re: Why all the Arkansas hype?

I don't know, maybe because some folks can finally see what Bert is building? Maybe because they can not see any glaring weaknesses any more? (We could use better depth in a couple of spots though.)

I'm not claiming we are going to win the West this year (but not ruling out the possibility either), but from every angle I can look at the team, the coaching, the program - I only see things that have improved steadily, including this spring.

No hype, just an honest observation.
