Aggressive vs. Stupid

Walking on Sunshine — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 13:35:08 +0000

After taking two steps forward in their stellar win against Vanderbilt, the Hogs took one giant step back in the 71-65 loss at LSU on Saturday.

While we applaud, and love to watch the attacking style of Mike Anderson’s offense, there is fine line between aggressive and stupid. The young Hogs crossed it on Saturday.

The 19 turnovers were disappointing, and not really the norm for this team. Last Tuesday, they only turned it over eight times in an up-and-down game against Vandy.

What was disturbing was watching the Hogs continually drive to the basket and either have their shot swatted away or run over somebody. The 12 blocked shots by LSU coupled with the six charges taken, amounted to 18 additional possessions that the Hogs gave away.

Many times, once the Hogs drove and got past their initial defender, they had chances to take several pull-up, wide-open 8-10 foot jumpers in the lane, only to continue on to the basket unsuccessfully. Driving toward the basket is not the same thing as attacking the rim — don’t confuse the two.

We know all of this is nothing more than watching a young team grow and learn how and when to pull up. Knowing how to drive aggressively, but still be under control. We know that. But as the “learning opportunities” continue to mount, the chances for road wins are slipping away.

We still think the Razorbacks will make the NCAA tourney if they can secure two road wins. Georgia, Tennessee and Auburn are all winnable games. Nobody’s beating us at home — nobody. But to win on the road in the SEC, you’ve got to play smarter than the Hogs did Saturday at Baton Rouge.

On The Fence

Walking on Sunshine — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 13:35:59 +0000

With football recruiting in full swing, and the basketball team relevant once again, Dave Van Horn’s Diamond Hogs quietly get back to work today with their first practice of the season.

Earlier in the week, Baseball America – a publication that typically gives the Hogs less credit than they’ve earned — surprisingly ranked Arkansas #4 in their 2012 Preseason Poll. The Hogs were one of six SEC teams ranked in the top 11. On Thursday, they found themselves sitting at #8 in the recently released USA Today/ESPN Coaches Poll.

Over the next couple of weeks, we’ll be previewing the Diamond Hogs in depth — position by position — as they get ready to start what could be a championship season. But one thing that has us scratching our heads a bit was the recent decision to move in the fences at Baum Stadium.

Our good friend UnderHog shared some photos with us this week showing the work going on at Baum to bring in the right field fence a reported 10 feet.

Baum Stadium Right Field Fence (Photo Courtesy of UnderHog)

It appears from his photo that reducing the fence 10 feet in the power alley (currently 375) might translate into a bit more than that around the area near the visitors bullpen.

The only reason we raise our eyebrows at the change is due to the fact that Van Horn and pitching coach Dave Jorn have assembled what could be one of the greatest pitching staffs in school history. Why would they offset that advantage by making it easier for the other side to hit home runs?

Van Horn argues that other schools are using the current Baum Stadium dimensions, coupled with the brisk southerly winds, against the Hogs in recruiting.

“In some games it will help us and in some games it will hurt us, but it will do the same to the other team,” Van Horn said. “This will show left-handed hitters we have them in mind.”

Current Razorback switch hitter Dominic Ficociello (.335, 4HR, 50 RBIs in 2011) might be the one player who will benefit most from the move. Some of Dom’s team-high 15 doubles last year will definitely be home runs this season.

Keep a close eye on this change and the resulting effects as the Hogs get underway in 2012. The Razorbacks host Villanova for a three-game series beginning February 17th.

Auburn Preview: Looking Forward

HogBaller — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 13:35:11 +0000

Fresh off a victory over 19th-ranked Michigan, the Razorbacks (14-5, 2-2) jump back into conference play tonight at home against the Auburn Tigers. The 8:00 p.m. tipoff will be telecast by CSS. (See here for channel information.)

Coached by Tony Barbee (2nd year, 23-27), Auburn (12-7, 2-3 in SEC) is much improved from last year thanks to a healthy Frankie Sullivan. Sullivan (6-1, 206) leads the team in scoring, averaging almost 13 points per game. While Sullivan is the perimeter threat, forward Kenny Gabriel (6-8, 209) is the inside threat combining with Sullivan to account for 37% of the Auburn offense and 35% of their rebounding.

Overall, the Razorbacks are currently 14-5 and 2-2 in conference play with 12 games remaining. Of those remaining games, the Hogs have six on the road and six in Bud Walton Arena.

Date	Opponent	Location
Wed, Jan 25	Auburn	Fayetteville
Sat, Jan 28	Alabama	at Tuscaloosa, Ala.
Tue, Jan 31	Vanderbilt	Fayetteville
Sat, Feb 04	LSU	at Baton Rouge, La.
Wed, Feb 08	Georgia	at Athens, Ga.
Sat, Feb 11	South Carolina	Fayetteville
Wed, Feb 15	Tennessee	at Knoxville, Tenn.
Sat, Feb 18	Florida	Fayetteville
Thu, Feb 23	Alabama	Fayetteville
Sat, Feb 25	Auburn	at Auburn, Ala.
Tue, Feb 28	Ole Miss	Fayetteville
Sat, Mar 03	Mississippi State	at Starkville, Miss.

