Thank you for choosing to be a Razorback.

[Brandon Baker @BBakerHogs]

@SwinerBock New podcast episode coming tomorrow where we’ll breakdown position by position where the roster currently stands.

🚨 ROSTER UPDATE 🚨

Meleek Thomas has decided to leave his name in the NBA Draft.

This was not totally unexpected, and Arkansas still has fine depth in the backcourt.

Here’s where things stand. #WPS

[Brandon Baker @BBakerHogs]

@K_Money4real No decision made yet.

[Brandon Baker @BBakerHogs]

@vector751 He knew Amere Brown previously, and Amere is on campus making Tik Toks with the new team already, appearing to be a part of next year’s roster.

Don’t think Amere had anything to do with the decision.

[Brandon Baker @BBakerHogs]

@Brooks_Muse3 Yes

[Brandon Baker @BBakerHogs]

@jlong914 No waiver decisions have been made to my knowledge. Could still be months before we know.

[Brandon Baker @BBakerHogs]

@SammySeeger No waiver decisions have been made to my knowledge. Could still be months before we know.

[Brandon Baker @BBakerHogs]

@jlong914 Waiver guys and international guys is about all I got right now. Nothing new that’s not already been floated at some point.

[Brandon Baker @BBakerHogs]

@jlong914 Starting big

[Brandon Baker @BBakerHogs]

@UncleRollie_ That rule has not gone into effect yet to my knowledge. I believe there’s another vote or something in June.

[Brandon Baker @BBakerHogs]

@anthonycal13 I can almost guarantee they will not get three more rotation players.

I would be surprised if they got two more rotation players.

Wilkinson was brought in with the knowledge that Leek might not come back.

[Brandon Baker @BBakerHogs]

@anthonycal13 Bowser is going to be a good backup. They really just need one more big. Two would be amazing but one would be enough.

[Brandon Baker @BBakerHogs]

@JuanDalyII Starters don’t matter as much as total minutes, but if I had to guess right now

JSJ
Wilkinson
Billy
Miikka
{Unknown big} / Bowser

Need to fill the starting center role and it’s a solid team.

[Brandon Baker @BBakerHogs]

@anthonycal13 One good big is all that’s missing.

Losing Meleek hurts the offense but there’s enough shooting. Could never expect to replicate last year’s offense, and the defense is already miles better.

It’s still a good team missing one piece.

[Brandon Baker @BBakerHogs]

@anthonycal13 Yes it is. Not complete, but it is good.

[Brandon Baker @BBakerHogs]

No official announcement from Meleek Thomas at the withdrawal deadline.

Doesn’t necessarily mean anything one way or another, paperwork can be done privately without the announcement.

Might have to wait on the official NBA list once all paperwork is processed. #WPS

[Daniel Fair @DanFair88]

John Calipari to Billy Richmond over the course of the last 30 minutes

[Brandon Baker @BBakerHogs]

@TLoeschner49727 @UnbiasedBrim1 I don’t think it is true based on what I’ve been told, but I haven’t spoken directly to the source so. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[Brandon Baker @BBakerHogs]

🚨 ROSTER UPDATE 🚨

🚨 FULL 180 🚨

Billy Richmond has switched course and decided he WILL return to Arkansas next season after initial reports indicated he was staying in the draft!

Huge pickup for the Hogs that bolsters the wing position, experience, defense, scoring, playmaking and a lot more for this roster.

One more decision to be made tonight, here's where things stand. #WPS

[Brandon Baker @BBakerHogs]

@UnbiasedBrim1 I don’t believe them. Not claiming that I know 100% either way, but have good reason to believe there was a legitimate change of heart.

[Brandon Baker @BBakerHogs]

@ryeguy184 @JBuccille Could not care less about Jon or his credibility. Speaking on information provided to me and posted elsewhere.
