ehhhh Ark went 9 deep this year and lost 6 of those 9 guys. imo Davis was their 3rd best player after Anthony Black and Ricky Council who are both going pro along with Nick Smith. they are also losing all their frontcourt depth with the mitchell twins and kamani johnson. i dont see any size on their roster next year other than brazile. they will be good but they lost more nba talent than they brought in.

They have a 5 star freshman McDonalds all American center coming in

Muss is an excellent recruiter, but not a great coach. He will always underachieve as it compares to the talent on his team. Like a squid 2.0.
 
One of my father-in-law's favorite players. He's a HUGE NDSU fan and Rohde went off against them going for 20 pt, 5r, 3a, 5s.

A 6'6 195 point guard with legit NBA scouts attention.

Virginia also added Georgetown's Dante Harris and Merrimack's Jordan Minor (two-way big with a motor for days) via the portal.

Honestly, I can see Rohde getting more PT than Dante Harris, who I'm not a fan of.

I agree with your second point, but next year isn't just a clean slate: Arkansas returns their captain Devo Davis, arguably their best player, Trevon Brazile, a top-20 recruit from last year in Jordan Walsh, as well as two other top-100 recruits from last year. Also add two top-30 '23 guys.

That being said, Arkansas' transfer haul is insane:
  • Khalif Battle 6’5 175 SR from Temple, 17.9p, 3.6r, 1.8a, 1.0s, 35 3p%, 89.9 ft%
  • El Ellis 6’3 180 GR, 17.7p, 4.4a, 1.0s, 31.9 3p% i n36 mpg
  • Keyon Menifield 6’1 170 SO from Washington, 10p, 2.9r, 3.1a, 1.1s, 33.0 3p%, 28.7 mpg
  • Tramon Mark 6’5 195 SR from Houston, 10.1p, 4.9r, 1.1s, 32.8 3p%,
  • Jeremiah Davenport 6’7 210 GR from Cincy, 9.1p, 4.2r, 33.3 3p%, 25.6 mpg
Overall, as it stands, Arkansas' top-nine for next season is insanely good.

Super talented. Still can’t shoot

That’s true, but I think the head to head matchup in the tourney shows the difference in coaching between Hurley and Muss.

Musselman is a very good game coach. Uconn was a nightmare matchup for them. One of my buddies is an Arkansas guy so i watched most of their games. It would have been coaching malpractice if hurley lost to them. He can recruit and can coach. Refs hate him same as hurley

Ehh, I think that was a roster construction thing more than in-game coaching. Arkansas just can't shoot and Hurley was able to totally sell out to avoid penetration. Hard to really do anything as a coach to counter that.

Told y’all. Jaylon Tyson from Texas Tech just entered and KU is already on him

This is exactly what they need as a replacement for Dick. Nobody with any experience to play SF for this team. Going to play dual scoring PGs, so the wing needs some size and rebounding.

Can you layout Kansas roster as of right now? There’s no good breakdowns online.

I really don't get Musselman's offensive philosophy. I can't see a team that shoots so poorly ever winning it all and he never goes after any shooters.

So who are the best CGs left in the portal? Just curious.

There are bad shooters, and there is taking terrible shots. Arkansas takes a lot of terrible shots.

He is doing a. Great job. Portal magician and 2 5 stars again this year. He is animated like hurley. Best player blew out knee early last year or far better ending

Like lose by 13 instead of 23 in the sweet 16?

That’s indisputable but that seems to be by design which is bind-boggling esp bc they have a defense designed to take away threes and layups. So they know what a good shot is.

They are also pretty poor shooters.
 
Musselman’s been recruiting this way since before the portal was so popular. His Nevada rosters were filled with transfers who didn’t quite work out at their first stops, dropped down a bit, and won. The turnover is wild, keep your roster sheet handy if you’re a fan.

Some analytics focuses WAY too much on where the shot is taken rather than the type of shot it is. All those long pull-up jumpers are just bad shots. They are usually contested, and a shot off the dribble vs. off the catch is just a more difficult shot, at any level. Arkansas takes a lot of multi-dribble, long pullups. Those are just bad, bad shots.

I dont get the MussBus hate here. He has won multiple tournament games 3 years in a row at Arkansas, I would have to think about it but think I would be fine if our next 4 years looked like his last 4

The popping the shirt off thing is doing too much imho. Everything else is hard to argue with though. Definitely part of the next generation of elite coaches.

Exactly my sentiment. He's an excellent recruiter and a very good coach. Seems like a good guy too, just keep your shirt on, bro.

If Trevon Brazile were healthy, Arkansas could have been a top-10 team and a FF/NC candidate considering how wide open this season was. Their bigs were meh and Brazile is a special talent.

Made 2 final 8’s and sweet 16 with team decimated by injuries. Uconn lost in first round as favorite 2 years he made elite 8. Place was a dumpster fire when he arrived. Watch a few games before you say the guy sucks. Lets not get all haughty and talk bad about others. Enjoy the success but if jackson leaves they will likely be better next year even with their lousy coach