The Razorbacks have a great shot at making the NCAA Tournament for the first time since the 2007-08 season, when they finished 23-12 and 9-7 in the SEC.

I believe the Hogs can finish the season undefeated at home, and will win at least one game on the road. If they can win 2-3 games on the road (which I think is possible), then they would enter the SEC Tournament sitting at 22-23 wins, only needing to win a game or two in the SEC Tournament.

What do you think? Post your thoughts on the rest of the schedule and whether or not you think Arkansas will get an NCAA Tournament bid.

What A Weekend

TipsterHog — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 13:35:33 +0000

Fayetteville was hopping this past weekend — an undefeated, record-breaking weekend.

With the gymnastics meet on Friday, the basketball game on Saturday and a star-studded lineup of football recruits here all weekend, it was a busy and exciting time on The Hill. Yes…we said gymnastics. Not something we usually cover in this space but when 5,537 fans come out to support a Razorback team, you have to at least give them a shout out.

As for the basketball game, a win is a win…especially on national television. While Hog fans would’ve been just fine if the blowout had continued, CBS had to be pleased that things tightened up. It was a good day overall for SEC basketball, as well. Along with the Razorbacks’ victory over a ranked B1G team, Tennessee, led by Jarnell Stokes, got the win over Connecticut that the Hogs wanted back in early December. (Think we could’ve used Jarnell?)

As many have said, it was like old times on Saturday in Bud Walton Arena. As football recruiting visit weekends go, however, it was a whole new ball game. Having several of the top players in the nation come into Fayetteville definitely got Razorback fans’ collective attention. Reports from a number of prospects after they returned home on Sunday were very positive, talking about how they were “blown away” by the reception they received from fans.

While no new verbal commitments were publicly made this weekend, stay tuned to our Recruiting News page and make sure and follow us on Twitter. We have a feeling there will be a lot of breaking news over the next two weeks.

And finally, since they left at halftime, the recruits didn’t get a chance to see “Super Fan” Bubba Hog perform his dance routine at the basketball game. The Michigan beat writers, however, weren’t so fortunate. As the Detroit Free-Press wrote:

“During one second-half time-out, a large, shirtless man danced, shown on the overhead screen, and held a sign showing support for “DGB,” Dorial Green-Beckham, Rivals.com’s No. 1 recruit in the country.”

Too bad DGB missed the tribute. We’re sure seeing the “support” of a “large, shirtless man” is all that was missing in order to lock up his commitment to the Hogs.

Pursuing The Elite

Walking on Sunshine — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 13:35:51 +0000

What a weekend this could be.

We typically don’t write a lot of recruiting stuff here on RazorBloggers — preferring to read our favorites Richard Davenport, Dudley Dawson, Trey Biddy and Otis Kirk. And judging by the hits on our Recruiting News links, a lot of you do the same.

But this weekend is different — our interest has gone to a new level. Twenty recruits are scheduled to be on campus, and they include some of the highest ranked players in the nation — including the #1 national recruit in wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham (6-6, 220, 4.43).

Finishing in the top five of the polls shows you just how close the Hogs are getting to reaching the top of that mountain. A few key commits from this weekend’s list of visitors could help escalate that climb very quickly.

Much of the focus (rightfully so) will be on Green-Beckham, who has Arkansas in his top three (Oklahoma, Texas), and could immediately help a receiving corps that will graduate three superstars to the NFL.

Three other recruits, though, who will be in Fayetteville this weekend have piqued our interest. These guys, if they choose to be Hogs, could be difference makers at need positions.

OL Jordan Diamond (6-6, 289, Chicago, Illinois) — Rivals.com has Diamond a 4-star recruit, and when you look at his highlight video, all he does is deliver one pancake block after another. The Hogs are battling Michigan, Ohio State and Wisconsin for this prized tackle prospect.

LB Dalton Santos (6-2, 251, 4.65, Van, Texas) — Santos is the big, inside, run-stopping linebacker that the Hogs have been missing. Watching him run from sideline to sideline shows us why he is a coveted playmaker. The Hogs are hoping for a flip here as Santos is currently committed to Tennessee.

Note to Dalton and his family…distance from Van, Texas to Fayetteville = 353 miles. Distance from Van, Texas to Knoxville, Tennessee = 800 miles.

RB Trey Williams (5-8, 175, 4.4, Spring, Texas) — We can’t help it — even with all this passing — we are dazzled by elite running backs. Williams certainly fills that bill. A current commit to Texas A&M, Williams is ranked the #2 running back in the nation by Rivals. He has tremendous speed, and looks very elusive in space.

National Signing day comes early this year: February 1st. And if Coach Petrino and the staff have a good weekend, that day might turn out to be more like Christmas for Hog fans.

