It's always confused me why UCA and Arkansas State don't do this in football and men's basketball
Glad to see Shulman leaning into this strategy
"What we've done is we want to be the destination for Arkansas kids. If Cal doesn't want them, we want them."
The UCA men's basketball team has nine Arkansas players on the roster as they look to build on their historic season last year.
Coach Shulman said they want to keep the in-state talent in-state. Period.
Trivia: can you name all nine from memory?
Four guesses from me:
2016 Mizzou, VA Tech
2024 Oklahoma State
2025 Memphis
What else?
RECAP: Arkansas snapped a long SEC losing streak with a road win over Vanderbilt. Can the Razorbacks build on this victory over the final five games?

Do you attempt a FG here if it comes to that? Would be around 42 yards. A punt would leave Vandy with about 25 seconds and no timeouts
PREVIEW: As 0-3 teams collide in Nashville, it might be now or never for Ryan Silverfield's first Arkansas team

Still can't get over this:
Hogs open 3rd quarter with 5 Off Tackle and 4 Leads runs, totaling 84 yards and a TD with 7 successes
Then after going up 14-7, we get 1 Off Tackle and 0 Leads. Other 9 runs go for 19 yards
Literally just quit running what was working
Arkansas Play Calling Weekly Deep Dive (thread)
TLDR: There is not a visible effort to move away from low-success plays, that of which are also not setting up the next play. Interestingly, we did the opposite in the 4th Quarter.
Arkansas vs. Tennessee: 3rd Quarter Successful Plays were NOT called in 4th Quarter - instead, the least successful play call of the game and of the season was ran the most.
3rd Quarter: 14 points, 98 handoff yards. Our top two plays accounted for 9 of 17 plays and hit 67% success.
- (5) Off Tackle - Outside Zone Read / 80% SR / +0.662 EPA/Att
- (4) Leads - Outside Power / 50% SR / +0.747 EPA/Att
4th Quarter: Off Tackle, 4 for 5 in the 3rd, got 1 call. Leads got none. OZ Split, 0 for 2 in the 3rd and our least successful high-volume play this season, became our most-called play.
- (1) Off Tackle - Outside Zone Read / 100% SR / +0.751 EPA/Att
- (0) Leads - Outside Power
- (4) OZ Split - Outside Zone Read / 25% SR / -0.558 EPA/Att (2 on 3rd and 10+)
Also worked: PA Boot, 2 for 2 / +2.446 EPA/Att. The 4-yard TD in the 3rd, 20 yards on 3rd and 1 in the 4th.
SR = % of plays that stay on schedule. EPA/Att = points added per play.
How it fits the season 👇 #WPS
Harsh but fair
“I’ve been diving into Arkansas games day by day and focusing on offensive line, physicality, and the offensive coordinator and play calling,” Dent told Rivals. “Really hard to extend my talent or allow someone to get hot when you have backs going in and out every three snaps."

Say what you want about the quality of the Silverfield hire, but how in the world could you possibly know that Charles Huff has Memphis "in a better place"? They've yet to beat a team with any kind of pulse
Memphis AD Ed Scott says the Memphis Football program has a $7 million NIL/rev share budget this season, which is 2nd in the AAC.
He also says former Memphis HC and current Arkansas HC Ryan Silverass had the same $7 million roster budget last season.
Charles Huff already has this program in a much better place, despite his budget remaining the same while spending power in the CFB portal decreased significantly.
Arkansas hiring away Ryan Silverfield while he was on the hot seat grows wilder by the day.
I am open to the idea that a single football-focused GM in an NFL-like role is the best option, but Stanford's experiment is still searching for proof of concept
