51 win at Bud Walton Arena back in January.

Donaldson has had a much bigger role at Michigan this year and has started all nine games for the Wolverines. He's averaging 12.1 points, 2.9 rebounds and four assists per game and is shooting 48.7% from the field. He's become a bigger threat to shoot the three since he joined the Wolverines and owns a 45.5% three-point percentage.

Michigan's leading scorer is Roddy Gayle Jr., a transfer from Ohio State who is averaging 12.2 points, 3.6 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game. Donaldson is the guy who runs the point, but Gayle is good at distributing the ball and has great court vision to find opportunities for his teammates.

Nimari Burnett is one of the key returners from last year's Michigan squad. He's not a lethal scorer and only averages 8.9 points per game, but he is a capable shooter, especially when he gets the ball in catch-and-shoot situations. His best offensive game came against Miami (Ohio) when he hit four threes and finished with 18 points.

Analytics preview​


The KenPom analytics have Arkansas behind Michigan in all three main categories. The Wolverines are No. 22 overall, No. 11 in defensive efficiency and No. 43 in offensive efficiency, while the Hogs are No. 45 overall, No. 75 in offensive efficiency and No. 19 in defensive efficiency.

The Razorbacks play at a faster pace than the Wolverines do, and that's how Arkansas has played its best so far this season. The Hogs are No. 77 in tempo while Michigan is No. 108.

Where Arkansas can take advantage of Michigan and use that tempo to its advantage is in the turnover department. The Wolverines average the 22nd-most giveaways in the country with 15.1 per game, while the Razorbacks force 15.2 per game on average.

If the Hogs can take advantage of the Wolverines' mistakes, it could lead to more transition offense, which is exactly how Arkansas took the win against UTSA on Saturday. In the first half, Arkansas forced just two turnovers and only scored two points off those. In the second half, however, the Hogs forced seven and scored 16.

As mentioned above, Michigan's two seven-footers are a focal point of the team's game. They run a lot of pick-and-roll action through them, but Wolf is the one Arkansas will need to focus on the most.
The Yale transfer averages a double-double with 12.1 points and 10 rebounds per game, but he also has deceptively good ball handling that can make him a nightmare to guard.

The flip side of that ball handling is that it has gotten him into trouble as well. He has the highest usage rate of the main contributors on the team at 24.3%, but also owns the highest turnover rate at 28.5%.

With such a size-heavy lineup, rebounding will be a major key in this matchup. Michigan averages 38.6 total rebounds per game and 11.8 of those come on the offensive end. Wolf and Goldin make up the bulk of those and have the highest rebound rates on the team at 20.5% and 12.7%, respectively.

Potential starting lineups​

Possible Arkansas Starting Lineup
Pos. NameMeasurablesStats
PGBoogie Fland6-2, 175 lbs.15.9 Pts, 3.4 Reb, 4.9 Ast
SGD.J. Wagner6-4, 195 lbs.8.7 Pts, 3.3 Reb, 2.9 Ast
SFJohnell Davis6-4, 210 lbs.8.4 Pts, 4.4 Reb, 2.1 Ast
PFAdou Thiero6-8. 220 lbs.19.1 Pts, 5.9 Reb, 1.7 Ast
CJonas Aidoo6-10, 240 lbs.2.7 Pts, 2.7 Reb, 0.3 Ast

Aidoo made his first start of the season against UTSA last Saturday, and with the threat down low Michigan has, the Hogs will need him to be the All-SEC-level center he is. One potential change we might see is for Arkansas to go with Ivisic (if he's healthy) at the four to add more size and length to the frontcourt.

Possible Michigan Starting Lineup
Pos.NameMeasurablesStats
PGTre Donaldson6-3, 195 lbs.12.1 Pts, 2.9 Reb, 4.0 Ast
SGRoddy Gayle Jr.6-5, 205 lbs.12.2 Pts, 3.6 Reb, 3.4 Ast

CVladislav Goldin7-1, 250 lbs.12.0 Pts, 5.4 Reb, 0.8 Ast

This starting five is what Michigan has put on the floor in each of the last five games, and it doesn't seem like it will change.

Wrapping it up​


It's not a big stretch to say this matchup is the toughest test for Arkansas so far this season. They played Baylor and Illinois earlier this year, but Michigan presents a much different challenge, and it's happening on a massive stage at an well-known venue.

The trend for Arkansas in recent games has been a slow and sluggish start, and while the Hogs were able to overcome those against Miami and UTSA last week, this is not the opponent to try that with. They need to come out fast, in-sync and firing on all cylinders so they don't have to dig themselves out of a double-digit hole like they tried to against Illinois.

For Arkansas' sake, the Razorbacks need both Ivisic and Aidoo healthy and prepared to play at peak performance. They can't have lackluster production down low and expect Michigan to not take advantage.

Arkansas and Michigan will tip off from Madison Square Garden at 8 p.m. on Tuesday. The game will air on ESPN.

