Jaylin Williams commits to Arkansas

Jaylin Williams has committed to the Arkansas Razorbacks.
The 6-9, 230-pound forward/center from Fort Smith (Ark.) Northside went public with a commitment video that was released via Instagram on Saturday afternoon, becoming Eric Musselman’s third addition for the Class of 2020.
Williams chose the Hogs over co-finalist Auburn, but also held offers from Oklahoma State, Texas A&M, UCONN, Illinois, TCU and several others. The Natural State native made an unofficial visit in Fayetteville on November 5 and then returned to the Hill for another visit just four days later. On Nov. 14, Williams officially trimmed his list to the final two schools and set his announcement date.
The four-star big gives Arkansas a trio of four-stars for this year’s class as he joins combo guard Davonte Davis of Jacksonville (Ark.) and shooting guard Moses Moody, a Little Rock (Ark.) native who currently attends Montverde Academy in Montverde (Fla.).
Next Thursday, the Razorbacks could receive even more good news when four-star guard KK Robinson makes his Thanksgiving Day announcement. The Bryant (Ark.) native who attends Oak Hill Academy in Virginia is down to Kansas and Arkansas. Seven Crystal Ball predictions have been made on Robinson thus far, and all seven have him staying at home to play with the three other Arkansas natives.
247Sports Director of Basketball Scouting Jerry Meyer had the following to say about Williams after seeing him live on July 19, 2019:
“Good frame and adequate length for a post player,” Meyer said in his evaluation notes. “Does have potential as an inside/outside scoring threat. Is a determined rebounder. Tough on the offensive and defensive boards. Runs the floor well and is an active rebounder. Good in ball screen scenarios on both ends of the court. Still very much developing as an offensive player.”
With Williams now on board, Arkansas' class currently sits at No. 8 in the country and one spot ahead of defending national champion Virginia. Based on the 247Sports Class Calculator, if Arkansas adds Robinson it will end up with a projected team score of 64.84, which would currently be good for fifth in the nation though several teams will continue to move up and down as more commitments are made. Based on the past four years, a score of 64.84 would be a safe bet to finish inside the top 15 with a decent shot at landing somewhere in the back end of the top ten.

Musselman's current team is off to a 5-0 start after defeating South Dakota, 77-56, Friday night inside Bud Walton Arena in Fayetteville. The Razorbacks will face their first road test on Monday with a trip to Georgia Tech (2-1). Tip is set for 6 p.m. central with the game to be televised by the ACC Network.
HawgSports will have more to come on Williams' decision and what it means for the Razorbacks' Class of 2020.

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

Image
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. Allen, a fourth-year NFL quarterback released from the Los Angeles Rams on roster cut-down d

Now or never for Razorback senior Jamario Bell

https://247sports.com/college/arkansas/Article/Jamario-Bell-Arkansas-Razorbacks-production--134243362/ Jamario Bell  has finally settled into a position at defensive end for Arkansas, and he has one more opportunity to leave his mark as a senior in 2019. Bell, 6-5, 265, played in 11 of 12 games for the Hogs in 2018, racking up 20 total tackles and 11 solo stops. Athletic for his size, the Junction City (Ark.) product showed out in a 37-33 loss to Ole Miss at War Memorial Stadium, making a tackle for a 5-yard loss, forcing a fumble and hurrying the quarterback. The big end showed flashes of greatness, but he needs to put it all together in his final season of eligibility. “Jamario, same way, now it's time,” Arkansas head coach  Chad Morris  said. “It's time. You've been here, been in the program, you're from Arkansas it's time now to really take it over the top. Really come in here and really make a difference in your position room. We've challenged him, C
