## Resource

Arkansas Razorbacks looks to be missing out on Obinna Ekezie as big man recruiting troubles spark concern. Can Coach John Calipari upgrade the frontcourt before it costs another deep NCAA tournament run? John Neighbors breaks down the Razorbacks’ latest recruiting blow, sharpens focus on the thin post rotation, and questions whether Cooper Bowser or Miikka Muerinen can truly anchor the paint next season. Key discussions include Arkansas basketball’s top-ranked recruiting class, the critical need for size after last year’s NCAA exit, and why landing another big man remains priority one. The episode also previews Razorback football’s off-season expectations under Ryan Silverfield and assesses Arkansas baseball’s postseason hopes ahead of their pivotal SEC series against Ole Miss. Is Arkansas set up for postseason heartbreak, or could a last-minute roster move flip the script?
