maybe to the rollin' razorbacks?

[The Hogfather]

Thanks for the edit, polo.

[Dogtown Donkey]

Niiiice.

2013 already looking awesome. Potential class of Dederick Lee, Bobby Portis, and Aaron Ross.

[The Hogfather]

I just read his Wings profile and it said he hasn't taken the ACT.  Need to get on that ASAP.

Hell yeah. We don't need another Ross situation happening. Get started on that early.

[farmhawg]

Nice get by MA.

The Pel era is over, he will get it done

Don't be a douchehole. 

He needs to get on that soon.

[The Boar War]

Very good get.  Was he at the elite camp?

[GuvHog]

Niiiice.

Not sure but I believe I saw a post that stated Aaron Ross is going to prep school which is only 1 year so he should be joining the Hogs in the summer of 2012.

I haven't heard any concrete on Ross going the prep route. I'd certainly need more than "a post", though. Depending on who posted it, that is.

Thanks.

Hopefully he'll get the score he needs and be in the 2012 class.

[dsims2k3]

Nice get by MA.

Ditto

[dsims2k3]

Thanks.

I hope so as well.

I just talked to ron crawford and he said he is on it!!

[The_Bionic_Pig]

He patterns his game after "Big Nasty" who just happens to be coaching him.  He was being persued by Texas & Kansas besides the one's who gave the 2013  elite player a scholarship offer: Memphis, Florida, Baylor etc....

[mmhogs17]

You know Portis will be all over this guy to join him.

How is it possible for Big Nasty to be coaching him?

He was his AAU Coach

I'm liking the way things are going.  Hopefully, you're right.

[mmhogs17]

We've got a good lead with Kingsley, from what I've heard.

[The Hogfather]

If somehow we could end up with Goodwin and Stokes for 2012, oh my goo it ness.

[Spider-Pig]

Saw this earlier:

@EvanDanielscout
Just got off the phone w/ Portis. Story on the way. This is a big one. Will be in our 2013 Top 100 when we release it in a few weeks.

[BigSexyHog]

I just talked to ron crawford and he said he is on it!!

Best thing this kid could do is stay away from Ron Crawford.

[waynespur21]

Would be a great pick up. If he can keep him and get Ross away from Kentucky we will be serious contenders sooner than I expected.

[The Hogfather]

I think you mean Goodwin away from Kentucky.

All of Goodwin's friends/teammates are committing/have committed to Arkansas.  Why wouldn't he want to be part of that?

[waynespur21]

Yeah I meant Goodwin sorry.

It's Kentucky, that's why. Maybe one day we will be a one word point as well if we can keep our guys.

[azhog10]

The Pel era is over, he will get it done

I second that! Get on that test.

[HF#1]

Sweet.

[870hogfan]

Saw this too...

Tyrell Basketballismylife Malone says he will play with dederick lee at arkansas in 2013 just has not committed & will till his senior year.

[booogaga]

Everything is coming together nicely for the 2013 class.

I think he wants to commit to us, but we'll on higher players on our lists. I think I'm thinking of the right guy

[Breems]

Love this and Lee's commitment!  Guys are wanting to stay in-state and be Hogs.  MA must be doing something right.

[beasley]

Tyrell Malone really needs an offer, RD said CMA hasn't offered, maybe he will get one.

[Cartoon Man]

Thank You Corliss.

[poloprince]

Tyrell Malone really needs an offer, RD said CMA hasn't offered, maybe he will get one.

2013 class loaded so he may be S.o.l unless players leave and we can sign 5.  M A has to see what J3 and Nick King gonna do first, they are high on the Hogs and i say one of them goes to Memphis and we get one. Moses Kingsley will definitely get an offer.

[Nosboar Accubond]

anybody got a year by year count on how these numbers will look? Just curious how much room we will have in 2013?

[Dogtown Donkey]

2012 - 5 scholarships open (Sanchez and Waithe seniors + 3 scholarships we currently have open)

2013 - 2 scholarships open (Powell and Nobles seniors; could possibly be more scholarships open if we don't sign a full 5 in 2012)

It all comes down to how many highly rated guys we can get in 2012. There are some guys that won't be turned down, but there are some guys that a good but we might pass on in order to have more scholarships for 2013 (we're getting interested of highly rated 2013 guys). Also, it's possible guys could transfer or go pro (thinking about Madden and Young here). I think we stand pat in 2012 if we get Goodwin, Stokes, and Ross and none of the other high 4 stars want to come here. That would give us 4 scholarships for that rich 2013 class (basically we can sign two more guys since we already have 2 committed).

[OperationRestoreHawgBall]

This is a huge commit for Mike A, particularly this early in the process.
