Arkansas kicked off its pre-Spain practices in its Basketball Performance Center on Monday afternoon.
The first hour of practice was open to media. Here are some observations. The obvious disclaimer is that it is only a portion of one practice and no one should draw overreaching conclusions from an hour in late July.
But here goes.
— Moses Kingsley was absent, in Los Angeles participating in the Nike Basketball Academy through Thursday, but Arkansas’ improved length was apparent even without its tallest, lengthiest player. All of the scholarship newcomers possess good size and length, areas that weren’t strong suits of last year’s team.