SB Nation BlogPoll Ballot – Final

Walking on Sunshine — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 13:35:42 +0000

The 21-0 trip to the wood shed left no doubt. The Alabama Crimson Tide are National Champions again, while LSU, and the always entertaining Les Miles, have to be wondering “What just happened?”

We thought the BCS National Championship game was going to be another slugfest, but had no idea that only one team would show up. The Tigers acted like they could just stroll into New Orleans and pick up the trophy.

Meanwhile, Bama looked like an ultra-prepared, well coached team on a mission. Saban gets his third, while the Tide claim their 14th National Championship. Sidebar: the game was the lowest rated championship game (13.8 share) in the BCS era.

Oregon jumps up after their impressive 45-38 Rose Bowl win over Wisconsin. The Ducks, with a ton of talent returning most likely will be a Top 5 team to start 2012. Look for Oklahoma State to get some ‘protest’ first-place votes in the BlogPoll this week after their exciting 41-38 win over Stanford in the Fiesta Bowl.

The Hogs workmanlike Cotton Bowl victory over Kansas State was important – a perfect send off for a great senior class, and a tremendous spring board to recruiting and the 2012 season. With Knile Davis’ announced return, Arkansas could be one of five SEC teams in the Top 10 to start next year.

The entire BlogPoll will be released today over at SBNation.com. Until then, here’s our final RBN ballot of the season:

Rank	Team	Record	Previous	Comments
1	Alabama	12-1	2	Bama defense suffocates Jefferson, Tigers. 14th NC for Tide.
2	LSU	13-1	1	Inept Tigers finish with 92 yards, 5 first downs in Title game.
3	Oklahoma St.	12-1	3	Cowboys thrilling OT win over Cardinal gives Pokes 12 wins.
4	Oregon	12-2	7	Ducks outgun Wisconsin 45-38 in record setting Rose Bowl.
5	Arkansas	11-2	5	With Wilson and Davis back for 2012, Hogs might be Top 5.
6	Stanford	11-2	4	Freshman kicker fails Stanford, Luck in Fiesta Bowl loss.
7	USC	10-2	6	Trojans get shot in the arm as QB Barkley set to return in 2012.
8	Boise St.	12-1	8	Boise will be rebuilding in 2012 after losing QB Moore.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly — Kansas State

TipsterHog — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 13:35:20 +0000

Some random thoughts after the Razorbacks’ win in the Cotton Bowl over Kansas State.

The Good

New defensive coordinator Paul Haynes is off to a good start. The Arkansas defense, holding a decisive advantage in team speed, tackled better and stopped the run as well as we’ve seen them all season.
Bill Snyder, why in the world would you kick it to Joe Adams? The senior put on another show, taking a line-drive punt back 51 yards giving the Hogs an early second quarter 10-0 lead. The return broke Lance Alworth’s 49-yard Cotton Bowl record (1961), and solidified Adams’ legacy as the best punt returner in school history.
Honorable Mention: In his final game as as Razorback, Broderick Green came in and finished off the Wildcats in the fourth quarter. Green had 60 yards on seven carries in the second half. …. Bobby Petrino’s early third quarter decision to punt on fourth-and-2 from the Wildcat 41 might have been his best call of the night. After a timeout, Dylan Breeding’s sand wedge checked-up at the 2-yard line, putting the Wildcats in a horrible hole. Had to be a tough call for Petrino after…

The Bad

…Watching the Wildcats take the ball and drive 60 yards for an easy touchdown to start the second half. The score, which made it 19-16, was aided by Zach Hocker’s kickoff out of bounds that gave a short field to a struggling K-State offense.
Even though it was great to see them go out on a high note, it’s going to be tough to replace these 17 seniors. Adams, Bequette, Childs, Franklin, Nelson, Thomas, J. Wright…what a great run. The foundation and level of success that this senior class has established will set the bar high in the coming years.
Honorable Mention: The struggles out of the gate by the offense — no first downs and only 37 total yards in the first quarter — manifested again versus K-State. After the first quarter sack/fumble recorded by Jake Bequette and Tenarius Wright, the Hogs went three-and-out, settling for a Zach Hocker 26-yard field goal.

The Ugly

Allowing K-State’s Raphael Guidry to block an extra-point was disappointing. It was Guidry’s fifth blocked kick of the season, something that the Razorbacks and new special teams coordinator Steve Caldwell should have been more than prepared for going into the game. Credit Guidry for making a great play…but it was yet another special teams snafu in a big game for the Hogs.
The number of construction zones in and around Dallas and Arlington is absolutely staggering. Exiting the stadium southeast on Division Street took well over an hour just to get to a freeway. Maybe it’s for the best that the A&M game is (likely) moving to a home-and-home series…at least until some of the orange barrels are picked up.

Of course, we can’t possibly mention everything that was “Good, Bad and Ugly.” What did we leave out?
