Ford and Nick Smith should be the big focus for the '22 Class. They both will most likely be top 50 players from the state.

Javon Freeman-Liberty is the latest transfer we’ve reached out to. Went for 21 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals when we played Valparaiso last year. He’d have to sit out a year then have two left.

Joe moved up on ESPN draft board, we may be losing both.

I don't understand how. He had his moments, but he was mostly disappointing this year.

He also had a bad habit of completely disappearing when we needed him most.

I love Hogs, but if I'm an NBA owner he's a guy I would take a flyer on really late once I'm just guessing.

He didn't show a single sign of being a game changer this year. He just seemed like a guy that could get hit from the 3 point line occasionally.

When he did get hot it seemed like open catch and shoot he didn't create. From an NBA perspective I just don't see how there would be much interest.

Yeah, and then there is that little thing of losing so many games while he was out ...

Not saying he doesn't have issues, but he was obviously critical to this past years team. So there must be something they are seeing that perhaps is not so obvious to mom coaches.

I mean he still ended up 7th in the SEC in scoring. His 3 point percentage went down and he missed games but a 6’5 shooter who can defend pretty well will always have a role somewhere.

From my untrained eye they both look like NBA players to me. Pretty good YouTube videos out there of Sylvan Hills vs Jacksonville if you want to check out Devo and Nick Smith Jr

While three of the four Arkansas signees dropped in the latest ESPN basketball rankings, the Razorbacks' class moved up one spot to No. 5 nationally.

Moses Moody, a shooting guard from Montverde (Fla.) Academy, dropped four spots in the rankings. He was previously rated the No. 38 overall prospect in the nation and is now No. 42.

He remains a 4-star recruit and the nation’s No. 10 shooting guard.

Point guard Khalen "KK" Robinson, 6-1, 180, of Oak Hill (Va.) Academy, went from the No. 82 overall prospect in the nation to No. 78.

The former Bryant Hornet moved up from being the No. 20 point guard nationally. He is now considered the 18th-best in the country.

Guard Davonte Davis, 6-4, 175 pounds, of Jacksonville, moved down from the No. 83 overall prospect to No. 85 and slipped two spots from the No. 18 shooting guard to No. 20.

Fort Smith Northside center Jaylin Williams, 6-10, 230, remained the nation’s No. 13 center, but he dropped two spots from No. 88 to No. 90 overall.

Feels like the trend is him leaving now but hope I'm wrong.

Musselman seems to be preparing like its a strong possibility unless he plans to process someone.

Yet the hogs went 1-5 while he was gone and went from being a tourney lock to barely being on the bubble.

Yeah, it has been hard to keep up with it to be honest.

Seems like 3-4 every day for the last few days

I hate it, with Mason and Joe back we could have been very formidable. But now???

Calm your tits.

We were on the verge of the bubble with one great player. We had another that could catch and shoot.

There wasn't a big man in sight. We will be young next year, but more of a real team.

I have faith in Muss.

I figure if Kentucky really wants him, they get him. I think we have a fair shot against the others.
