We are 13. Vandy is not listed. That has to change.

It is pretty sad that our "arch rival" 82 miles away spends 1.5 times as much as we do on recruiting. We deserve what we get. What's even worse is we could double our budget and still be under KY. Think about that.

Ha ha this stuff has been discussed on this board over the years multiple times, this article has come out just about every other year. That is why I think some of the expectation on here is absurd. Look at anything in life and you typically get out of it what you put into it.
Our fans want champagne results on a keystone 30 rack budget. Until we start throwing legitimate money at the problem we will continue to recruit at the level that we are. You can blame it on the coaches all that you want but $$ talks. It is about to get significantly worse with the NIL deals. It's not surprising that regardless of who is coaching here we tend to recruit at the same level.
And I'm not throwing stones at our big boosters. They are contributing a good bit. It is the rest of the fanbase that needs to up donations if they want to compete for championships on a consistent basis, otherwise quit complaining.
Want better coaches, donate more
Want better recruiting, donate more
Want better records, donate more

Faculty and staff are obviously letting us down***

You know I always said that if I won the lottery I would make an endowment for the university to spend on croots. However I fear that even they would mess it up and brackey would rat everyone out

Washington state is beating us!

We could double our budget and not see significant improvements......We are who we are and we're ALWAYS going to struggle competing against the vast majority of teams in the SEC......

This is halfway true. We need to double the budget AND get organized amongst boosters. It’s in disarray

I disagree. Doubling our budget would go a LONG way for us.
To me there is very little excuse for us to not recruit better in football. We can recruit well in the other sports. Football all of a sudden it's one excuse after the other. Even with the NIL it's going to take us a few years to get organized and will take a football coach that prioritizes recruiting like Bob Tyler did.

That's pretty surprising about Ark and Auburns places.

Arkansas also has the highest nutritional program/student-athlete food budget in the SEC. Seems like a lot of money for recruiting mid-20's most years but guess that's what you have to do in such a small state without many players. Nebraska is similar.

Excuse me for being a dick. When you float shit like that, quit. Just tell the truth. We are wonder bread here in NW Arkansas. And our state produces DII all stars.
Dude I’m from the Mississippi delta. I call it new South Africa. In one geographic region we produce more talent in 100 miles than Arkansas produces as an entire entity.

Which is what will happen to us if our budget is increased.......

The wisest money spent on recruiting is under the table.

We all know Ole Miss's budget is way more if you count illegal payments to players.
