Mason decommits and commits to UPig

[Bothrops]

This kid is gonna get run ragged in Fayetteville. He is probably going to play very early there however. In any case, we seem to be the targeted program to pick off recruits from.

[confucius say]

I wanted to close with winkel, Smith, Mason, Lovett, and McDowell.

Our class is down to 28th and dropping

We all would. That would be closing on our five remaining targets. Not happening. We?re not batting a 1.000 with a new staff.

[BHildreth3]

We're going to get who we get. There is nothing any of us can do about the final signees and the final number. Jump on board and get excited about the 2018 season. Once we start rolling up wins, we'll gain some more momentum. There are some that spend way too much time being negative and thinking that maybe bitching on here will change the outcome of the class. Shut up, wait til Signing Day and try to say something positive.

We should never lose out in a recruit to Arky east of the Mississippi. I will say though that this new Arky staff is a better recruiting staff than Burt had but still.

Why? To a 17 year old kid, who probably wanted his whole life to go to Alabama or Auburn, there isn’t one iota difference between State and Arkansas. It’s not like we lost him to UAB.

[BuckyIsAB****]

I get that we've been better than Arky lately but to act like we are just vastly superior in every way is a little far fetched. Morris is a good coach and the SEC West is going to be the best coached division in CFB outside of the Ogre. Moorhead is unproven but from all accounts and the team he has he should do very well. Arky has the same SEC money we do, good facilities and a passionate fanbase. They arent pond scum.

It does suck to lose the kid but I wish him well at Arkansas or wherever he goes. We will be ok, as its been said we can still close with an OL and a CB.

The kid committed to play for Ron Cooper as his position coach. Let that sink in

Probably 90% of the posters on this board don't remember Cooper when he coached for Sherrill as DC. Total disaster.

I remember that idiot and his stupid sideline signals very well.

[Bully13]

The question now is does our staff have the ability to go pick off another schools commit that didn't sign early. We could use some counter punch right about now.

[ShotgunDawg]

It's amazing to me that no matter how much we win or lose our recruiting profile does not change.

College football is an odd animal

[sleepy dawg]

Y'all think this is bad... just wait until Joe's name is mentioned in a coaching search by some lazy reporter who hasn't even done any research. That thread will be 10 pages long and the front page of the board will be about that.

[ShotgunDawg]

I just hope Cohen thought this "recruiting thing" through before making the hire & didn't out smart himself.

If Pruitt is sitting there with a top 10 roster in 3 years, I'm gonna throw up

Time will tell

[Turfdawg67]

My God... I’m just sorry I helped keep this stupid thread going. It’s like talking to an ignorant brick wall. Well I hope Cohen sees that Joe held onto Guidry, Heath, Whop & Murphy. What a bleak life you must lead.

Careful not to show your hand too early Shotgun. Pruitt gonna have a shitty offense every year with shitty QBs while Moorhead is top 20 every year.

Agree and that’s my hope. However, it’s hard to win anything of significance with 15-25 type talent.

I just hope that Pruitt stinks as bad as we think he will as a head coach.

We play Tennessee once every 7 years. Who gives a shit about Pruitt. We need a great offensive coach here not a Saban wannabe minus the brilliant Saban mind. Pruitt is gonna have a meltdown. It's obvious that dude has a serious temper. Let Moorhead have a full year before you cast him to the permanent 15-25 mark in recruiting (which btw those rankings are total bullshit anyways with intent #1 on selling more subscriptions to the largest fanbases). I suggest you pick up another hobby besides college football during the off-season. There's literally unlimited options in this world.

[RougeDawg]

We will continue to lose guys until we learn how to play the game better. Period. End of story.

Don?t expect us to crack the top 15-20 classes in the next few years until we learn the tricks of the trade. Six figure Jobs for parents is a good start and the method On and Bama use. Hard to prove anything with those tactics. Bottom line is we don?t have the alumnus wealth as other programs and we will fall further behind now that the ncaa has opened the flood gates. Maybe we will step up but I?ll wait to comment until after it starts to happen efficiently and in untraceable manners.
