FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Apparently Davonte Davis is going to drag out the drama for everyone waiting on him to make up his mind. Jordan Walsh is likely headed to the NBA Draft after strong combine workouts and Ron Holland is headed off to G League.

That'll about wrap up things for Eric Musselman's roster headed into the summer before the 2023 season. He's going to have what he's got and we'll figure out how good that works out next March.

The only high school recruits the Razorbacks have landed are Baye Fall and Layden Blocker. Exactly what difference they make will be determined. They picked up Tramon Mark out of Houston and El Ellis from Louisville in the transfer portal, but barring some announcement coming Wednesday night, that'll wrap things up.

Holland's decision catches some Razorback fans who considered him just about a lock to be in Fayetteville. He had already turned down the Hogs from Texas and when that didn't work out, everyone got their hopes up he would land here this time. It happens in today's world of constantly changing rosters.

It probably really shouldn't be that surprising Devo is dragging out the drama. Nobody plays to the crowd better than he does. Well, Walsh might fall into that category, but most projections now have him in the second round of the NBA Draft, which is not guaranteed like the first rounders, but still a good opportunity. Getting picked there has worked out pretty well for Daniel Gafford.

All everybody can do now is wait and see what their official announcements will be, but the bigger story is what will Musselman do if both of them leave. That will really be the question everyone should start wondering about now because there's really no answers ... right now.
