The Arkansas Razorbacks lost a lot of their key pieces from last year’s team, including Daryl Macon and Jaylen Barford.

However, star big man Daniel Gafford returned to lead this year’s young Razorbacks, but there are expected to be some growing pains for coach Mike Anderson’s squad.

On Monday, ESPN basketball analyst Seth Greenberg joined “Sports Talk with Bo Mattingly” and explained why he is a fan of this year’s Hogs:

“I really like them. I think Mike’s done a terrific job,” he said. “They are a young team, obviously. They have a guy in Daniel Gafford who can be the soul of your team. I think that’s really important. … I like the young players on the team, I like their team and I think they’re going to continue to get better.”

Arkansas opened the year with a close loss to Texas, but better things could be on the horizon. Not many expect the Hogs to compete for an NCAA Tournament berth, but if Gafford continues his improvement, anything is possible.
