[Biggus Piggus]

Watkins does not have to be on scholarship.

Watkins does not have to be on scholarship.

True but his dad is an assistant coach on the team.  I think that would be the last resort option.

No, it's a convenience actually.

So Watkins is off scholarship than we have 1 available for a freshman in the April signing period. I would expect they would be looking at a Big man?

The way the are actively recruiting a big man I would disagree.

I have heard there is a chance Jenkins could qualify for a RS this season. Not sure if that is correct. But that's what Dudley Dawson said on the Radio.

They're reportedly looking at multiple bigs.

As they say, it will work it self out.  I say we will sign 2-4.

If Doobie qualifies for a red shirt then that's 3 freshmen and 1 sophomore (Whitt). That still unbalanced the numbers unless they bringing in 2 JUCOs in 2017 class.

Should be more like this:

PG Beard
SG Hannahs, Macon, Jones
CG Barford, Whitt, Watkins
SF Thomas, Bailey, Jenkins
PF Thompson, Cook
C Kingsley

I see the starting lineup next year as:

C Kingsley
PF Thompson
CG Barford
SG Hannahs
PG Beard

3 guard lineup with two 6'10" bigs. Whitt will learn some point and Thompson will split time with Cook.

Bench lineup:

C Dembele (I hope, or some other big)
PF Cook
SF Thomas
SG Macon
CG Whitt

That would be some pretty good depth there. Most we have seen in a while.

Anybody heard anything on McGriff? I wonder if he is committed to OSU or maybe just Ford? I am curious to see what happens there. I would still go after those two big fellas.

[Hogimus Prime]

Seems like Arkansas has always had unbalanced classes
