[ricepig]

This makes me feel much better about next year

[bigred223]

Nice

[Adam Stokes]

Awesome.  Up to the #22 class.

[BENJAMINX]

Great pick up.

[Hogimus Prime]

Awesome

[BlakeHOGfanatic]

Very Nice!

[TomBigBeeHog]

Great pickup!!!! Woo pig!! :razorback:

Agree.  We aren't going to replace Portis, but this young man appears to have the length and he looks like an athlete.

Just for those who don't know, to link the video straight to Hogville, simply put the =dVx8PkS3QcU inbetween two sets of youtube brackets.

Like so [youtube.]dVx...[/youtube.] (take out all the periods.)

His shoulders look Dwight Howard-esque in that second video.

Great time in history to be a Hog Fan! Welcome to the family Ted!

[Hogberry Snortcake]

Alright, alright, alright.  WPS!

[Ham Sandwich]

This is huge news and it's awesome getting another African guy on the team. I hope that's a trend we continue with our big men.

He apparently can really score around the rim from what I've heard?

[ArmyOfnobunaga]

This is big big big big big big time needer player! Go hogs!

[Woopig69]

WPS!!!!!

[TheRazorback500]

Cool!

WOO PIG!!!!!! Mike Anderson and staff are having a great season this year.

[bigred223]

This should ease some of the concerns certain people have with recruiting.

[forrest city joe]

WPS -------------------------------I love it. great pick-up. this guy is even a more higher rated recruit than Whitt. both are 4 stars and top 50 players. Ted Kapita was hurt most of this year, but the talent is there. this is turning into a great recruiting class. if Portis leaves, Mike may bring in yet another 4 star. Arkansas basketball is not going anywhere anytime soon. Mike is reloading for next year. i freaking love this. GO HOGS.

I keep telling these folks that Mike Anderson knows what he is doing. this program is in good hands for years to come.

[BigSexyHog]

Greatest first name ever.  Ted is an awesome name.  Welcome to the fam!!!!

If Qualls and Portis suddenly decided to return... We dangerous

Can you say Sunday Adebayo like?

[chiefhawg]

I was thinking the same thing.

[Hogimus Prime]

If MA can get Mitchell Smith for 2016 to go along with Kingsley, Thompson, and Kapita the Hogs will have a deep frontcourt.

[The_Iceman]

This is huge for the Hogs. Helps with the likely loss of Portis.

[discombobulationist]

Wow, so happy to get this guy! Hopefully other big-time recruits are taking notice. Whitt and Kapita are some good pieces to build around.

[forrest city joe]

If Qualls and Portis suddenly decided to return... We dangerous

Yep. i think we would be a top 10 to 15 team if that happens.

[chiefhawg]

IMO in 2016 we will need another 6'5 to 6'7 wing to go along with Whitt, Monk, and Babb.

[Breems]

Oh hell yeah!

A top 50 guard and top 50 post player will be stepping on campus next year. This is what it's all about. Win a bunch of games, make yourself heard, and the recruits will come. Outstanding pickup.

I have very little doubt that he was sold on the immediate playing time we're going to have available if things (sadly but happily) go according to plan.

[latrops]

This is really good news.  Filling a need with a top 50 player.  That's what top programs do. 

[GatorHog]

Is committed the same as 'signed?'  How does that work?  Why doesn't ESPN Recruiting Nation have Ark as offering Kapita, they need to get it together.

[forrest city joe]

Yep. and it's only going to get better in the years to come. GO HOGS.

Mike is not done yet. if Portis leaves,look for Mike to bring in another big time player.

No. It's committed. Just like football to my knowledge. It can be broken, which isn't super uncommon but commits typically stuck with said commitments.

Am I wrong? Does it work differently in hoops?

[intelligence]

IMO in 2016 we will need another 6'5 to 6'7 wing to go along with Whitt, Monk, and Babb.

According to Espn we offered Frazier in this class. If Bobby goes to the NBA, we'd have room for frazier in this class. Of course, ESPN's recruiting info is usually way out of date, so there's that.

Wait, who?

[HOGINTENNESSEE]

Right now we don't have a scholly to give unless Someone leaves

Frazier looks like more of a A Harris type than a true wing player to me

The way Portis has developed and played, is now helping us recruit Big men. if K. Allen had came here, that would have been 3 top 50 recruits in one class.when is the last time that has ever happen?

[RazorAg]

Frazier is much like Qualls at the same stage. Combo forward with developing wing skills.

Could Frazier be placed in JC due to grades?

[RazorAg]

Could Frazier be placed in JC due to grades?

Fair speculation that qualifying could be an issue.  He's talented enough to have a more loud recruitment than has been the case. Not completely sure, though.  He's a good player.

[HSVhogfan2]

Don't see it happening, but if MA could talk Portis into staying AR would have an Elite eight/Final Four team. I thought earlier Qualls would test the NBA with a good season (which he is having), now I'm leaning toward him staying.

[Hogimus Prime]

IMO in 2016 we will need another 6'5 to 6'7 wing to go along with Whitt, Monk, and Babb.

2016 is going to have 5 scholarships if Qualls returns.  Will leave plenty of room for Monk, Mitchell Smith a 6'5" to 6'7" swimgman, a guard and another forward

Love it man  :razorback:

Arkansas hoops going up, up, up!   :razorback:
