Daniel Gafford had a good summer league debut Friday night and, according to reports, it has paid off with a $6.1 million, deal that has a couple of years guaranteed.

League sources have told Shams Charania of The Athletic about the deal.

Of the total deal just over $2.4 million is guaranteed. Reports say the Bulls will use cap room to make it a four-year deal, with yearly salaries likely to be set at $898,310, $1,517,981, $1,782,621 and $1,930,681.

Gafford scored 21 points, had 10 rebounds and four blocks in Chicago’s 96-76 win over the Lakes in the summer league opener Friday night that didn’t include a lot of big-name established players.

Neighbors tabs former Washington player to fill final staff spot

Neighbors tabs former Washington player to fill final staff spot

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas coach Mike Neighbors announced the hiring of Chantel Osahor on Friday.

Osahor, who starred for Neighbors at Washington, joins the staff as an assistant coach.

“Coaching student-athletes is a unique challenge, and today, we were able to add one of the most unique players in recent NCAA history in Chantel,” Neighbors said. “Chantel captured the hearts of NCAA basketball fans everywhere during our Final Four run because of a unique jump shot, but it was her ability to make everyone on our team a little bit better that made her so special.

“That same quality has followed her into coaching. As coaches, we sit in the homes of families and tell them we will take care of their daughters like they are our own.  Chantel will help us back that up.”

“Chantel Osahor will be a daily reminder to our players on how being a Razorback can positively impact not only their next four years, but their next 40.

“Her experience with coach Jennie Baranczyk and her staff have prepared her for this opportunity.  We can’t wait to get her with our players on the court and with our fans in the community.”

“I’m thrilled to be continuing my coaching career at the University of Arkansas,” Osahor said. “To be able to be part of a special program like Arkansas and compete against the best teams in the best league is a dream come true.

“I am grateful to have received such a unique opportunity and I look forward to helping the student-athletes become the best versions of themselves on and off the court.
I want to thank coach Neighbors and his staff for making me a part of the Razorback family.”

Osahor played four seasons for the Huskies, helping them qualify for the NCAA Tournament three times, including trips to the 2016 Final Four and 2017 Sweet Sixteen.

The 2017 WBCA All-American was well known as a force on the glass during her collegiate career, as she still owns Washington’s rebounding record, pulling down 1,253 boards over her four seasons in Seattle.

Osahor matched or set several other rebounding records during her time in school, including the single-season Pac-12 record (519), the single-game Pac-12 record (30) and the Pac-12 Tournament single-game record (27).

Osahor was a walking double-double, as she was one of just two players in Washington’s history to score 1,000 points and pull down 1,000 rebounds.

In her senior season, the WBCA All-American led the nation in rebounds per game (15.3) and double-doubles (30), while also registering 20 or more boards in eight contests.

Osahor was also second on the team in scoring, averaging 15.8 points per game.

Additionally, Osahor was named the MVP of the 2016 Lexington Regional after averaging 14.5 points and 15 rebounds per game.

Following her college career, Osahor was drafted 21st overall by the Chicago Sky in the 2017 WNBA draft.

She was later traded to the Minnesota Lynx, where she was one of the final roster cuts from the Lynx training camp roster.

Most recently, Osahor served as the Graduate Manager at Drake University after she was hired back in August of 2017, where she helped guide the Bulldogs to back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances.

Hogs pick up another ’20 commitment out of East Texas with Dixon

Hogs pick up another ’20 commitment out of East Texas with Dixon

Chad Morris’ direction to recruit in Texas isn’t wavering at all as Carthage athlete Kelvontay Dixon committed Thursday to play for Arkansas in a tweet.

One of things that many contribute to the Razorbacks’ slide over the past decade has been a lack of recruiting in the Lone Star state, which annually produces more highly-rated players than any other.

Morris and his staff, especially running backs coach Jeff Traylor, knows the area, particularly East Texas, which has produced an abundance of big-time players for decades.

How strong?

One example is Ron Meyer when he took over the SMU program in 1976, targeted East Texas as a primary area to get players “because I really liked the players down there.”

The Mustangs had a large amount of players from that area that produced the program that had the highest winning percentage of anybody in college football.

Say what you want about HOW they got the players, but it wasn’t much different from everybody else in those days … SMU just bragged about how they did it publicly more than anybody else.

Dixon is the 11th verbal commitment for the 2020 class and eight are from Texas. Traylor has been responsible for five of those eight.

He will join Carthage teammate Ty’Kiest Crawford, a highly-rated offensive lineman, in committing to the Razorbacks.

Dixon is a composite three-star who is also expected to be a return specialist.

Morris can’t overcome Hogs’ decade of ignorance, incompetence, quickly

It was Sylvester Croom in 2008 that sat at an interview in Starkville and flat told me on the air, “we may be a better team, but not have as good of a record.”

He said that during an SEC show that I was doing at the time as we made stops all across the South. Croom, coming off an 8-5 season with Mississippi State in 2007, couldn’t manage much in 2008 and got fired.

About the only thing he managed that year was beating Arkansas and first-year coach Bobby Petrino in Starkville.

What he talked about after the show was how tough things are in the SEC.

“You can win 10 games and finish third in your own division in this league,” he said.

That’s exactly what happened to the Razorbacks in 2011, by the way. When Alabama and LSU play in the national title game and those are your only two losses during the season, well, it can happen.

In 2010 they won 10 regular-season games and finished in a tie for second place with LSU. After a loss to Ohio State in the Sugar Bowl, the Hogs ended up 12th in the final polls, behind Auburn, LSU and Alabama.

If you’re going to play in the SEC West, there’s no easy path.

And Arkansas hasn’t found anything approaching that success since those two seasons.

The SEC has changed in the last 11 years. Arkansas simply hasn’t kept up with the pace Nick Saban, Urban Meyer, Steve Spurrier, Les Miles and some others introduced with a relentless pace of getting the best players to their schools.

During the summer “talking season” (credit to Spurrier for that one), the Razorbacks’ football woes have been chronicled from about every angle possible.

This all started, in my opinion, when Jeff Long and John White hired Petrino. As many told me when it happened, it’s a way to get short-term gratification just before the ship nose-dives into the depths of the SEC ocean. At the time I said it was going to set Arkansas football back 10 years and I was a little low.

Many will disagree, but I predicted on the air the morning after a Cotton Bowl win over Kansas State that 2012 was going to be 6-6 … at best. That was reinforced in the spring game when the complete lack of depth became apparent.

Hiring Bret Bielema didn’t even keep the program at mediocrity. It was a hilariously bad hire to begin with, but some didn’t see that.

Chad Morris now gets the task of building a program nearly from the ground floor up. Bielema liked to say how close his last team was to winning some games, which was verbal confirmation he wasn’t a winner.

You don’t hear winners talk about close unless they’re discussing dancing or throwing hand grenades.

Morris probably wouldn’t admit it, but he’s having to walk a delicate line between expectations and hope.

The Lunatic Fringe and many of the mouth-breathers on message boards don’t know there’s a difference, especially with a program that went through a decade of ignorance, incompetence and lack of forethought.

Expectations should be realistic while hopes can be off the charts.

It’s completely reasonable to expect Morris to get this team to a bowl game in his second season. With a completely winnable non-conference schedule and an improved culture, that should be doable.

Don’t ask me now where those six wins will be because this is truly a season to take one game at a time. Nobody can predict injuries, the twists and turns or how quickly newcomers will get the hang of things.

Morris isn’t going to overcome the problems created in the previous decade in a year or two. It’s going to take a little bit of time.

Whether you like it or not.
