Van Horn Signs 20 Standouts To Razorbacks For 2021

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The Razorback baseball program and head coach Dave Van Horn announced the signing of 20 student-athletes this week to National Letters of Intent or as committed walk-ons for the 2021 season.
Van Horn, who is entering his 18th season as the Arkansas skipper, along with second-year pitching coach Matt Hobbs and third-year hitting coach and recruiting coordinator Nate Thompson, brought together what might be one of the program’s best recruiting classes in recent history.
Rated as the No. 3 class in the country according to Baseball America and Perfect Game, the Razorbacks added 12 pitchers and eight position players. Nine of the signees came from inside Arkansas’ borders, two are from the junior college ranks and nine are considered the top player of their position in their respective state. The top-three ranking is also the program’s highest since 2017 when the class consisted of this year’s juniors Casey Opitz, Heston Kjerstad and Casey Martin.
From the Skipper – Dave Van Horn“To say we have a great class is an understatement,” Arkansas head coach Dave Van Horn said. “It’s a highly touted class, but it’s been quite a process to get all of these players together. We feel good about who we have coming in and it’s a good assortment of position players and power arms. Nate Thompson and Matt Hobbs have been huge in putting this class together. I’ve been fortunate in my time at Arkansas to have some really good coaches and those two are right at the top as coaches and as recruiters.”

Van Horn isn't slowing down any.

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.

Does well-traveled Eric Musselman have the right formula at Arkansas?

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- "The Twins won again?" It's just past 6 a.m. on an offseason Tuesday. There are only two other people in the basketball weight room, but new  Arkansas Razorbacks  coach Eric Musselman -- speaking from the treadmill in one corner of the room -- is already in midday form. ADVERTISEMENT He's shuffling through newspapers and printed-out pages during his workout, tossing them on the floor when he's finished reading. On this morning, Musselman is intrigued by a story about first-year Twins manager Rocco Baldelli. Baldelli has the Twins atop the American League Central -- and he's doing it in a unique way. He gives his players more off-days. There was a "nap room" added to Target Field. He makes batting practice optional. Musselman is riveted, and he isn't even a Twins fan.

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
