Arkansas strengthened their class of 22 recruiting cycle tonight with Jordan Walsh committing

[crawfords corner]

Me thinks the Razorbacks are here to stay and unfortunately, their head coach, isn't a huge douchebag. He's actually a very likeable guy. Congrats to the Razorbacks. Of course we can dislike him because he's a HC of another SEC team, but he's no Chris Mack.

No. 7 prospect Walsh says he'll play for Arkansas

Jordan Walsh, the highest-ranked available men's basketball player in the 2022 class, announced his commitment to Arkansas on Thursday.

Pretty stoked. He can get up.

 

[Smashcat]

Yeah, I saw one service had their class #2 nationally now.

So that’s really a high school kid? He looks to me like a dude in his mid-30s.

Is that guy really a high school kid? He looks to me like a dude in his mid-30s.

He has the same condition as Charlie Villanueva had alopecia universalis so not having Hair kind of makes him look older.

Are we sure that's not Charles Villanueva? Somebody better check his birth certificate.

Good for the Hawgs. Great fanbase.

Unfortunately?

 

[Gassy_Knowls]

That's Chris Mack

 

[gharding07]

Toppin is higher?

Great-great-grandson of HOF pitcher Ed Walsh, that’s really cool

Good for R -Kansas, I enjoy seeing other SEC teams get stronger, it just helps the leagues strength of schedule.

don’t get this stance. the sec doesn’t cheer for UK in march and did we forget how arkansas fans treated the UK players in 2019?

Chris Mack wears Walsh Pajamas to bed.

 

[TheWyldKat]

I think Musselman is fake AF. I know this kid is ranked number seven? Who really cares?

 

[Lempface]

Ah it's Charlie Villanueva's kid again.

Didn't see that. Cool if true. Where did you read that?

Bad news for UK. They have a much much better basketball coach than we do. Recruiting was his only weak spot. Was.

 

[Col. Angus]

Was hoping that dude wouldn’t pick an SEC school.

I don’t get it either. No other SEC school cheers for Kentucky. That and we don’t need the SEC to be good for Kentucky to be successful.

The Walmart $$ effect.

Oh, i'll be cheering loud for you today vs. the Dawgs.

The Walmart $$ effect.

I don't really see Walmart giving out NIL deals. If anything it'll be the local car companies and businesses like that. Can't see many Fortune 500 companies wanting to get into deals with 18 year olds. Muss is just 100x the better recruiter than Anderson was and it shows.

I would enjoy Kentucky playing in prominent, national attention getting games from Jan-March instead of boring absolute shit games for 60% of the season

This post is another example of this board being a shell of what it once was. Not much intelligent thought here anymore unfortunately.

Loved his work in Prometheus

Would you like to outline the data that led you to this conclusion that you’re super confident about? Or any objective measure?

If you watch in game coaching and don't come away with the same conclusion it's because you're wearing blue tinted glasses.

Cal is elite at recruiting, team building/cohesion, and individual player growth. He's a poor in game coach. That was more clear than ever last year without him having Kenny Payne to lean on.

Musselman is a much better in game coach he just had to hodge podge transfers together. Now he's getting good recruits. They will be tough to beat for the foreseeable future

So no? And why would a coach that’s better at recruiting/team building/player development be much much worse than a guy that is supposedly better at in game coaching although there are no results whatsoever to even back that up?

I said it's bad news for UK and it is. You don't want a great coach to also start getting great players.

 

[Smashcat]

As always UK has a target on its back.

Musselman will have to prove more in the postseason before I annoint him as a better coach. I don't think poor coaches can evolve and have the postseason success Calipari has had in his career.

I hear you but being at the top of the heap SHOULD naturally create boring games for 60% of the season.
