The John Calipari era started with a bang, as Arkansas cruised to an impressive 85-69 win over preseason No. 1 Kansas last Friday.
It’s important to note, though, that the Jayhawks were without their star big man, All-American Hunter Dickenson, as well as a few other players projected to crack their rotation. Of course, the Razorbacks were also without projected starting center Jonas Aidoo, the Tennessee transfer and preseason All-SEC big man.
Regardless, several Razorbacks impressed in their debut in the Cardinal and White – and one returner showed glimpses of what once had him making noise on NBA Draft boards.
