Ford's only hope of ever playing significant minutes at Arkansas is to be an assist-heavy facilitator PG who plays good defense.


I never really saw 'it' from him in his limited playing time. That being said, the kid seems like he works his arse off and is passionate about being a Hog, so I wouldn't be surprised to see him come in next year and look like a totally different player.

If he can become a Desi Sills-like player, then he'll find some playing time.

I think Coach scared many of them from shooting and staying in their role. He was mortified to ever shoot.

I'm more excited about Menifield than I was yesterday. It's going to be nice to have a guard that's a legitimate threat to cause havoc off the dribble. That's why I wanted Abmas. Not sure when we had that last. Lykes was supposed to be that but I don't think he really lived up to it. Guess we'd have to go back to BJ Young.

Tramon Mark is a potential Devo replacement.

I've had that thought too, which is odd when you consider how Notae had no leash.

I watched the kid multiple times in high school. Kid is an absolute freak athlete. I watched him with my own eyes dunk from the free throw line in the 10th grade.

I mean, I will certainly defer to folks that have seen him play more than the 10 minutes of game time I've watch. It very well could have been a situation like another poster suggested, where he was playing to not screw up instead of being playing aggressively.

Whenever he saw the court, he was playing within the role that Muss told him to play, which was play defense and distribute the ball. He was listening to his coach and not trying to do too much for no reason.

Notae was a Junior/Senior who had shown it on the court before

Arkansas is in on Cryer ...

Dude can light it up, however he wants to play PG and we just got one...

Menefield (sp?)

Also, More smoke from NLR on Ware still being a possibility. I am to the point on Ware where, he needs to make his mind up. Too many handlers messing around here for me

Someone on On3 crystalled balled Ware to Arkansas today.

Also, just saw a tweet that we did a zoom meeting with Hunter Dickinson yesterday.

I doubt anything comes of that one but my god we’d be preseason top 10 for sure if we landed Dickinson, Ware, Menifield and someone like Battle or Cryer.

Those are just based on some computer algorithm they have rather than any actual info.

So is AB the only one we're still waiting on to declare. Today should be his day if they're going one at a time.
