Arkansas state has 2 too 100 recruits coming in.
They will suck this year but next year will be very difficult.

Regardless of whether it is Bediako, Wague, or Pringle, Edey will show his best performance. I'm not saying you should give up on defending Edey, but the key factor will be to defend the other four players on the floor as much as possible, and it will be important to score more points than Purdue scores.
Today, Edey scored 35 points, 14 rebounds, and 4 blocks, but could not prevent Purdue from losing.

I actually think of the three..Purdue, Arizona, and Creighton..Purdue is the game we have the best chance of getting.

I could not believe Northwestern did not front him on defense. I don't see how anybody can stop him playing him from behind. Even on that final regulation play, NW surrounded him, and he scored at ease. We need to do what Wimp did with Melvin Cheatum guarding Shaq. And on offense, Nelson needs to post him up and rain the sky hooks on him to get him in foul trouble. Eady is a load.

This is essentially my point. Nelson at the 5 should help flip the advantage Edey will have on him on the other end, whereas Wague and Pringle will get destroyed and provide no offensive advantage against him. Regardless of who we put on him, he'll go off.
If we had someone like Bediako who could at least mitigate some of the damage he'll do to us in the paint, I think we should use it. But Wague isn't that type of defensive big and Pringle has been pretty garbage on that end of the floor this year. Not sure what's going on with him (maybe a conditioning thing?).

It's actually either top 150-200 or 125-175, depending on the service. But yeah, they're definitely going to improve. Hodgson is a recruiting monster, and the Little Rock area is an underrated hot bed of basketball talent. Kinda like Mobile with football.

Ive always felt 2nd tier/3rd tier lr talent was underrated.
A few years ago, Fla had more little rock kids on their roster than arkansas.

Bryan Hodgson and his Arkansas State Basketball Team was at the Barry Pruitt Hurricane Classic tonight. They were watching the final game of the night. When the game was over, we noticed coach and his players picking up trash. They helped pick up trash on one side of the gym. Such a classy thing to do. Thank you!

Auburn just lost to App State

Boy, top BB schools are losing to minnows on a regular basis this year. Effects of the portal? Teams not gelling right away?
Posted on 12/3/23 at 5:29 pm to My2Bits
Suddenly our situation doesn’t look near as bad as some of us were thinking compared to other “good” teams.
Duke loses again. 3 losses. Kentucky losing at home to UNC Wilmington. Auburn loses at App St. Miss St loses to Southern.

I don't think that a lot Bama Bball fans get that a loss in basketball is a lot different than a loss in football. You're going to lose in basketball even if you're a good team, Uconn lost 7 games last year in the last couple of months of the season and won the NC.

This...I believe they had a bad 2 weeks.
Remember, we haven't had an undefeated team since 1976.
