Honestly, just running through it for the first time I came up with 24-6. That may be a bit optimistic.

Whats the scouting report on ole miss and arky?

Marshawn Powell is still not fully recovered from his season ending injury last year (ACL I believe). He should be ready to go in October and most likely will see some action on the teams Italy trip.

The big wild card for the Razorbacks will be if by surprise they get news that transfer Alandise Harris (Houston) is eligible to compete this year instead of sitting out.

Very average incomg recruiting class with the top performer right now being JC transfer Coty Clarke.

Arkansas 17-4 at home last year. B.J. Young did not have the best summer at the various camps he attended. Confirming he made the right choice returning to school for his Sophomore year.

The OP again seems to be on point. I expect an all out dog fight at Arkansas with Arkansas probably opening -2 1/2 -3 pt favorites at home.

Both should be W's barring any unforeseen injuries. Have to agree with the passionate OP on that 1.

It is worth noting that Tennessee struggled mightily on the road last year. You'd hope to see that improved, but I'll believe we sweep trips to DC and Charlottesville when I see it, even if Tennessee should be better than both G-town and UVA.

Overall 23-7 SEC 13-5

I feel that's pretty unbiased and realistic, I initially had us beating Florida and Ole Miss, so 25-5, but I think 23-7 sounds more likely.

Not trying to sheep out here, but I am there with you at 23-7 and 13-5. Disagree slightly on what those losses might be, but overall, we are pretty close.

First, I believe there will be a full season. The Mayans are wrong.

Second, with Tatum gone the sky is the limit.

Arkansas better pray that Powell is half the player he was last year because they were a train wreck in the post. That's why losing Stokes hurt so bad for them because I don't think they really addressed that issue in the offseason. Are they still thin at depth in the post?

Xavier game just got much easier, they've expelled their best returning player, Dezmine Wells. He averaged 10ppg and 5rpg as a freshman.

No way 27-3 is realistic. There are just to many toss up games.

More like 25 if a really good season, 17-19 if a bad season, and 20-22 if average season.

It could all change if players like Stokes falter or have good years.

Best of luck to the Vols. Wish the best when you're playing anyone other than Kentucky. :hi:

Cezar Guerrero leaves Oklahoma State - CBSSports

That's a tough loss, he was going to be a pretty good player for them now, and possibly very good in the future.

Smart may have to play the point? Markel Brown? Neither are true points but versatile. Phil Forte has an impressive offer list but is more of a shooting guard.

Cezar had some real good games at the end of the year (15 pts, 16 pts). I think this is a big loss for Okie State. May cost them a potential NCAA Tournament bid as an under the radar.

Devanta Abron transferred (5.7 pts/4.2 rebs). Sanchez (terrible) and Waithe (bad) are gone. None fit the MA system in my opinion.

So it is Mickelson (some question marks on his off season routine) back with Powell. Add Jacorey Williams and Coty Clarke (JUCO). Clarke should be solid and Williams should be a solid contributor mid way through SEC play (hopefully for the Razorbacks).

Harris from Houston? That would be very good news if he becomes eligible this year the Arkansas.
