Players to target

We need two PGs and a big man for 2019.

Our core is pretty solid all things considered:

Williams
Wright
Heron
Figgy
Caraher
Earlington
Roberts
Steere

Really not a bad core of players to be honest. Way better than the core Mullin inherited.

I know hardly anybody like Keita but for next year we need all the players we can have to stay.

I completely forgot about him. I am fine if he stays since the roster has openings.

Keita has no options unless he drops down to D2 as he will lose his junior year. He will stay and hopefully develops a bit.

He might not be as bad if we are running and pressing and he gets some coaching from Watkins.

It would be odd if some of Anderson's players from Arkansas didn't trickle over our way.

How Mitch couldn't help him is mind boggling.   

Think LJ could play point/forward for us next year?  I do.

I am hoping that Anderson reaches out to Artest immediately to get Jeron in here next year.

He's terrible.  It's not like he will ever be good. Maybe he can be a 7-9 mpg guy on a team that plays 10.

If Keita stays then we only need 1 big. However if he leaves which I highly doubt then we need 2. If we learned anything from the last few years is that size kills this team.

Need big bodies. At least 3 and preferably 4.

I am hoping that Anderson reaches out to Artest immediately to get Jeron in here next year.

Bring back Ponds and Simon

A couple of 4* freshmen, who we can hope will follow their favorite coach.  No incoming recruits that will knock your socks off.

Because once Mullin got here everyone ran for it. Heron and LJ could have bolted. It makes sense to stay.

Stranger things have happened.
And maybe Coach Anderson can convince Mack and Manuel to come back now? Hopefully he will try.

I don’t think it’s crazy for stretches but we need some ball handlers period.

Even with Simon and Mack back we are looking pretty competitive. Think Manuel comes back though with Sedee, Roberts and Steere it may not be crucial. Also, like some of you, I do think Earlington is going to pleasantly surprise us.

If this is a taste of how Arkansas played both defense and offense ... hmmm

Who is this “everyone” you speak of?
