1

Barford is a 4* combo guard prospect according to 247sports. Originally from Jackson, Tennessee, he has offers from - in addition to his five finalists - Alabama, Auburn, Wichita State, and many others. He was an honorable mention juco All-American last year after averaging 20.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and 2.4 steals per game for Motlow State Community College in Lynchburg, Tennessee.

Razorbacks Provide Slo-Mo Glimpse of Dominique Reed

3

The is pretty sweet. I don't know why Arkansas chose to filter the video in sepia tones, but it's still good. That's freshman Ryan Pulley trying to guard him. Pulley's gotten rave reviews this spring and could end up on the two-deep, but he probably wishes the team didn't choose this play to highlight.

Today is finally the Razorbacks' day in Bill Connelly's advanced stats breakdowns of all 128 teams. It's a thorough guide on the Hogs' roster, schedule, and stats from last year that could be relevant this year. Check it out.

ESPN Previews Arkansas and Ranks SEC

1

ESPN's SEC bloggers break down the Hogs, their schedule, and make predictions. I agree with them in that Texas A&M is the most important game, however I also hate "most important game" rankings because obviously every game is important (well, except for you, UT-Martin). Also, they list WR as Arkansas' biggest question mark and fail to mention Dominique Reed. They have the Hogs at 8-4. In their league power rankings, they have Arkansas 5th. That's somewhat odd, because Arkansas will likely be better than 8-4 if they finish 5th in the league.

Lunardi Has Arkansas Making NCAA Tournament

8

Despite all the recent negative vibes surrounding Arkansas basketball, at least one national analyst, Joe Lunardi from ESPN, is picking the Razorbacks to make the NCAA Tournament. He has Arkansas as one of his "Last Four In", meaning Arkansas would be one of the four teams to play in Dayton. Considering the local expectations for the team, Mike Anderson should win coach of the year if this happens.

Arkansas Makes Top 6 For 4* PG Jaylen Fisher

Fisher is a consensus top 100 point guard out of Memphis. Arkansas has been on him for a long time and were expected to be a finalist, so we'll see how this goes. Hopefully, the Hogs can get him to take an official visit during an exciting weekend on campus. He'd be a really big get for Mike Anderson.

ESPN Rates McTelvin Agim 5*, #9 Overall Prospect

1

Big news for Arkansas' top in-state prospect. Agim has a top four of Arkansas, Baylor, Texas A&M, and Ole Miss, but the Razorbacks are the favorite. Nobody has made a prediction on 247's crystal ball other than for Arkansas in over a year for the Hope defensive end. Here's our 6-months-to-go recruiting class analysis published earlier today.

LB Donta Evans Commits to Ole Miss Over Arkansas

The Hogs had a shot at Evans. He was on record recently as saying Arkansas was recruiting him the hardest, but apparently he will stay a bit closer to home and go to Ole Miss. Missouri, Kentucky, and Auburn were other finalists.

4* SF/SG DeAndre Hunter Visiting Arkansas

+

DeAndre Hunter is on campus in Fayetteville today for an unofficial visit. He's a 6'7" small forward but can also play shooting guard. He's rated a 4* on Rivals and ESPN and a 3* on Scout and 247 with offers from UConn, Georgetown, Virginia, Miami, Tennessee, Oklahoma State, Maryland, Penn State, UNLV, St. John's, and others. The recruiting websites don't list Arkansas as having offered but their is one report on Twitter saying he was offered two weeks ago and Richard Davenport said he had one today, and you'd imagine he'd have one if he made the trip to Fayetteville from his hometown of Philadelphia. Seems like he'd be a good get for Arkansas.
