[Pinto]

Just announced:

White team by 40

[The_Iceman]

White team has the clear advantage. Stinks Garland still mot cleared to play.

[batmanfan]

How is Cook on a roster if he is suspended from team activities? Is he back now?

I agree, Harris is good. But you basically have the starting 5(white team) vs bench(red)

[Letsroll1200]

Not having Garland could really impact the guard depth.

[Dwight_K_Shrute]

Holmes is the difference maker IMO.

pretty sure Beard and Thompson will start lol if not Bailey

[Pinto]

Yeah, Beard will have to come in for either JB or Macon and rotate those three if KG isn't available

[Pinto]

Not for long if they do. They will start for the first few games just because they are seniors but definitely not by SEC play

[Letsroll1200]

I think Beard starts

[Pinto]

I think Beard starts

I got Hall making his way into starting lineup by SEC play...

[King Kong]

I think Beard starts

I agree

[Pinto]

We would def finish in bottom half of SEC if two of the newcomers aren't better than Thompson and Beard.

beard started his freshman year man and I heard he got his body back to that form!

[Letsroll1200]

I can see us anywhere between 4-6. Will need a big year from Gafford and can CJ Jones produce off the bench. Teams are going to focus on Barford and Macon. What can the other guys do if they have a off night?

[Letsroll1200]

I would love for Hall to play his way into the starting line up. That would be good news for the Hogs.

[jjdlc]

Holmes is the difference maker IMO.

Truth, if Holmes plays, we are in good shape.

[Pinto]

I agree. We will def need CJ to produce off bench and I think Ton should come off the bench as well to give us some fire power. We could use Hall's defense and intangibles in our starting lineup. If Dan isn't better than Trey, we're in trouble...

[King Kong]

Holmes is the difference maker IMO.

Legit game changer "watch your head"




This was sarcasm

[Hogimus Prime]

White team has the clear advantage. Stinks Garland still mot cleared to play.

I really hate it for Garland.

Observations from today's practice:  http://amp.wholehogsports.com/news/2017/oct/19/observations-arkansas-basketball-practice/

[BannerMountainMan]

Oh wow the first team today was Barford, Macon, Jones, Bailey, and Gafford

[Danny J]

beard started his freshman year man and I heard he got his body back to that form!

Yes...he is definitely slimmed down. Looks like he's been working hard

[azhog10]

Lot of athleticism on that squad. Then you can bring Hall, Beard, and Thompson off the bench. DEEEPPPP!

[Rome26]

I think CJ starts.

[labb]

I got a 6 pack of Diet Dr. Peppers that says Beard will be a starter. I think we start three guards and two bigs. Beard, Macon, Barford, Thompson and Thomas.

[Letsroll1200]

Hall is going to be the X factor.

[nwahogfan1]

All of the true PGs are on the Red team.    Might be closer than you think if White team make a lot of TOs and take bad shots.  I am curious how CJ does.  We need that 3rd scorer and it might be him or maybe Beard.  But I think unless Beard has worked hard on his shot he might be too inconsistent to average 10 ppg but we can hope.  If not we need someone else and CJ would be my guess.

[hawgrunner]

Should be fun to watch!

[Hog_Swanson]

I have Holmes starting.

[BannerMountainMan]

I have Holmes starting.

i see Plummer scoring 34 in Game and Anderson puts him on the team and becomes All-SEC 2nd team

[TheRazorback500]

I was thinking the same thing. Lots of experience on the floor with that lineup.

Sorry, I forgot the /s.

[thehill1414]

Wow, when you look on paper this is a total mismatch in favor of the white. However, I would think Mike is going to keep this game as even as possible. I think this is great news that he put Barford and Macon on the same team, because that means someone has improved tremendously on the red squad so that this game is pretty close. My guess is it's Jones or Harris, and one or both of these two are about to pleasantly surprise a lot of people.

[The_Iceman]

A guy like Jones usually lights up these types of games. I expect Jones to have close to 30 points.

We only have one true pg on the this roster so no matter which team Jalen Harris got put on, that would be the case.

Completely agree unless Beard has dramatically improved his decision making over the offseason

[Big Nasty 34]

Leaving Jones as your main ball handler in the second group if we go 2 units?

Now I agree I see those 3 senior guards finishing a lot of games.

[Letsroll1200]

It's true but the game is moving away from having a true point guard. The biggest stars in the NBA game that play the lead guard position are combo guards. Curry, Harden, Westbrook, Wall, Walker etc...

Yeah but Anton would is like a 5'10" combo guard who isn't that quick and thinks he can lay the ball up over guys a foot taller...

[BannerMountainMan]

I know there's still alittle bad taste for DT from last year but I think he's going to be a big factor being this is his third year on campus!

[PonderinHog]

Won't be long now, folks.  Looking forward to a good, maybe even great, season.

Go Hogs!
