4-star Duncan Powell commits to Arkansas




DeSoto (Texas) four-star Duncan Powell has committed to the Arkansas Razorbacks.
Powell, a 6-8, 200-pound forward in the 2021 recruiting class, announced his decision at approximately 7 p.m. on Thursday, choosing the Hogs over Ole Miss, TCU, SMU and others. He is the first high school commitment for first-year Arkansas head coach Eric Musselman, and the Razorbacks' first pledge for the Class of 2021.
"First, I would like to thank God for allowing me to be in this position," Duncan said in a tweet. "My parents & family for supporting me and believing in me and my abilities as a person and athlete. Secondly I would like to thank The Desoto Coaching staff, Coach Dyer, Coach G & Coach James for helping guide me along the way and never allowing me to not be the greatest I could. BIG THANKS TO Velle & Baller University, Ron D, Nick & NWA Basketball, & Coach Brian & Basketball Means More. For all developing me into the player I am now.
"Lastly, Thank you to Coach Musselman & Coaching staff for believing in my abilities and giving me an opportunity. With that being said...I will be committing to The University of Arkansas. #WPS"
Powell visited the Razorbacks two weekends ago on an unofficial visit. 
According to the 247Sports Composite rankings, Powell is a four-star prospect, the No. 160 player in the land, and the No. 29 player at his position. While 247Sports' own rankings have Powell as a three-star, it still lists him considerably higher nationally as the No. 105 overall prospect and the No. 23 power forward in the country.
Musselman and the Hogs have been busy seeing prospects in the ongoing recruiting period, and a number of prospects have lined up official visits over the next several weekends. This past weekend, the Razorbacks hosted 2020 four-star power forward Chris Moore from West Memphis (Ark.). On October 4-6, the Hogs will welcome one of the nation's elite 2020 prospects in four-star wing Kyree Walker of Phoenix (Ariz.) Hillcrest Prep.

 After hosting four-star power forward Keon Ambrose-Hylton on the weekend of October 11-13, Arkansas will host two more of its top targets on October 18-20 when four-star point guard KK Robinson of Bryant (Ark.) and four-star shooting guard Moses Moody of Montverde (Fla.) Montverde Academy make their way to Fayetteville for official visits. The Razorback football team will be hosting Auburn on October 19 and is also planning a big recruiting weekend.
Arkansas has yet to land its first commitment for the Class of 2020, which is expected to include somewhere in the neighborhood of 4-5 total signees. Here's a closer look at the Hogs' upcoming visit dates:

Jets need Brandon Allen at QB: Why the Broncos turned to Brandon Allen as backup quarterback Allen, a 2016 sixth-round NFL draft pick from Arkansas, was picked up on waivers from the Rams

I have watched this game tonight between Browns and Jets and I am convinced that the Jets who have gone through 2 QBs do not have legit QB on the team. Brandon Allen, Dak Prescott and Chad Kelly all have equivalent stats in SEC and got drafted same time.  I think if Brandon was with NY Jets he may be viewed as a star. It is 3rd qtr and no Jet QB has completed any pass beyond the line of scrimmage. Kyle Fredrickson, The Denver Post  Broncos quarterback Brandon Allen speaks to reporters on Monday, Sept. 2, after being released by the Rams and picked up by Denver. Allen will be starter Joe Flacco’s backup on Week 1 at the Raiders. By  KYLE FREDRICKSON  |  kfredrickson@denverpost.com  | The Denver Post September 3, 2019 at 6:00 am Brandon Allen described his previous 48 hours as a “whirlwind,” because he’s still spinning from a Sunday morning phone call.

THE REAL PROBLEM WITH HOGS BASKETBALL

 I posted another article about the basketball program and after 6 games I am still not impressed.  The 6-0 start and top 5 recruiting class has made Arkansas fans delusional.  But, that's how fans are.  Some fans believe if you are not bragging about the program or always thinking positive you can't be a fan.  Newsflash, it's okay to tell it like it is and still be a fan.   The real problem with the Hogs??  The inside game or rather the lack of is going to be a big problem for them.  Yes, folks that's the same problem they had last year.  Did anyone watch them play against UCA?  They got out rebounded by a team that won't come close to winning their own conference.  You heard me right.  Out rebounded by a Southland Conference team. The biggest problem last year was lack of size.  And once again it's the same problem again this year.   There are many fans that are so excited and actually believe that Muss is doing a great job.  My question is how?  There argumen

Polarizing Petrino remains person of interest

Like It Is: Polarizing Petrino remains person of interest By:  Wally Hall     Published: Thursday, August 8, 2019 Louisville head coach Bobby Petrino talks to his team during a timeout during the second half of an NCAA college football game against Kentucky Saturday, Nov. 25, 2017, in Lexington, Ky. Louisville won the game 44-17. (AP Photo/David Stephenson) When David Bazzel announced Bobby Petrino was going to speak at the Little Rock Touchdown Club this year, it sparked a debate among fans, especially on radio talk shows. Why? First, attendance is not mandatory. If you don’t want to hear what Petrino has to say, don’t go. Secondly, what did Petrino do to the University of Arkansas? Yes, he made one mistake, the same mistake that is made way too often every day all over the world. He paid dearly. It cost him his job, and he’s been tip-toeing home for chili ever since. The surprise of Petrino coming doesn’t have anything to do with him getting fired at Loui
