Arkansas landed another in-state commitment this afternoon. I posted this in the baseball recruiting thread, but wanted to share it in its own thread so everyone would see it. Here's my scouting report on him...

Sebastian Cappelen, fresh off a made cut, will tee it up in the star studded field at Torrey Pines.

With @jegreenwood in timeout I’m looking for other ‘bert brethren to share any stories of playing legendary Torrey Pines. Who do you like this week? Does Finau finally get a W?

Anyone looking at anything good?

Lost a good one. RIP Coach.

If I were to bet on this one, it feels like an OSU -2 bet.

Yikes, poor guy was nervous

Several times recently I’ve seen the amount of games played and number of “road” wins for Hog coaches. Anyone have that link? Someone asked about it and not sure where I saw it.

Assuming we run a straight man like we have most of the year, who do you think is tasked with guarding Cade?

Muss has said Tate will pretty much guard the opponent’s best player, but is that the best case here? I think we’ll see multiple guys on Cade throughout the night, but a lot of it depends on if OSU runs their three-guard and/or four-guard lineup.

In the three-guard set it almost had to be Moody or Tate, but if Smith is 100% I’d like to see him on Cade in the four-guard with Jaylin in the post to utilize a potential size advantage.

The real question is how to play the help side on Cade. Do you sell out on help and make other players beat you, or do you run a standard help scheme and trust the on-ball defender to keep Cade from getting downhill? Over or under on screens? I’d assume over since he’s shooting 39% from three, but he’s a threat to drive obviously too. Maybe go matchup zone? Run the risk of getting in an unfavorable matchup there. Same with a switch. Those will give the defense better angles to cut off drives and a head start on defending, but could also lead to Notae or Sills guarding 6’8” Cade.

I’m not concerned about Musselman getting the best defensive gameplan possible to slow down Cade. Execution is another thing. Muss’s Xs and Os knowledge are so far and above any of our recent previous coaches. And this whole post is a very watered down version of anything he might run, but just curious what some of y’all’s thoughts are. As a basketball junky I love game planning matchups haha.

I go once every 2 years to horse track for fun. $100 for all day for small bets, food, couple drinks and to people watch, no clue what I’m doing but have a blast
Been to tunica and Vegas several times, same deal, $100 try to sit at black jack table as long as I can with minimum bets, food, drinks and people watch.

I’ve seen a few post about track this year, seems a little disjointed so far.
I want to go end of Feb or early March

So 3 questions
1. For the track, hows the atmosphere and process been for a non serious gambler, one who just usually enjoys environment?
2. How’s the black jack tables at Oaklawn? Crowded and a pain or pretty laid back?
3. Saracen, is it worth going to pine bluff to check it out? How are the eats? Food / resultant worth the day trip?
- I would image their black jack tables are more what I’m looking for verses a crowded Oaklawn table on a race day?

Thoughts? TIA

Anyone going? My son and I are going Saturday. Daughter has a soccer tourney in Dallas so we’re going to swing by after and watch Ole Miss/Texas Tech and Texas/Arkansas on Saturday.

If anyone wants to meet up we can sit together and get drunk and stuff.

Nikki and I wrote three stories from Yurachek's presser last week (all of which are linked inside my story, ICYMI), but there were still several other topics he touched on that we hadn't written about. I threw them all together for a notebook...

So I’m not quite sold on kj’s passing ability. Yeah I think he played a heck of a game at Missouri! But if you go back and watch that game again and focus on him he misses a lot of easy passes. He definitely has a pretty good deep ball. And that helped his numbers that game. If he polishes up his passing this spring he has a chance to be the man. The big thing with him is his weight. He came in at like 220/225 I think. And was pretty dang quick at that size. If I’m not mistaken when he played the Missouri game he was 250/255 which made him not quick at all. He looked chunky. I think this spring and summer he will take workouts more seriously knowing he has a chance to be qb1. So they need to cut him back down to 220ish and I think he will look a lot better running the ball than he did at Missouri. Not saying he can’t be the guy. Just don’t want to see him at 250 and missing easy passes come spring or id love to see Hornsby instead.

Smith won't practice today but he will tomorrow. Tate had to go to the dentist and Desi's fine

Do we send out a flyer...
