Hoops Catching up with Moses Moody

N
Kinda weak but the UA posted this Q&A with Moses


What were some positives from being in quarantine?
After two years at Montverde in Florida, I was able to spend time with my family before I started my freshman year in college.

What were some creative things you did to do your workouts due to the pandemic?
My workouts included running up and down the stairs at our home and putting up shots at the park.

What was something you missed about basketball during this time away?
I missed out on the national tournament. (Note: Monteverde Academy was the consensus #1 team in the country and the favorite to win the eight-team, GEICO Nationals. Oak Hill Academy, featuring fellow Razorback freshman KK Robinson, was a potential participant as well.)

What are your hobbies outside of basketball?
I like to play ping pong and I want to learn to play tennis.

You are playing your ultimate fantasy game, who is your team?
My team would be LeBron James, Devin Booker, Derrick Rose, Joe Johnson and Shaquille O’Neal.

If you had a prepaid credit card with no limit, what things are first on the list?
I would like to get my mom a boat and I want to be able to put my people in positions to succeed.

FB Recruiting HawgBeat Rankings: call for input

N
I'm going to be putting out my unofficial in-state rankings for the 2022 class of recruits tomorrow. It will be limited to those who've already received at least one Division-I offer but I wanted to open up the floor to yall to make a case for any kid you may have seen in person that I haven't, my rankings will be all off the tape.

I submit @Jbradford28's list of prospects with offers for your refresher:
https://arkansas.forums.rivals.com/threads/way-too-early-in-state-class-of-2022-rankings.103992/

Rivals will actually put out some more 2022 rankings next month but I don't know how many of all these kids they'll get to for those.

OU's Season Ticket Holder/Capacity Plan - COVID Edition

jegreenwood
May be something that we see from the Hogs soon enough:

OU is like us and set at 25% capacity. Their season ticket holder numbers are double ours and their capacity isn't much different.. there will be some mad donors that don't get in. Maybe the ability to cancel/refund tickets for the year will help not throw salt into the wound? Can see Hogs doing something similar. If they don't, they will have to get creative on how they plan to appease the masses of ticket holders this year.

OU has sent the following message to their season ticket holders, allowing them to opt out of this season without losing status. What will the Hogs do?

"Over the last three weeks various conferences have announced changes to their 2020 football schedules, including the Southeastern Conference. At this time the Tennessee game is the only game affected, but further changes to OU’s 2020 football schedule may occur. The Big 12 Conference has yet to announce any finalized decisions to the current schedule; we will communicate additional information as it becomes available.

As we’ve continuously aimed to serve our Sooner Club members and season ticket holders in the best possible way, we will work in good faith to allow you the opportunity to reallocate any unused funds made for ticket and/or donation payments once the updated 2020 schedule has been finalized. With various decisions still to be determined for OU Athletics, additional information will be shared next week to allow you to make an informed decision.

Season ticket holders who do not feel comfortable attending games due to the COVID-19 pandemic will have the opportunity to opt out of the 2020 season without losing any future seating priority. In addition, seating locations being saved for the 2021 renewal period. Those who wish to opt out will have the same options to reallocate their unused funds as outlined for season ticket holders who wish to receive tickets for 2020 in the new scheduling format. You will have an opportunity to make this decision next week.



Ways You Can Reallocate Your Unused Ticket and/or Donation Payments

  • Donate to the Sooner Relief Fund
  • Transfer Payments to 2021
  • Request a Refund as an Exception to Our Refund Policy
These options will be made available to you once the 2020 schedule has been finalized."

25% Capacity - How will that work?

Sorry if it’s already been discussed, there have been a lot of threads to keep up with today.

I’m wondering how 25% capacity will work? Is that 25% going to be whoever can pay the most? What about season ticket holders? Will they cycle and certain ticket holders only get to go to certain games?

Not that we were pulling much more than 25% capacity last year, but it seems like a nightmare. First come first serve might be the answer.

My thoughts

ryd75
Here are some thoughts I have in response to today’s news.

1) Notre Dame - If we can replace them with a more winnable SEC foe then great. If we replace them with Georgia or Florida, this sucked. Honestly didn’t care about playing Notre Dame at all this year given our recent struggles.

2) Texas A&M/Mizzou - If these games are going to be played at their home stadiums then there must be a clause that forces both of them to come to Arkansas next season. If that doesn’t happen then Yuracheck failed and got punked.

3) 10 SEC games - I am hopeful after listening to Yuracheck that he will not sit back and let us walking into a situation where we end up with two of the best teams in the East. That would be deflating before the season ever started. If strength of schedule truly matters then Arkansas should at least get a Vandy or Sout Carolina matchup out of this deal, if not both. I doubt it will be both since Yuracheck is already preparing fans for us to play a team comparable to Notre Dame. If that’s Florida or Georgia then that’s a raw deal.

4) Schedule Start time - A little later than I expected but it helps a new coaching staff like ours get the offense and defense installed along with establishing a more accurate depth chart. This is especially helpful considering we lost out on our Spring.

5) Overall - While I would have preferred a week earlier start with one non conference game against a weak opponent to give us a chance to work out some kinks, I’m okay with what they come up with. Should be a interesting year especially since expectations are really low and that’s normally when Arkansas pulls out something unexpected. (Especially since Chad Morris is not coaching them now)

Political Thread... It was fun, might be one more later.

Press Release (7/27/2020):
Trump Patriotic Boat Parade
As the waters of Lake Hamilton began to fill with boats from across the country, it was clear an unprecedented event grew beyond all expectations, in what can only be described as the single largest boat parade in Arkansas. With over 1200 participating vessels, supporters of our current president, Donald J Trump, enthusiastically waved american flags, honked horns and cheered in support of his re-election coming this November. Boats donned flags, docks were decorated by homeowners, people crowded the overpasses at all three bridges and business boomed as the supporters flocked to the Spa City for this highly successful event.
Several street side businesses popped up selling Trump paraphernalia, some having to briefly close to restock their sold out merchandise. Hotels were packed, restaurants were at capacity and the injection of revenue into Hot Springs, without a doubt, helped boost what some say has been a lagging economy.
Organizers of the event, Scott and Shari Bales of Hot Springs, said they did not anticipate such a response.
"We are truly humbled by the tremendous turnout for an event that was initially supposed to involve a small group of friends. It took on a life of its own and once people started sharing across the country it was evident we had our hands full. Fortunately friends like Brett Hacker of Nashville TN, Scott Brake of Hot Springs, Greg Igbokidi of Hot Springs, Karen Boyd of Hot Springs and countless other supporters stepped up to help take on the challenge." Shari Bales stated when asked about the event.
Donna Brinkley, of Conway summed it up by saying, "What an amazing day! Seeing all of the Patriotism, the support for our great leader, the National Anthem, the flags, the American spirit we have grown up with, and the love for our great nation! It was so encouraging, refreshing and moving to experience this amazing day. Thank you, thank you Shari and Scott Bales and ALL who organized this awesome celebration. Thank you for reminding us of WHO WE ARE and WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT!!! God bless you and GOD BLESS AMERICA! "

SEC to move to 10 game All-Conference Schedule?

jegreenwood
Will post more as I hear it, but plan as of now:

Arkansas to play conference schedule as it stands (8 games) plus Florida and South Carolina. A&M game will be played at A&M this year, A&M will make trip to Arkansas next year, then the game will return to Jerry World for the following seasons.

2 new games will be split home and away. South Carolina being the away game, Florida coming here.

We can quote this when it comes out this afternoon after the conference committee meeting.
