bigtime player! lot of great schools after him…will be an incredible job by Muss if he can pull this off,he’s the exact kind of inside presence we are going to have to have to get back on the national scene.
Coach Muss and the university has bet the future of the program that the UofA is the place to come for the best shot to get to the NBA.
He will not find a more pro NBA staff and better facility in the country.
I don’t think the kid is looking for a bag of money or he would be visiting different schools. I don’t think he has a regional loyalty to anywhere. He only want to transfer to a school that gives him the best chance at being drafted.
This will be kind of a litmus test if this type of recruiting is going to work or not.
I think we have a great shot at landing this kid. Will be surprised if we don’t land him.
Honestly Arkansas and Florida are the best fits. He can step right in and fill a huge void. Florida has the edge with the hometown, Arkansas has the edge with a staff whos know for developing guys and using an NBA style approach/connections, which we are learning is a huge sell to the grad transfer market. Of course they want to win, but they want to go someplace that in one year can really improve the draft stock.
Hopefully the catfish hole and maybe a call from Lebron (favor for Moser) can win him over.
I really hope you are right. I also tend to agree with you, UNLESS, he has visited, or plans to visit TX A&M. If he takes a visit to A&M, I think they would have to be the front runner.
Do what? He’ll come in and be the top big in the SEC next year. Serious Candidate for SEC player of the year, just like he would be if he stuck around in the ACC.
I think it would be very good news for Chaney. He wouldn’t be pigeon-holed into just the 5. He may start (or play a lot) at the 4 and back-up the 5.
It probably depends on your definition of “great”, but Blackshear would be the best player on the Razorback team this season as soon as he sets foot on campus.
I guess it depends definition of “great”. I was thinking more about the lottery pick great. He is definitely very good. He is rated the #1 grad transfer. Don’t mean to demean his talent. He plus experience of Moss, Cylla, Whitt and a year of experience for returning players puts us in contention for the SEC. No doubt about that.
