You can definitely see what our recruiting pitch is
And it's a strong pitch too. Hopefully it will get even stronger next offseason if we can get JD in the lottery and find a way to get JQ and/or Keon in the late first round.

I really hope Burnett does well beyond just the obvious and immediate reasons of helping us win. That'd be two 5* transfers who struggled badly at their first schools and then excelled in our system. Being able to pitch our system as more player friendly than others with a couple of examples like that to back it up would be a really big deal.

Kentucky is the foregone conclusion, but things sound most positive for us out of the rest.
Not so sure about that anymore, seems to be more momentum heading towards Bama
Eric Bossi recently said on the Arkansas 247 boards that he think Bama leads right now
Seems the clear top 3 are Bama, Kentucky and Arkansas right now.

Well that's interesting. I mean you have to assume that the longer he holds off on committing the better the odds are for teams other than Kentucky. As was mentioned earlier, Kentucky is involved with a ton of guards so he may have taken a step back and decided to focus a bit more on places where there's a more obvious path to early playing time.

100% agree and goes along with many things our own reporters believe.
There is a general vibe in Arkansas that the kid just isn't staying home but Eric also mentioned that the key is just getting him on his official visit this fall. The worry is of course he will move his commitment date and announce Kentucky.
I believe both Arkansas and Alabama want him to stick to his commitment date and hope for different results obviously.

Kira looked really good tonight. Herb made some really good plays too and showed hustle.

Kira is developing his man body. It's gonna make him a better player. Is he even old enough to go to a bar yet?

Herb has apparently been his usual self through the first two summer league games. I think he's going to get himself a guaranteed contract.

I saw a short clip yesterday where new Pelicans HC Willie Green - who is also coaching the summer league team - was praising Herb for his efforts defensively. Called him a disruptor, said he's always in the right spots and gives great effort. Seems like they are pretty close to loving him already.
Herb should be able to stick in the league for a decade with his defensive abilities. If he ever does get to a point where he can be a reliable and consistent 3P shooter as well, he's going to make a ton of money.

Not sure. But it's probably not an issue in New Orleans.

Love the photo above of Herb finishing the ally opp from Kira. Murphy is the star of that team no doubt, and he is good, but Herb and Kira make them better. Herb had a +26 +/- score last game, +6 in this last one, Kira +16. #8 Marshall is good too.

Five-star Ernest Udeh Jr. talks Michigan, UGA, Arkansas, more.
Prior to the pandemic, I watched a big man by the name of Ernest Udeh Jr.
The Dr. Phillips big man and the 6-foot-10 rising senior out of Florida is one of the more underrated bigs in the entire class of 2022. He had an excellent showing this weekend in Dallas and was dominant for Southeast Elite. The development from when I watched him in 2020 till now has been drastic and his upside is through the roof.
Udeh Jr. is a dynamic two-way prospect. Now seen as a five-star prospect in the 2022 class. Can be a physical and dominant paint beast on the offensive end and then he reciprocates it on the other end as he blocks a high amount of shots. In addition, he is a really confident prospect and one of those guys that back up his talk.
Said this on May 25th:
His recruitment? Will keep growing.
Florida, Ole Miss, Temple, USF, are amongst the ten scholarship offers that he currently holds, a list I expect to grow with many new programs entering the mix as he has a strong start to AAU basketball after the weekend he had. So, that leaves us with this, which programs are in the mix, and have any new ones get involved?
Since, he’s landed offers from Kansas, Tennessee, Michigan, UCLA, Illinois, Cinci, Hofstra, Alabama, Indiana, amongst several others. Now, we want to hear more from him on his recruitment and commitment timeline?
Here’s Stockrisers.com’s conversation with Udeh Jr.
Which schools are heavily in the mix?
“Arkansas, Georgia, Michigan, among others I’d say have been contacting very recently.”
Any new schools?
“New schools, Memphis and Oregon reached out a while back.”
Are they still in the mix?
“Not necessarily.”
How about Michigan? What is their pitch and thoughts on Juwan Howard?
“Juwan is a great guy, one of the things I like about him is that he keeps it real. Michigan of course has a good way with bigs and the production. It really stands out to me.”
Georgia? What are your thoughts on Coach Crean and what is his pitch to you?
“Coach Crean has always put emphasis on how good of a player I am, and where I can be. Getting better every single day and being able to develop into a pro-level guy getting a second contract.”
So, discuss Arkansas? Who has Muss compared you to and will you visit?
“There haven’t really been any huge comparisons, just aspects of my game he likes and my ability to be versatile. A visit is under consideration.”
Commitment timeline?
“If I’m being honest as of right now plan is to commit, the latest, in season and sign the second period. There’s a possibility that that can change though.”
And how about a list cut? Are things speeding up on that?
“Things have 100%, the list just isn’t complete yet.”
And now, where does your game stand? What have you been working on this off-season?
“Face up to the basket and being able to go one-on-one with my matchup.”

Doesn’t sound like we are recruiting Udeh very hard.
