2026-2027 Razorback basketball

[Show-Me Hog]

with knox and sealey we played 9.

One of these things is not like the others.

[vegashog]

but it wasn't 7 guys. sealy didn't develop quite as quickly as they thought. looks like he's coming back so he has the summer to work on it.

[Lurk]

Yeah, early on. I wouldn't mind Knox moving on. He's kind of a tweener, not super explosive and I'm never super confident when he shoots. I'm afraid Billy Richmond would still be a part time star if he hadn't gotten hurt.

[BleedinRed]

BR3 is the quasi Dennis Rodman of the team.  Unbelievable effort on the offensive side, going 100 miles an hour.  He can step out and make an outside shot but isn't really a good contested shot shooter.  He can play a little sporadic due to his speed.  His defense isn't very good.  Frankly, he can be very lazy.  I don't think of him as a star.  He is a solid role player.

I think Knox is slighly below BR3.  He isn't an off the dribble shooter.  He is a slash to the basket buy.  His motor runs a lot cooler than BR3.  His defense was a little better than BR3.  Again, a semi-solid role player who needs a little more on the offensive side to move into that full solid role player level.

I hope we get both back.  They both are solid bodies to have in a rotation.

Horrendous take on BR3. Dude was all defensive team, and we don't beat High Point without his defense in that game.

His defense isn't very good.

What? You must have watched another BR3 play.

Watch his on ball defending when screened and tell me he is an elite defender.  He gets lost and when he gets his bearing he reingages at a slow speed.  I will allow that due to his high motor he can be disruptful but he isn't the best on ball defender, I don't care what the "experts" say.

I'll honestly be surprised if Sealy sticks around.

[Olhickoryhog]

The more I think about it- our last 3 NCAA tournament teams have had major injuries to significant contributors.  I know the money is going to be tight to expand the roster and Cal likes a short bench, but I really think we need 9 guys that can be major contributors and another 1 or 2 Sealy types that can develop and potentially eat minutes if an injury happens.  If they develop and portal out- so be it.

[Jostlyn mcCocksack]

I have to think that thomas declares then comes back...he's going late first at best..come back and have a similar ,if not better, season and be a possible lottery pick.

Same with Richmond...you'll make money, and with some solid portal hits, have a chance to win the natty

[vegashog]

according to the guys close to the program, if he's in the first round, he's gone. thomas has said since his recruitment he wants to get to the league as fast as possible. will have to see.

richmond won't be drafted, he just wants feedback. supposedly penny is going to offer him a bag.

[Pig Benis]

I read the same stuff on Biddy's board. I was originally of the opinion that we would only keep either Billy or Knox due to the logjam at the 3. If they both want to come back then we should absolutely keep both. Same with Ewin for depth. The only way I see Cal going over his 8 man roster limit is if it would otherwise force him to boot one of "his guys". Retain everyone you can.

Thomas will enter the draft and if he wants to return we obviously take him back. That wouldn't be until what, June? I don't know the deadline. Would be nice to have 9 legit players + Sealy who I don't think is bad at all. Sounds like he isn't going anywhere.

[Barton Fink]

Semedo is often not mentioned. He's not like the big Bosnian, he can play. Is he far enough along to be in the rotation, I'm not sure. He's 7'2" and pretty athletic but still slim. He has a decent shot as well.

We still need a physical big, but Semedo might be part if the rotation. He redshirted due to an injury last year.

[Barton Fink]

I think he'd be the best fit from who is out there.

[Pig Benis]

So apparently Izzo was interviewed this morning and said that our game that was presumed to be at BWA next season will be instead be played in Detroit at Little Caesars Arena on Thanksgiving. I have to think we're still getting a home game against them the following year.

[flash23]

Yeah people are losing their shit on Twitter over it. I am being selfish but Detroit is 3 hours from my house, so I'm thrilled to have another game to go to.

I'm currently in Royal Oak, MI right now. All these rust belt cities look identical.

[vegashog]

except for blocks per game and ft%, cyrll's stats are almost identical to ewin's. would like to see more than 5.4 boards per.

two forwards that entered the portal in the last couple of days that they may take a look at. dawes from utah and ndongo from georgia tech. both 6'9" and 230-40, averaged 12 and 8+. pretty sure muss recruited them both his last season.

[BleedinRed]

I think we need big defenders more than big offensive guys.  It would be nice to have both but we should be able to win games with the 1-4 position if the 5 position can provide strength in the paint.  When we don't need that strength we can put 5 out there that looks similar to this years team.
