Mikka is basically a Trevon clone. A very nice piece to have, as long as we can pair him with a couple true power bigs.

Yeah he's very similar to Brazile, just raw. They are also using his old measurements he's 7 foot now.

Incredibly athletic for sure. Regardless of the outcome. Arkansas has already some of the best dunkers in the nation with Murrinen and Toure

Much higher ceiling than Brazile which is pretty crazy to say but Trevon never quite reached his either, without the acl tear who knows.

Also locks in the #1 recruiting class.

What makes his ceiling higher than Brazile? Genuinely curious. Does he have the handles/passing that would allow him to be a point-forward?

Hell no, it's another version of twiggy, but UltimateHog has to keep the page updated for hopes sake

His ceiling is lottery pick, something Brazile was never overly close to. And yes he's a great passer.

quote:

Miikka Muurinen is headed to Arkansas, the talented Finnish forward announced.

Extremely talented, skilled and athletic 6-10 forward from Finland played overseas with Partizan in Serbia this past season after playing high school ball in the US the previous season.

The 19-year-old a Top 10 talent, maybe even a Top 3 talent in this class.


It's all the mental side of things for him. The talent is as elite as it gets.

If yall are arguing over picking up a 7ft 5 star player, then that means the Hogs are in good shape lol

He is up to 223 so I think he will be fine. Once they get him on campus I am sure he will gain.

Don't think people would be so concerned if we were already more solidified defensively inside. Right now we're in position to have the same weaknesses as last year unless Bowser wildly exceeds expectations. Obviously a good get, but we still have holes in the roster so people are on edge.

Honestly that's not completely true. If our perimeter defense improves, which by all accounts it's going to, then that will tremendously help out our front court D. Love Acuff but one of our biggest problems defensively this year was that he couldn't stay in front of anyone. Really the whole team couldn't

We definitely need more beef down low, however, the defense we're going to be able to put on the wings and at point this year will make a big difference for the big guys.

That's fair. We should be better at staying in front of the ball. But when Brazile is your "force" inside, there's a lot to be desired there as well.

As it stands, we're counting on Bowser to make a huge leap.

Our perimeter D will be elite if Richmond returns as he should. But yeah Ewin/Bowser/Muurinen is only marginally better than last year and that's factoring in the better defense from guards helping out. Maybe Sealy can help out some too.

Let’s see how it shakes out in the end, roster isn’t finished.

Hopefully Miikka can remain as more of a power forward with us & isn’t needed as a true big
