Appears from Twitter that Nick Babb committed to us. He tweeted Razorbacks and his brother says he's going to be a Razorback. Big pick up if true!

I would be happy with that. We need some SG's. I would take a Center as well. ;) We would have the Bigs and backups we had in 1994. Portis could just play PF.

Thanks RazorAg, you do a great job.

Danny West just tweeted that he did commit. Awesome.

CMA and staff should be commended for a quality recruit. Welcome aboard Mr. Babb

Absolutely.

Great prospect with no ties to the state or staff. This one's clean and a big one. Babb will be a great player for the Hogs.

Agreed..... but if Turner should somehow look our way, I wouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth. I don't know where that saying comes from. I wouldn't put my head in a gift horse's mouth. ;)

Yeah, I think that ol' boy might have a shot at the making the team if he wanted to come aboard. Hopefully, one of these days we'll be able to get a package duo like that.

You can tell a horse's age by looking at his teeth.

lasthog

Looking a gift horse in the mouth...  horse's ages are very accurately judged by their teeth.  Can't remember exactly, but certain teeth are present (or not present) at certain periods of a horse's life.  So if you are gifted a horse it is bad form to "look him in the mouth" to see how old he is. Just say thanks for the horse. I'm sure others can supply more accurate information, but that is the gist of it.

Thanks... makes sense. I have seen some ladies that you have to check their teeth out though...... gift or not.

Impossible! The Mike-haters said Mike can't get a solid recruit unless there are staff connections.....

Babb is a well built 6'4 guard that will spend most of his time on the wing, but can slide over and handle the point for periods of time. Fantastic, defensively, he can guard the 1, 2 and 3. Early on in AAU, he got the nickname "Babb Island". On offense, he's a good shooter, but also an effective slasher, finisher and passer. Uses his strength to get where needs to go. Has the frame to put on good weight and really be prototypically built two guard.

I think this kid is a Top 100 level talent, having seen him in person and a little on film. He fits our style and fills a need in a good sized wing shot-maker.

As for service ratings, #127 3 star, #159 3 star, 3 star and 4 star.

WOW huge news.

CMA and staff putting it together!  Gotta hear what the haters say about the reason we got this one.

I wish, but that ship has sailed.  Cut to 8 the other day and we didn't make it.

TBH it would be nice to have Turner, but realistically would he even make our starting lineup next year?  He would have to beat out Portis or Harris and I don't think its farfetched to say that would be very tough, even with his skill level.

Not a "Mike-hater," but Babb isn't exactly a top 50 recruit either. Keep it real. Glad he committed, but we need to continue to land impact players like Portis and Kingsley that are in the top 75 range if we want to be a perennial postseason team for years to come. We're not there yet.

We are not Kentucky, Duke or UNC and have never had a roster FULL of top 100 players.  I would not expect that to change anytime soon.  We will have 3-4 really good players and the rest will be guys that fit into this system and play solid defense or are role players

Who said anything about a roster FULL of Top 100 players? Who said anything about being a top 5 program? Not me. Context, context, context.

Yup, context.  We just signed a very good player and you say what?  He is not a top 50 player, but I guess he will do.  No need to continually bring everyone down to your level of depression.  You are the Debby Downer of basketball for sure.  Wasn't always so, but oh well...

We don't "have" to get top 75 players to compete nationally. Nobody wanted Thurman, beck, and Stewart.

quick quiz....how many top 75 recruits were on the 94 national championship team?

Two....Corliss Williamson and Darnell Robinson

A few great players surrounded by a solid cast that know their role and fit the system is what we need.

We just signed a very good player.  Try to throw out some positivity every once in a while

1) We didn't "sign" anyone

2) We should be able to sign 3*/Top 150 players as easily as many other SEC schools

3) I'm glad we landed Babb's commitment, but we need to land more impact players like Powell, Young, Portis, and Kingsley. Babb isn't an impact recruit IMO.

Sorry if the facts upset you.

They were impact players, but we didn't have enough around them to win.

Big Nasty and Tank were Mickey D's AAs. Your definition of "impact" is vastly different from mine. Many of the other players were considered top 75 players, including Thurman, Beck, and Stewart. Beck and Stewart were highly thought of JUCOs whose grades scared nearly everyone else away. Crawford was a highly touted JUCO player, as was Dillard.

As is your interpretation. It's only a negative "tactic" in your mind when you disagree. Your methods of disagreeing are more "tired" than anything else I could post. Why make it about Pel or being "anti-Mike?" Stick to the topic.

You think Babb will be a stud? Prove it and keep the silly BS out of it. Right now, he's a top 150 player like JaCorey Williams was. He could be good in time, but we still need impact players that can step right in and take over when needed.

Sorry if some of us are excited about landing this guy.  He might not be a top 100, but he is still a very good player that we needed.

Sadly I have found basketball much more enjoyable when you were on ignore and I did not have to put up with your games.  Back you go.
