2026-2027 Razorback basketball

[PHARMHOG]

I'd take Brazille back in heartbeat. He really committed to Arkansas and improved every year. Ended up being one my favs over the past several years.

If Finnish can be a Brazille type then that is good. Need that type player and motor.

[DirkPiggler]

I know it's hard to believe, but this Finnish could looks like a more athletic Brazille.  He is definitely more skilled...better handles and a better shot...quicker and more natural release.

I don't know about more athletic (Brazile was a freak - athleticism wasn't what held him back), but probably comparable.  Definitely more skilled at this stage of his career. 

If we add either of the two guys I mentioned above, we should be much better situated than last year.  Bowser is probably comparable to Pringle...hopefully he can catch the ball.  Semedo will be available in a pinch to take up five fouls and a few emergency minutes if needed.  Add both Ekezie and Handlogten and the team has as high of a ceiling as any we've had in decades.

I think you can drop the qualifier "at this stage of his career".  He is more skilled than Brazile.

I hope so.

[The Whyte Boar]

I hope so.

Well, I'm pretty sure Brazile never hit a dagger 4th quarter 3 over Jokic in international competition.  So this kid has that going for him at least.

[Boarat]

Still wish we could find a bruiser experienced big. Maybe the dude from UCF.

[vegashog]

the guy from florida would fill that roll depending on how things shake out with the d1 committee meeting today. 5 for 5 could be voted on next month and start for the fall semester.

the lack of waivers so far seems to be because the ncaa is waiting to see the timeline, if any, that happens with that.

[Ray Zorback]

So we're supposed to be getting this 7' 5* kids mikka muurrinen from Finland. Says he's more of a brazile type player.

I read this as 7'5", and then I read 'more athletic than TB'. 

but I'll take 6' 10"

He has recently been measured at a legit 7'0 and 225.  The 6'10 measurement is last year.

I read somewhere that the 6'10" measurement was without shoes.

Fortunately for the Hogs nearly all players wear shoes during games. 

[The Whyte Boar]

So anonymous ACC and SEC coaches on X are saying he has attitude issues.  Of course they said that about Acuff too.

Who was the player we had that threw his shoe during the game?

[animal]

We're not winning shit until we get some Larry Johnson types to go with the Stacey Augmon types. 

[Ray Zorback]

found it

Jacorey Williams spent three years with Arkansas basketball from 2012-15, a time in which he is most remembered for tossing teammate Rashad Madden's shoe back onto the court during an NCAA Tournament game. He transferred to Middle Tennessee State, where he earned C-USA Player of the Year honors, and has averaged 9.8 points and 5.3 rebounds for the Herd.

I take it as sour grapes. But we'll all see soon enough I guess.  They are going on a foreign tour this summer.  So basketball is right around the corner.

I can't find any info on a foreign tour this summer.
