This one hurts
We’ll be fine.
He is a nice player, but the previous staff at Arkansas didn’t even make him a priority. He may turn out to be good, but would appear to be anything but a guy we can’t find a replacement for.
We also have to make some room
for some soon to be commits
Who & Harria already had spots.
I haven’t heard any new names yet from the new staff.
No we still had to make room. Go check out the recruiting thread all the numbers are there.Quote:

Guys, if The Razorbacks seriously want a kid that is a native Arkansan, 99% of
The time, they will get the kid. Arkansas is a very united state when it comes to backing the razorbacks.
The odd thing here is how quickly it happened. I'm sure losing our staff evened the field, but he flipped really fast. Has ARK even hired their defensive staff yet.
Guess he or mama really wanted to be closer to home. I thought we'd be in a battle with the new staff but thought it would drag out to official visits, etc.
I doubt Bielema was that bad of an evaluator.Quote:

Where he lives is over 4 hours from Fayetteville.Quote:

If he was a can’t miss prospect, Bielema would’ve been all over him.
He's legit. They recruited Bishop very hard at 1st he didn't immediately jump in the boat so they started recruited other DB's.Quote:

I’ve seen this kid play live, so I don’t need to be told how legit he is. He is a nice player that I wanted but this isn’t meltdown situation. In fact, the kid’s uncle told me he was a safety at the next level.
Who's melting? You're the 1 in every thread trying to make it seem like it's not a loss. It's a loss no question. It's not a class killer or anything but it hurts.Quote:

As previously stated, going into the last two weeks, we were about 6 schollies committed over our number.
JoMo wants to go "clean slate" with current team members whereas Mullen had planned to make some cuts to the roster. Numbers are tight and its looks like it will be after Spring when cuts are made. There wont be any choice

The kid wanted to be a Razorback obviously.
Edit to say: never mind. If you have watched the kid live and talking to uncles....you haven some insight
The fact is things like this happen with coaching staff turnover. We’ll get by.
As he should. Plus, he would rather have more spots in a class that he evaluated rather than a class he did not recruit & evaluateQuote:

Bielema didn't offer an in-state CB in last year's class who ended up getting PT as a freshman at Oklahoma. Tre Norwood. He made some weird recruiting decisions sometimes.Quote:

Agree on that. CB is a definite need.Quote:
