Cal wouldn't give him PT, and is already recruiting over him at Arkansas.
Big Z will be a star at Arkansas
- Thread starter smooth as butter
- Start date
Maybe in 2 or 3 years, after Big Z gets physically stronger and mentally tougher. Z strikes me as the kind of guy who would have really benefitted from getting his tail handed to him day in and day out for one season by Oscar...

With no Ugo, Bradshaw, Thiero and Mitchell JVC has no choice but to play him. With Pope’s system, he'd have been much better!
A lot of kids will flourish in a lot of places. Z has made a choice to try elsewhere. Not my problem.
He’s not a small guy at all. I got so tired of watching 6’8” guys just plowing through him. He already has the size to dominate, just wasn’t that type of player
I agree
He fit Pope's style not cal. Cal figures he can't hurt him on he's bench
Z going to the Hogs tells me a lot about cal and next year. unless he spends the summer eating gaining weight and puking on the floor hes gonna average 3 points and 2 rebounds and not have a clue how to play defense. Cal aint winning jack at Arkansas and there will be zero player development there. Were going farther than them in the tourney next year.
Sorry Smooth, but he's as slow as a cow and I just don't see it. Yes, he didn't get much playing time, but his defense was awful and his shooting was so-so aside from his first game. I wish him all the best though.
Nah, Cal will misuse him just like he did here. He will have some good games no doubt but a change of jersey won’t change how Cal coaches.
I don’t think Z is physical enough for most of the SEC, and it won’t matter anyway. Calipari won’t start him and when he plays him he’ll try n
and make him Shaq. He literally benched him for making perimeter shots.
How many games until Arkansas fans are asking the question, “why doesn’t he let Z play more and unload from 3”?
Definitely gonna visit their board when the season starts. So glad it won’t be us screaming the obvious questions all season long. And the first time they question him, they become “fanbase # 5”.

Cal won’t let him play on the perimeter and will have him down in the paint where he’s not nearly as good. Defensively he’s going to struggle in Cal’s man to man defense. Nothing against the kid, but he’s going to have to get stronger and work on post moves if he’s going to make it playing for Calipari.
Z is gonna average seven min a game. Most which will be posted in the paint. Fairly certain that going to Arkansas was a terrible financial decision for Z.
Maybe he will, but I have my doubts considering the coach there. He's gone - best of luck to him.
Go follow him big man they need more weird asses like you
