2023-24 Hog's Basketball Portal talk

[egregious]

sure, he's mediocre but what else is he going to do?

This may or may not be true but my Dad told me once that AP&L tried Rocket Crockett as a meter reader after he flamed out - long legs or something like that - but he wasn't any good at it.

[Doc Hogaday]

I mean, I wish him the best but what does he think he's going to do at Mizzou and/or in the SEC this go round? Shirley he doesn't think he's going to make it professionally. Why not stay at ORU or go to some smaller school where you can dominate, or hell...come home to UALR w/ our other retreads?

[Lurk]

Well this should be interesting.

He looks like he's put on a lot of weight. He'll eventually make money from playing. You can't coach 7'3".

He hasn't put on any weight that I can tell. I saw him at Walmart a week ago. 

My kid (whose pic I've posted here) has as much muscle definition and mass, and he's 5'10".

If the best he does is play in some country for a few years that we didn't realize had a pro league, and comes out of it with a few hundred thou in the bank, he will be ahead of 99% of the late 20's crowd that doesn't have a lot of Dad's money.

If I was his coach, I'd lock him in a room with nothing but a TV. It would be playing a continuous loop of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar shooting sky hooks.

[Doc Hogaday]

I have seen him at the LRAC and instead of lifting weights or working on post moves, he was mostly just jacking up 3s.

Shooters gotta shoot dawg.

Or the footwork of Olajuwon

Or the footwork of Olajuwon

So you would encourage him to quit?  That would be the only reasonable response to studying Kareem and Olajuwon.

His best choice was probably to go dominate at UCA.  He'll have a hard time at Missouri, except for when he goes for 30 and 15 against us.

I don't see how asking him to study the footwork of a great basketball player is asking him to quit.  He could do so much more on the inside if his footwork were better.

Every coach that's ever allowed him to role-play as a 3-point shooter has done him a huge disservice.

Honestly, he is too thin to play "big man" basketball.  He is too slow to put the ball on the court and drive.  All he has is shooting.  Even then he has to be wide open.

When the fuck is that ND dude going to decide.  I need some good news to be happy about or bad news to justify spending some money on stupid shit.

I'd love to see Nelson and Brazile on the court at the same time. For anyone that hasn't seen his highlights you need to go do it. That guy is a stone cold killa.

So, he's likely headed to Bama then?

Agree. I think that's one of our best selling points. He may be the man at Bama but he and Brazile would complement each other very well on both ends of the court.

His visit ends tonight so we should hear something soon.

We're Arkansas. We're not allowed nice things.

What's the group think on this Lawson kid out of Memphis visiting as a possible portal player? He's 6-7 and that's all I got.