Michigan scout + Arkansas keys to victory

Arkansas and Michigan tonight. Big game for both teams, but arguably more important for the Razorbacks, so how do they come away with a win? Brief scouting report and breakdown:

First, Michigan is going to attack with their two bigs, Goldin and Wolf. Wolf can and will play on the perimeter and is versatile at how he attacks the defense. Can do a post-iso, cut/curl, and move around on the wing for knockdown jumpers. He's a catch and shoot threat with the ability to facilitate when the defense focuses on him. Goldin is a more "true" interior big with more post-iso skills but is a gifted passer down low. Those two guys really make things go offensively.

To add to them, though, Donaldson is quick, quick, quick. He's probably the Wolverines' only major isolation threat in the backcourt, but is dangerous. He utilizes ball screens well and sometimes doesn't even need them to get passed his defender and to the rim.

When Michigan's offense is at its best, the Wolverines are doing one of (or all) three things: (1) getting to the rim with one of the three players mentioned above in isolation situations, (2) running a pick and roll offense and scoring at the rim or midrange level, or (3) keeping the defense off balance by creating mismatches and utilizing ball reversals to knock down open threes.

All of those have the potential to spell trouble for the Razorbacks. The Wolverines have 4-5 knock down shooters to worry about on those ball screens and ball reversals, including Donaldson.

The offense isn't perfect, though. They have a tendency to turn the ball over (15.1 per game) and the Razorbacks thrive on forcing turnovers and getting out in transition.

Arkansas' best bet to stopping this offense is to force turnovers and getting major minutes from Aidoo, Thiero, and Wagner on the defensive side of the ball. Thiero's versatility has the potential to make Wolf work harder than normal for his shots, while Aidoo has been one of the top interior defenders in the SEC when healthy for a while now. Wagner, or Fland, also really have to prevent Donaldson from getting to the cup and playing hounding defense on the perimeter.

Defensively, Michigan is pretty solid, but have issues in pick and roll themselves. Iowa utilized standard ball screens to get to the basket almost at-will. Wolverines play drop coverage and sometimes will switch, which the Hawkeyes used to get the Michigan bigs on Iowa's guards in isolation situations.

They also have a tendency to over help when the ball goes in the paint. Arkansas loves to get downhill and get in the paint with their guards, which at times has led to tough, contested shots at the rim or in the midrange. The backside corner/wing should be open if Arkansas can get penetration - just have to be able to make the pass.

A lot of times this over helping leads to giving up offensive rebounds. Michigan is allowing 12.9 offensive rebounds per game, which is one of the worst marks nationally. Arkansas is one of the worst teams nationally at earning offensive rebounds, so something's gotta give. Thiero could notch a chunk of extra possessions and baskets for the Hogs on the offensive glass with his effort and athleticism.

The Wolverines don't put opponents on the free throw line a ton, allowing just 15.4 free throw attempts per game, while Arkansas is taking 18.0 FTAs per game, led primarily by Thiero.

The Razorbacks can score on this defense using Iowa's gameplan: utilizing ball screens, creating extra possessions on the offensive glass, and scoring in transition. If Fland and Wagner can get downhill and Davis and others can knock down shots on the perimeter, it gives the Razorbacks a great shot at a win tonight.

All this said, there are a few keys to the game Arkansas has to check off in order to win:

1) Communicate on defense
- Absolutely cannot get beat in the pick and roll game off blown assignments and lack of communication. Have to be very fundamentally sound.

2) Force turnovers
- Arkansas' offense is at its best when the defense is forcing turnovers and the offense can get out and run. With the Wolverines struggling in that department, the Hogs have to take advantage.

3) Finish at the rim
- Might seem simple but the Michigan defense has a tendency to allow guards to get to the rim but will contest those shots heavily. Have to finish through the contests and through contact.

4) Earn extra possessions on the offensive glass
- It's one of the worst areas of Michigan's team, allowing offensive rebounds. Have to attack that and take advantage of that.

Arkansas defensive end Nico Davillier to transfer

Arkansas corner Jaylon Braxton to transfer

Arkansas sophomore cornerback Jaylon Braxton will transfer from the program, he announced Friday.

Braxton saw the field in the Razorbacks' season-opener against Arkansas-Pine Bluff and the Week 2 win over Oklahoma State, but a lingering knee injury kept him off the field for the rest of the year.

A 6-foot-0, 190-pound native of Frisco, Texas, Braxton was named Freshman All-SEC last season after leading the team with eight pass breakups, plus he totaled 20 tackles, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and an interception.

Braxton was a four-star recruit out of Lone Star High School in the 2023 recruiting class. He chose the Razorbacks over schools such as Michigan State, Miami, Baylor and others.

The talented cover-corner is the latest Hog to officially announce his intentions of entering the transfer portal, joining players like Joshua Braun, Nico Davillier, Isaiah Sategna and others.

The Current Landscape Of College Football Is Not Sustainable…

90% of college programs becoming Juco programs for the elite is not sustainable for the sport. We’re not a traditional power house but it’s crazy that 9-10 programs can just pluck our starters. I think Sam Pittman is an absolute lame duck of a coach, but I’m not sure it would make a difference if we had a great coach. There needs to be some sort of governing body that can get this under control or college football will go the way of the Buffalo.

Or maybe Sam Pittman and our program are just that shitty at the moment…
