Hoxie DT to make unofficial to UA this weekend?

[Clint Alan]

Thats what Richard put in his column this morning........INTERESTING INDEED!

[pitbull1]

Is he the kid that has committed to Texas??

[ListenHereMister]

Yes.  4* DL

[trphog]

Yes. He is a UT commit.I wonder what Mack will have to say about this??

[Clint Alan]

Yes. He is a UT commit.I wonder what Mack will have to say about this??

I wouldnt mind him pulling his offer..........

Richard said in his article, he could be attending the game with one of his teammates.........who is his teammate? Anyone?

[The real Hogules]

How about a link to Richards article???

Thanks in advance.

[T-Bag Hawg]

Texas already has one 5* DT commit, and another 5* close to committing.

I say we get Derek.

[pitbull1]

Doesn't say who the other kid is, but it would be nice if we could pull this kid back to Arkansas

[The real Hogules]

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR, SOMBODY POST A LINK!!!

I appreciate it.

[sauce]

The way I read it it sounds like he is just going along to take in a game wiht his teamate.  Not much info.

Yes, but things could change.  Why would he not try to get the kid to take in a game at Texas.

IS IT THAT HARD?

[OKhogfan1959]

Get him to the campus and we will have a decent shot. Mack Brown is known to pull schollarship offers..

[trphog]

Isn't it Mack's philosophy to pull any comitted kids scholly that visits elswhere?

I hope he visits! Hog nation would welcome him with open arms.

[Bubba's Bruisers]

Because of the position he plays, DJ is just about as an important in-state get as DW is...IMO.

[Razorvet]

I think an unofficial is a bit of a stretch but it would be good to get him up there for a game. But being in the stands and being on an unofficial would be two different animals.

Thats why it is called an unofficial visit..........helloooooooo?

While I would like to have both, I agree with your stance..........you can never have enough DL......you can turn a WR, RB, LB into a DB.......you cant just turn someone into a DL over night.......

[pedrothelion]

I doubt that Davenport would mention one the top players in state visiting an Arkansas game unless there was some thing to it.

[Bubba's Bruisers]

Yea, but I think recruites can still visit with the coaches, players, and facilities during an unofficial...they just pay their own way.  Is DJ supposed to do that or is he just going to the game like any other fan?

[The real Hogules]

Thanks Sauce I really appreciate it.
And for RMH, I was just having some fun, "pretending" to be impatient.
Was it really that hard to figure out???

[Bubba's Bruisers]

Not only that, but if you don't have a talented DL, then it typically doesn't matter how much talent your secondary has...they'll get burned alot.  A good DL can help mask a mediocre secondary, but it usually can't work the other way around.

[Clint Alan]

And I was just having a little fun at your expense............straighten the feathers out.......

Like I said, I don't think that Davenport is the kind of reporter who is going to mention some thing like this if a kid is "just going to a game".  First he puts Johnson's scholarship at Texas in jeopardy by reporting this in the first place.  Second, Davenport would know that this news is going to create a huge amount of buzz among AR fans.  I'm sure all the local razorback sports talk programs are going to inundated with calls asking questions about this today.  Davenport seems like responsible reporter and I don't think that he takes the chance in mentioning this if it was just going to be Johnson in the stands enjoying a AR game but remaining a firm commitment to Texas.

[HOGINTENNESSEE]

I agree we should email Mack to push him in that direction.

Well, I wouldn't disagree with you about that.  However, that was not the point I was making.  I wasn't questioning the type of visit.  My point was to RMH, who seemed to imply that DJ simply going to the game, w/o visiting the coaches, facilities, etc..., constituted an unofficial visit.  If that's the case, then there will be at least 70,000 unofficial visitors this weekend.

And I don't mean to be more pragmatic about this, but the article also uses the word "might".  As in he "might" make it up for the game this weekend.

[jackflash]

Why would we want to Email coach Brown? Let the kid come up and enjoy the game. Can't see hurting a kid chances to go anywhere.

Looks like we are on a couple good linemen as well

Kendall Kelly, 6-6, 300 pounds, 5. 2

"He's a skinny 300 pounds; he doesn't have a belly," Smith said. "He could put on another 30 pounds and still look skinny. He has long arms and legs and is an extremely hard worker. He's so talented, but it's his determination that sets him apart from most linemen. Kendall is the type that's not going to leave until he gets it right."

Kevin Lowry, 6-3, 280, 5. 0

"He's the most powerful, athletic lineman I've ever coached," Smith said "Great feet, he moves so well. He's built perfect for a lineman. He's a phenomenal football player. My offensive line and defensive line coaches argue back and forth about having him on their line."

I just checked in with my Texas recruiting guys and they said coach Sears said it is just a rumor. Thay talked to him at 9:40 this morning. Maybe D. Johnson just hasn't informed his coach yet.

Made some phone calls, a buddy (i'd say source but that would imply that i have "sources" which I will never make claim to lol) says that the trips been in the works, there's Hoxie player that Arkansas is giving some looks. He did not specify who, but that he feels that Arkansas stands a better chance if we can make a "package offer". My buddy is still in the coaching field and has some good connections. With that being said, he has been wrong. He said Winston was a "LOCK". But that may change too. And he may end up being right in the end. Lets hope so. Johnson and Winston would be a great shot in the arm to recruiting efforts.

[pitbull1]

Well lets hope you're right, mkh

My sources said "Where the hell is Hoxie?"  Is it close to Conway?  I'm pretty sure I've never been there and wouldn't know which direction to go....

My sources tell me Hoxie is located in NE Arkansas.

[hawgsav1]

My sources tell me Hoxie is located in NE Arkansas.

My sources tell me that you are correct.  My other sources also tell me that I would be excited to have Derek Johnson aboard.  However, I'm gonna have to triple check with my third source.
