Pat Beverley and S. Welsh

[labb]

Will both be back at the University of Arkansas per Dudley Dawson on the Radio just now..Also Henry has signed and Dudley thinks that we are really strong with Williams..Good Golly Miss Molly!!! Pel is on a roll.

[Hogginitall]

what about Washington?

[BradyHolzhauer]

Very nice!

[craftyhog]

If Dudley said it on the air they're probably both half way to USF by now. Just kidding. Good news. I remain the eternal skeptic until the men themselves make a statement.

agreed  Dudley Dawson is as much of a source as any average guy on here.  He just happens to be on radio.   Ill wait until the players themselves actually say something

[Adam Stokes]

So if this turns out to be true, than the likely to transfer after next season are Britt, and....  We need at least three spots open and I don't see Payne or Bev leaving early after next season.  Maybe one of the skinny PF's in Moore or Clark, but you hate saying a kid out of high school won't be be back as a sophomore since we haven't even seen them play.  Good thing this kind of stuff "always works itself out".

We need only 2 open scholly's   Just enough room for Walton and Gulley.     I dont really want Favors...   Id prefer players who will stay here for a while

I understand what you mean about having kids here for more than one year.  It's nice to get to know who they are.  It's also nice to win championships.  One and done players will get you there.  This is another reason why the two year requirement is better for the college game.

Guards are nice to have but we don't need them right now.  We should try for Walton, Williams, and Trent.  Shoot for the moon with Favors and Stephenson.  Maybe a center if we get lucky.

[gohogsgo006]

But what would that leave us for the 2009 class?  I thought that Pelphrey didn't want to be in the situation were he was graduating 6 or 7 guys at one time. 

Do you want to win now, or in a couple years?  If we win now, we will get the good recruits in those "later years"

[COCHISE]

I'll believe it when I hear it from KNWA.

[farmhawg]

We need the best players we can get right now. I like Pelphrey's attitude in changing this team. For the better I might add.

[Pork Twain]

Who says all these guys are going to stay until they graduate?

[deucea729]

Who says all these guys are going to stay until they graduate?

Plus were there not a couple of JuCo's in that mix?  If so, that staggers the schollies a bit.

We dont need Gulley AND Walton...We need one or the other..and I just got done watching Favors play at the Real Deal tourney...We want Favors, even if its just for a year..I can promise you that..That kid is amazing..

[hogfan0307]

what about Washington?

Everything said about Washington is just rumors

[The_Bionic_Pig]

I'll believe it when I hear it from KNWA.

Oh the heart-attacks I had during the Coaching search...

[bigchad]

I saw him watching the real deal on the hill at the hyper.  I also show Darian there also.

[idiotghos]

I saw Darian there too.  They had a couple of really exciting games.

[NuttinItUp]

Did you ask him if he is leaving?

[gohogsgo006]

he aint leaving

[hillhog]

Great news

[bsking]

anyone saying we dont want or need favors is crazy.  this kid is the type of one year player that takes you to the championship.  it could be an amazing year.

[HawgAdvocate]

Pel had as sit down with PB after hearing about the Facebook stuff...clearing the air so to speak..Pel had got a call from Robby Edwards (Assosicate SI Director) alerting him to the news of PB's Facebook announcement.

I dunno if PB is truly staying or not..but Welsh and PB are pretty tight. I'm going to think PB must have changed his mind after talking to Pel. Maybe PB wasn't going to get his scholarship released to where he wanted to go. It could be a number of things that happened in that conversation. Who knows?

Either way, we'll be fine. I'm glad we have both of them for next season (if Dudley is right).

any chance of REDSHIRTING clark or moore to even out the numbers?

[HawgAdvocate]

As thin as we are up front, I don't see how that can be an option.

[farmhawg]

We will need all of them on the floor next year.

