In this story:

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Whether intentional or not, Arkansas forward Jalen Graham dropped an Easter egg into his comeback announcement video just in time for its namesake holiday.

Go back and watch the opening shot one more time.

There are two Razorbacks together in the beginning of this video announcement of who is coming back for Arkansas – Graham and Joseph Pinion. There are almost never coincidences when it comes to the world of highly produced videos, so it would be shocking if this weren't a conscious choice.

Almost immediately after this, Pinion announced his comeback in a much more subtle manner. He apparently told someone.

The next day he had a bit of fun laughing at the whole thing and sent a large number of people scrambling to try to find an obscure hand kind of resting, patting or saluting on head emoji in hopes of interpreting its meaning. 

For the record, we put our four best people on it and the only time anyone found this emoji being used was by a guy who posted a video of his own home run, so whatever it means, it's apparently a positive.

One of the first to respond to Pinion's jab was Graham, who also indicated he had a source letting him know Pinion might be coming back. 

It's all in good fun and gives a clue as to the chemistry next season's team will have from the beginning. It also creates a desire Arkansas fans never knew they had – to see Pinion and Graham on the floor at the same time at some point early in the season. 

A quick handshake between the two after Pinion drains a three with them each mouthing "per sources" while the announcer inside Bud Walton lets fans know that per sources Pinion hit the three is something that needs to happen. 

As for all the sticks in the mud who are thinking they should just say 'Pinion for three' while Pinion and Graham hustle back down on defense like they've been there before, please lighten up and have a little fun.

Pinion and Graham sure have.
