What we need to do is add really good players that are better shooters than the ones we currently have
I think that's inferred. No one is suggesting that we go down to the local rec league and pick up the first 45 year old, overweight white dude with eligibility left that can hit 5 threes in a row.

Goforth Returns Home, Signs With Razorbacks
Goforth Returns Home, Signs With Razorbacks
quote:
Head Coach Mike Neighbors’ roster reset is well underway, as Neighbors announced the signing of rising sophomore guard Sasha Goforth today. A Fayetteville native, the former Oregon State player announced her decision to transfer on Monday, and signed with the Hogs just two days later.
“The bright future of our program just got brighter with Sasha Goforth coming home to Fayetteville,” Neighbors said. “She returns to the very place we all watched her lead the ‘Purple Dogs’ right across the street from Bud Walton. Sasha had an amazing year, earning All Pac-12 freshman team honors, and gained irreplaceable experience competing out west. That experience will be critical, as she joins our returning core of Makayla Daniels, Marquesha Davis, Amber Ramirez and Erynn Barnum. She will be a great leader for our incoming freshman class. Lastly, she and Elauna Eaton will finally get to wear the same uniform as the two most decorated players from our great in-state high school programs.”
Goforth is coming off of a standout freshman season at Oregon State, as the 6-foot-1 guard started every game this season, averaging 11.6 points and 3.6 rebounds per game. Goforth ranked third in scoring behind Aleah Goodman and Taylor Jones for OSU. Goforth brought her multidimensional game to Corvallis, as she tallied 34 assists and shot 36 percent from beyond the three-point arc, but was also good defensively, tallying 19 blocked shots and 15 steals. As a result of those numbers, Goforth earned Pac-12 All-Freshman honors for the 2020-21 season.
During her freshman season, Goforth had several big games, including two 20+ point performances, and a double-double against Utah. Goforth also has a knack for blocking shots, as she had 19 of them in 20 games played at OSU. That mark would have been the third-best mark on Arkansas’ roster last year despite the Hogs playing in eight more games.
A highly touted high school recruit, who played her high school ball at Fayetteville High School under Vic Rimmer and her club ball for Nate Sadler, Lee Shannon and Brian Morgan with the Arkansas Banshees, Goforth was rated as the No. 7 player in the nation according to Blue Star Basketball at the time of her signing. She also finished as ESPN’s No. 21 overall player in the class of 2020. She came into college well decorated, as Goforth was a three-time All-Arkansas honoree and was the Arkansas Gatorade Player of the Year in 2019. She was one of six girls in the nation to earn an invite to the exclusive boys Under Armour SC30 Select Camp, while also making the state All-Tournament Team twice.

Musselman on the 3 seniors: "They're all going to move on. I know for sure with Jalen, Justin and Vance, I assume, they'll try to get their pro careers started. I had that convo with Jalen yesterday. Justin really helped himself a great deal. They're not coming back."

Pefect Moody replacement.
Averaged 14, 6 and 2 on 46% shooting.
Had good games against the likes of Duke, VT, GT, Syracuse and Miami.
Wait, does he have to sit out or no?

Good hands to on defense. Physical player, can guard the 4

Toney is a good pickup for the Razorbacks adding more size, length and versatility to the roster. The lefty is an effective slasher, capable playmaker and shooter who can defend multiple positions and rebounds well for his position.
His numbers this year were very similar to Moses.
Another lefty too.

Musselman on Kamani Johnson: That guy is physical. I had to tell him to back off sometimes in practice. High free throw attempt player. He’s got great strength, and he can get you in the bonus early. He’ll put a ton of pressure on the rim.
Sounds like Muss is excited for him next year.
KK update

Musselman said they are not going to rush KK Robinson (foot) back. He is wearing his boot half the day, and it’s off the other half. We want slow, methodical rehab. There’s no reason to push it right now when we can be patient.

Oh shite we going to reload and be a vengeance and devo at the helm it sounds like.

Looks like we could get up to 4 transfers, with Tiney being the first domino.
Also, apparently Musselman said today "don't believe everything you hear about Arkansas", as it pertains to transfer Contacts and interest level.
He said they may place a call to a kid, but it doenst mean both parties are really Interested. Apparently many of these calls are smoke screens to try to keep other teams guessing who Arkansas is really going after or really interested in.
So, when you see a kid who says he's been contacted by Arkansas, it may not be mutual.
