re: So is devo one of those guys that just always plays well in the tourney

I think Muss will start with the same lineup we've been rolling out lately.

How long Muss sticks with said lineup will depend entirely on how well we are playing offensively.

Defensively we will give up some size, but if were scoring it will even out.

Im as anti Vanover as it gets but we might need to try something different if to match up with Gonzaga’s size

Vanover would get bullied all game. I feel sorry for the dude. I think he lacks confidence in himself and he looks defeated on the bench. He looks scared each time he gets on the court.

I know Muss would miss in his evaluations sometimes but I trust more often than not and I don't think he would let Vanoner transfer here just to ride the bench. He showed promise at Cal and was improving but once he got here, his development stalled and didn't even gain any muscle.

I have seen other big men from other schools that are no more athletic than him and were solid contributors to those teams. I don't expect him to be a starter but damn it would help just to give some of the guys a breather once in awhile. Guys like Chris Lyles aren't completely useless and has helped Arkansas win close games. I don't see any reason why Vanoner can't contribute to the team.

I feel like with the class coming in and the possibility of some guys coming back for covid years (notae) I could see quite a few guys being asked to look elsewhere. Idk our scholarship situation so could be wrong though

I expect Davis to be back. He is likely a four year player.

Notae made a good decision to return. Going from the best scorer off the bench to be one of the leading scorers in the SEC is quite the development. So yes he is gone.
