Arkansas class of '19

[batmanfan]

Alright...we know about Hill and Franklin would be available as a JUCO that year. But who else in state should we watch that could be high major and receive an offer from Ark? Any bigs? I can't imagine we will have room for more than 2-3 guys in that class.

Aside from scholarship numbers and style fits, here are some sophomores to keep an eye on for mid- and high-major recruiting ...

* Isaac McBride, 6-1 combo guard, Baptist Prep / Team Penny ... holds an offer from Little Rock, being recruited by Creighton and other mid-majors ... strong and skilled, a scorer lacking in facilitating skill at this time.

* Tylor Perry, 5-11 PG, Springdale Har-Ber / MoKan Elite ... true PG who is a mid-major talent now and possible high-major.

* Tim Caesar, 6-7 forward, Marion ... attended Hogs' elite camp last summer ... did not have a solid sophomore season and quit the team, but reportedly re-joined after the season ... one to keep an eye on.

* Collin Moore, 6-3 wing, NLR / Wings Elite 16U ... big piece to the Charging Wildcats' 7A-Central title and scored 19 pts to lead them in a 1-pt loss to FSNorthside in the 7A state title game ... won the dunk contest at Nike Elite 80 camp in Dallas in October, and stood out as a player there, too.

* Shawn Fudge, 6-3 SF, NLR / ARHawks 16U ... also a big part of NLR's success last season ... scored 21 pts in a game this wknd at Adidas Gauntlet with CMA and TJ looking on.

* Cole Anderson, 6-8 PF, SWChristian Academy by way of Magnet Cove / Wings Elite 16U ... transferred around the holidays to the SCA hoops factory and obviously did not crack the rotation as a sophomore playing on a talented roster of seniors and juniors, but I could tell how much stronger and better he got playing against those guys over the past 4 months. Definite mid-major prospect w/high-major potential.

* Kyle Moore, 6-5 forward, Jonesboro ... explosive and has good length, needs skill development.

* Airion Simmons, 6-4 forward, Parkview / ARHawks 16U ... big frame (looks like a DE or TE), solid skill and high Bball IQ, mobility and agility are question marks.

Great breakdown!

Kyle Moore is my nephew and I would love to see him in a hog jersey.

Solid talent but it sounds like a good year for the Hogs to not have any spots to fill, IMO. No sure-fire high-major players, it appears. It'd have been awful for 2018 or 2020 to have been the year we didn't have any spots available.
