Sounds like we told Hunter thanks but no thanks. He's announced he has reopened recruitment and no longer will stick to his list of 5 schools.

Let the speculation of somebody unexpected returning or a high target transfer coming in begin.




Kevin, not sure how much he knows, said it did not impact status with Arkansas. I found that odd.

I love portaling season.

Several NBA draft guys question whether he's playing basketball for the love of the game or the lifestyle.

He probably wishes he could've skipped college and went right to NBA. Cash out and not have to give half effort once paid. Now he's going to have to try.

Might as well try here.

Even if he just plays like he did at Oregon that's valuable to us. You just can't have too many 7'+ players that aren't named Vanover

No but you can definitely have too many lazy guys that disrupts the team.

Seems like we had a bit of that this year.

From Kevin:

2 play breakdown on twitter

Good numbers in a solid conference, not a 3P shooter but that's okay at PG. Big time floor general and very smart on the floor, exactly what we needed this year.

He went from 5.5rpg to 5 and 5.5apg to 3.8 last year and WKU was quite a bit worse overall.

Would be a good replacement for AB at PG with Blocker off the bench for him and allows Devo to keep playing the 2 and splitting some PG time still.

Sounds like NSJ is dropping like a rock in draft projections.

A guy at the athletic has him 16 and says a lot on pre draft process in relation to health.

ESPN and CBS still have him 4.

Draftnet dropped him from 4 to 6 after our loss (and AB 5 to 7).

He's not going in the lottery. If he falls to mid first you say oh well. If he falls out the top 20 and he really thinks he's a top 10 talent... between the salary and endorsements I think he comes back.

yeah any projection with him in the top 10 is out of date. As long as he’s definitely a first rounder I can’t fathom him returning.

It would take something with his knee to not go lottery.

Perfect timing, NBC's Mock Draft 6.0 just dropped a few hours ago.

Never doubt the NSJ haters coming back out now that the season is over.

Putting up a goose egg against Kansas has to be a stain on his rep. I think he can ball but he didn't do himself any favors coming back.

Teams don't draft on college game performances. That meant very little.

Another reason people can't believe Anthony Richardson is likely going top 10 in NFL draft despite being terrible at UF.

It's all about potential and having the measurables.

I don’t think fans hate him. I think fans are confused by last season and his desire. They also don’t know him, so it is weird a dude that played a handful of games is so beloved by the fanbase. He also doesn’t seem like a leader for the amount of potential he supposedly has.
