This is @jacksoncollier.bsky.social on the women’s hire and it makes a ton of sense. It’s time to invest our let a legacy coach just ride out the program (Chelsea Dungee is sitting in Tulsa waiting).

Book No. 5:

Peter Criss finds his voice and tells a side of KISStory hidden by Gene and Paul. The rawest and realest memoir I’ve read, The Cat paints a gruesome and charming picture of success, failure, and redemption.

4.75/5

Book No. 4 of the year:

Very well researched. 4.75/5

Arkansas' keys to victory tonight over Michigan:

1) Communicate on defense
- Absolutely cannot get beat in the pick and roll game off blown assignments and lack of communication. Have to be very fundamentally sound.

Arkansas will host Fresno State transfer WR Raylen Sharpe on December 11th, he announced on his X page. The speedster amassed over 500 receiving yards this past season and added three touchdowns. #wps

Arkansas starting OL Patrick Kutas is entering the transfer portal, according to Matt Zenitz of 247.

Played in and started four games this season to preserve his redshirt after dealing with an injury. Would have likely started again next season... interesting move.

For a man who wrote millions of words and asked thousands of questions, no words really do his impact justice - as a journalist or as a man. Bob Holt was kind, generous, caring, and just an overall gem.

Rest in peace to a legend. Praying for him, his family, and his friends.

Isaiah Sategna entering the portal. Interesting decision, to say the least. Was productive this year and would’ve been the only main contributor back in the WR room.

Lot of targets to keep an eye on to fill that room, though.
December 5, 2024 at 2:07 AM
For those keeping score:

- Carmona is returning
- flipped four-star QB Madden Iamaleava from UCLA
- flipped three-star WR Jace Brown from UCLA
- signed four-star WR Ja'Kayden Ferguson (previously committed to UK)

Hot start to the off-season for this coaching staff #wps
