Arkansas is not going to be a preseason pick to return to the College World Series in 2019.
The Razorbacks lost too many great college players and have never made consecutive trips to Omaha - factors when national pundits are putting together their eight-team fields.
But in watching Arkansas’ fall practice season, it was clear the Razorbacks were not void of playmakers after losing more than a dozen players off the 2018 College World Series roster. This is a team much more experienced and talented than in 2016, the year the Razorbacks lost 13 in a row to end the season and missed the postseason a year after playing in Omaha.
