After watching Arkansas coach John Calipari put his second team through a mini practice, I knew I owed Dane Bradshaw a text.
I had seen enough to know that Bradshaw’s scouting report on the Calipari hire on April 11, 2024 was wonderfully accurate. To summarize Bradshaw’s phone interview on that red letter day for Arkansas basketball, Calipari was going to take Razorback Nation back to the mountaintop.
After reading today’s media accounts from the 1-hour open practice it was clear that what I was looking for was much different than the mostly young media stars watching in the southwest corner of the practice gym.
