    Absolutely talking about Thiero. I love him. Hogs offered him 3Mil to come back in NIL. Calipari got some kind of guarantee in first round and he's got a few second round team that will take him. He absolutely should be there at 24

    How does this work? Where does this money come from? Student tuition?

    True story: I taught a course at the University of Arkansas back in the late 90s. I saw Kareem Reid walking across campus. Fayetteville is very nice: if you're ever sentenced to live in Arkansas (God help you), make sure it's the Northwest corner.

    Loved Kareem Reid. If he hadn't been a Prop 48 his Frosh Year, Hogs probably beat UCLA to go back to back in 95.

    NIL collectives. The Chicken Man [John Tyson of Tyson Chicken] is a UA grad and was huge in getting Calipari to Arkansas. He personally dedicates a lot of money to the Arkansas NIL War chest. Rumored that Arkansas has up to 10Mil to use for players for College Basketball. Also, JB Hunt trucking and Walmart are heavy Donors to the UA. Agreed about NW Arkansas. It's ranked yearly as a top place to live

    Ah yes, Tyson chicken. You can't live in Arkansas without hearing about that. No doubt the inspiration for "Chaco chicken" in that one X-Files episode.

    He's available! Apparently his stock didn't rise THAT high

    Hunter Sallis really shone at the combine. Chucky Hepburn might be good, too.