[bigchad]

Pb was talking to one of the student trainers

[jdlew]

I know the word is that he is staying........But why would he want to leave

[bsking]

who knows.  maybe he wasnt garunteed the amount of pt he wanted.  maybe he doesnt like pel.  could be anything.  we have a ton of talent coming in and maybe he feals threatened.

cant see it though.  beverley plays harder on the court than anyone from recent memory.  i love the kid, so glad he stayed.

[Beaverfever]

Pel might not be the easiest person to get be coached by...I've heard horror stories.

[3kgthog]

Pel might not be the easiest person to get be coached by...I've heard horror stories.

Like he is demanding, pushes them, expects perfection? Or he coaches them Bob Knight style and abuses them?

I got the feeling it was/is a Tim Dial situation. He liked the former coach and the ease of practices and the overall easy atmosphere. Now that he is being asked to sacrifice and work twice as hard he is having second thoughts about staying. I just stayed at a Holiday Inn Express 4-5 years ago so I don't really know anything though.

[3kgthog]

If Rotnei Clarke is as good a shooter as advertised and Fortson is a more controlled Kareem Reid then it's going to do wonders for Beverley's game. I hope he realizes that.

[opineonswine]

I am a PB fan, but I've seen him at practice.  he's not always what you guys think or are making him out to be.  Him not returning may not be his decision...you ever think of that?

[Hogtropolis™]

I've seen you say this twice now.  What is the deal.  What would be the reason for him leaving?

[chillinhoggie]

Pelphrey doesn't want him? They have a personality clash?....not making the grades?.... not giving the hustle in practice?
There are literally hundreds of reasons......

[arkansasmaniac]

I talked to beverly on campus yesterday and he is staying, so stop all the idiotic rumors.

[Porkatarian]

Again, you guys should listen to opine.  It may not be Patrick's decision.


Porkatarian out...

[arkansasmaniac]

I guess the guy actually telling you that he's staying doesn't mean anything?
We'll see.

Idk Just that he is one hard nosed MF when the cameras are turned off.

Again, what's the deal?  Why is it not his decision?  What would be the reason for him leaving/having to leave?

[RazorAg]

agreed  Dudley Dawson is as much of a source as any average guy on here.  He just happens to be on radio.   Ill wait until the players themselves actually say something

Curious.  Who do you think is a better source on our bball program?

[TMc]

JMO.., Dudley seems to be in tune with the basketball program better than he is in football.  I guess Clay seems to help out with the football more.  Richard does all well..., and Otis seems to be in tune with football more. Again, jmo from reading all for the past 3 years or so.

[sasnakrafan]

I like scoop for my inside info.

Very accurate assessment.  When it comes to bball I trust dudley and I don't even particularly care for the guy. 

[AnthroHog]

Found this on RT.

[mbgrulz]

Dudley is very good on Hawg Hoops info. esp. recruiting. I have been a paying member for a while now, and DD Hasn't been wrong on a recruit yet. DD is actually respected by the BB coaches, and he is respectful back.

Hawgsports.com is a waste of money if you are a BB recruiting guy like me. Otis is ALWAYS way behind, and never has as much info as DD.

[Baconator]

Isn't there a new rule that is being implemented that is going to make players stay at least 2?

It hasn't been agreed upon, and even then it would be a few years before it takes effect.

[The Hog]

The TV sports news ask Pel about it last night (4 out of LR).  Pel answered that Beverly was happy, working out and a Razorback.  Why is the media even asking this type of question? 

[Tomhog™]

We need only 2 open scholly's   Just enough room for Walton and Gulley.     I dont really want Favors...   Id prefer players who will stay here for a while

We'd be taking a step back if these are our only 2009s.  You'd seriously turn down a Derrick Favors?  He's the type of player that takes you to the top (granted a good supporting cast to go with him).  Even if he is only here for a year or two.  As proved with the last class, being here 4 years doesn't guarantee a deep run in the tourney.

We get Clarence Trent, Shawn Williams, and Jenniro Bush, we'll be sitting pretty in the SEC.  IF we get Favors (which means one of the above would likely get left out), look out!
