Gerald Doakes scores 13 as his team won 70-64. Melvin Watkins left late in the game to get to another contest.
Doakes, said Ohio State, Louisville, Auburn and Stanford are starting to show interest. He said he plans to visit Arkansas soon. Looks like Louisville will also get a visit.
2019 SG Jaykwon Walton said he’s open to all schools. He’s talking to Thurman and feels honored to do so because he respects him as a player. He has 20plus offers including Arkansas. I caught him after a loss so he wasn’t the most talkative.
2020 SG Matthew Murrell is talking to TJ Cleveland and likes the vibe with him. He has offers from Florida, Memphis, Ole Miss, Iowa State and others. He likes Arkansas’ up and down style offensively.
He said Arkansas just recently reached out to him.
2019 forward Victor Iwuakor said he’s looking to make an OV to Arkansas sometime after Vegas. Baylor, Texas Tech, LSU and OU are some of the others he’s looking to visit. He said he would call Arkansas his home school because of his host parents attending school there. Honored to have an offer from the Hogs.
Is there a player Florida hasn’t offered. Florida offers maybet are computer generated that uses a recruiting database and spits out offers based on ratings, LOL.
2019 forward CJ Walker still saying he’s considering an Arkansas visit. He said the schools that stay in contact with him the most are the schools he’s interested in.
He plans to narrow his list soon after Vegas. I expect Arkansas to make that cut. Coach Anderson saw his latest game this afternoon.
He hit the door and stayed down for awhile after getting a knee to the thigh. He’ll be sore tomorrow.
2019 PF Dericko Williams, 6-8, 215 of CP3 said he’s looking to make an official visit in the near future. He said he and Thurman talk almost on a daily basis.
He has 14 offers from schools like Arkansas, South Carolina, Nebraska, Tennessee, Oklahoma State, Louisville, Wake Forest and others. He’s a guy that plays hard and with a lot of intensity.
2019 BJ Mack, 6-8,250 of CP3 is a new big man that’s on Arkansas’ radar. He has 13 offers from the likes of Virginia Tech, Georgia, OleMiss and others. He’s also talking toThurman and sounds very interested. He doesn’t have an Arkansas offer, but they sound like they would be a player for him if they did.
Also on Wednesday, don’t know if you noticed but, me and my wife were taking in some sites. I noticed a lot of parents and kids with team t-shirts and Razorback gear. I mentioned to my wife, everyone in AR must’ve came to Vegas to see Bruno (why we were there, our anniversary and to watch Bruno, if you haven’t seen him I’d encourage you to go). I don’t know how many were connected to the tournament, but there were a lot of hogs on display.
