Reggie had a really outstanding game…his best as a Razorback. Did anybody in the media ask Mike why Chaney had not played much this year? This is a mystery to many fans. It doesn’t take an expert on college basketball to see the potential and talent of the kid. Thousands of inquiring fans want to know. In my opinion, he was misused, mishandled and generally jacked around all year. Why didn’t we play Gafford and Chaney together on the front line and bring in Gabe and Bailey to substitute for them? Put your five horses out there and sub the lesser players. Chaney was playing out of position…he’s not a center. Why we didn’t go with this freshman is a mystery I have heard no one ask Mike about. If Chaney had started and played or just played a great deal, imagine how much better he would have been by tournament time. Of course, it didn’t matter…we didn’t make the tournament. But I think we would have been a better team had we played and utilized Chaney in a more positive fashion.
John Nabors podcast said Chaney had to be BEGGED to even go to Providence. And that he and several unnamed others are all but gone. Unless something drastic happens.
The rumors about this is typical when there’s so many trying to get CMA fired!
Take it with a grain of salt and forget it.
There’s no doubt he’s a good player and he should have played more. The hogs need him to come back next year!
He didn’t show a bad attitude or play like he didn’t want to be there. Also I don’t think CMA would beg anyone to go!
I criticized Mike Anderson for his management of Chaney this year, but I want to be clear…I certainly want him to come back and have a great sophomore year with the Razorbacks next year. We can’t afford to lose him…hopefully, this year is a bump in the road for Reggie, and he develops and plays like we all believe he can. He has a big upside if he can develop his offensive game.
I am not saying this is or isn’t true. What I wonder is where did this take place and which reporters saw this happen. If several reporters saw it I hadn’t read anything about it in the paper , and if any TV people had saw or heard about it I would think it would have reported on the local news or sportscast. I am like the rest I sure hope there is nothing to it .
My post was in reference to the rumor that Chaney is potentially leaving the program, which I haven’t heard directly. Also, I don’t think a guy who has to be “begged” to travel with the team to a game is going to wind up playing nearly 3/4 of that game.
