Muss mentioned last year they contacted more portal players than what they were truly interested in.

[Pig Benis]

Are basketball players limited to the same transfer portal windows as football? The next one isn't until May 1, correct?

I think some of that is smoke screens for sure, some of it is that it keeps getting recruiting nerds mentioning Arkansas (free advertising), some of it is no doubt saving face for losing a kid that they wanted.


I don't imagine this aforementioned list is in any representative of what we can expect. There may be a couple of those early portal guys we are going to be super interested in. I would hope that Muss had the light bulb come on that he needs shooting, ball handling and perhaps most importantly is leadership intangibles...something I'm not convinced is presently on the roster. Likewise grabbing up kids that have been at a different school every year of their eligibility does not smack of leadership.

for football it's the 45 days starting the day after the championship selections, plus the may 1st - 15th window.

for basketball it's the 60 days starting the day after the championship selections.

for baseball it's a december 1st-15th window, plus 45 days starting the day after the championship selections.

Thank you. So the portal opens tomorrow since the selection show is tonight?

[vegashog]

according to the website i pulled that from, yes.

[rzrbkfan69]

We obviously have to go for Messiah Jones. Yelena would be a fan.

[DrMongoose]

Who departs from the roster?
Pinon, Dunning, Ford ? Do the Mitchells return?

[vegashog]

i personally don't know why any of those freshmen leave. we're losing black, smith, kamani, and counsil for sure and if davis gets a combine invite, there's no reason for him to return. those guys will have an opportunity to see significantly more playing time.

have no idea about the mitchells.

[animal]

I try not to apply any logic to guys hitting the portal anymore. It's literally up in the air each off-season no matter the sport.

We'll need some veteran guards regardless of how good the incoming freshman is...obviously I figure Ford, Pinion, and Dunning are going to get their opportunity to develop within the program. I know it's easier said than done but I really liked when we got Umude he was a guy that was a leader for that program and played 4 years...got that 5th year and took advantage. Tate too. Getting those small school guys that really want to prove some shit and tend to play with the urgency we seem to really lack on this current roster.

[Doc Hogaday]

I think Pinion stays, Dunning leaves, and Ford is 50/50.

I've heard that Diop was a lock, and Baye Fall was iffy. Then, when Fall committed, supposedly Muss told Diop that we weren't taking 2 bigs in this class. And in fact, Diop committed/signed with Colorado the same day Fall did with us. Plausible that it's true.

That leads me to believe either the Mitchells are staying, or Muss has some super secret under-the-table commits in the portal.

And hopefully that Brazile is coming back. I think he should be Muss's most important "recruiting" target in the present.

[Barton Fink]

This kid would fit well with Muss.

Nick Timberlake from Towson would cure a lot of ills. Averaged 17 pts shooting 42% from 3 and 84% from the line.

[vegashog]

tcu center eddie lampkin enters the portal.

[vegashog]

former uca guard camren hunter supposedly visited today. averaged 17/5/4 this past season.

guard demarcus sharp from northwestern st. hit the portal today and it looks like arkansas has already reached out.
southland conference poy. averaged 19.5/5/5 and shot 54.7% from three (53 attempts).

Yes please. Hopefully we were in touch before he hit the portal.

[egregious]

nice to be a program casting off underperformers downward and picking up achievers from below instead of being on the other end

still haven't figured out where we are in football, although Bama's uncontented have worked out

[AporkalypseNow]

tcu center eddie lampkin enters the portal.

Kid said the coach was abusive to him, nobody else ever complained about Dixon.  Suspect he's a headcase.

[Barton Fink]

A fat headcase at that. No thanks
