Grant Gunnell, 4-star, 6'6" QB

[The_Iceman]

Some good news with him. Received an offer from Coach Morris and the OC tonight.

[Tortfeasor]

Evidently his parents went to UA.

[OneTuskOverTheLine™]

 Did I just Stephen Hill on twitter..?

[pigbacon]

Did I just Stephen Hill on twitter..?

Yep. Lol.

[pigture perfect]

Bring him in boys! What a get, if we can.

[jgphillips3]

Did I just Stephen Hill on twitter..?

I think Grant Gunnell just Steven Hill...but yeah.

[#1 STUNNA]

Also offered a 4* from Arizona that our up insane numbers this past season... sam howell

[King Kong]

Evidently his parents went to UA.

Lol. About a year late in this one. Grandfather was on the 64 team

[Pig in the Pokey]

Evidently his parents went to UA.

much deeper lineage than that. Grandpa played here on the 64 team iirc, maybe a little before that team.

Also, this kid is right at the line to be a 5*. he is the #2 QB in 2019.

[Pig in the Pokey]

christ, look at his stats y'all...

http://www.maxpreps.com/athlete/grant-gunnell/RUThrkatEeW-8KA2nzwbTA/gendersport/football-stats.htm

career (still 1 season left in HS) 142 TDs to 21 INTs     0_0

[sickboy]

I'm telling you. This kid's mechanics are so solid. His accuracy on the run is spectacular and he's got enough wheels to run the RPO. He needs to gain some weight, but this kid is one of the best QB prospects we've had in awhile.

[3kgthog]

Gerry who?

I'm telling you. This kid's mechanics are so solid. His accuracy on the run is spectacular and he's got enough wheels to run the RPO. He needs to gain some weight, but this kid is one of the best QB prospects we've had in awhile.

and he is unafraid to go straight superman on a couple of those runs.

[FrJoseph]

Still a hard verbal to A&M?

Fr Joe

[onebadrubi]

I like how he pictures our starting gun slinging QB for. Ext year.

[thebignasty]

Still a hard verbal to A&M?

Fr Joe

I think I read shortly after Morris was hired that Gunnell was open to taking another look at Arkansas once the new staff was in place.

[Con el Cerdos]

Still a hard verbal to A&M?

Fr Joe

Yes.  And with their new HC, I think it will be difficult for us to get him.

[cosmodrum]

No chance.

[JusJim]

Maybe an encouraging sign?

"Wait... didn't our parents go there or something?"

Came across as sarcasm to me.  Don't think that would be positive. Hope I'm wrong.

[FraggleHog]

What’s the story on the Texas commit we offered late last night? Any chance at flipping?

[cardinalandwhite]

I thought it was funny. Probably been mentioned once or twice at family gatherings and all.

Signing at 4 today, so no.

[Wooderson]

Signing at 4 today, so no.

Why did he tweet that out then.  It was mentioned a few days ago that we had offered him.

[King Kong]

Came across as sarcasm to me.  Don't think that would be positive. Hope I'm wrong.

Since he does know his parents went there it is clearly sarcasm. Good job you are correct.

Now sarcasm in a negative way or positive way for Arkansas's chances could be taken either way.

[Soooie21]

Noland has a better arm, quicker release.....

[King Kong]

Noland has a better arm, quicker release.....

Quicker release yes. Better Arm? As far as distance? No

[The_Iceman]

Excellent touch on short passes. Overall pretty impressive QB.

[Soooie21]

I think he does...hard to really tell unless you see him in person...

[rljjr]

Oh Stop. You recruit QBs every year. No need to start that darn with a kid that would open eyes and put some grease in the pipeline in the Houston area.

[AirWarren]

Some good news with him. Received an offer from Coach Morris and the OC tonight.

Bring him on.

[ricepig]

Why did he tweet that out then.  It was mentioned a few days ago that we had offered him.

Why don't you ask him? You seem to have all the recruiting answers, I never thought you'd have to ask a question in the recruiting forum?

This is just my observation...would love to have both....

[BigSexyHog]

Fr Joe

He will not be going to A&M.   

[rljjr]

Sorry. I'm just a little edgy this morning. We have time to work on Gunnell since he's a 2019 guy. With CCM he's at least paying attention and taking a look. He'd be a marquee guy to go in and get.

[BigSexyHog]

This is a 2 horse race at this point.  Hogs are in good shape but so is the other SEC team (Not A&M).   CCM is going all in.

[ricepig]

He will not be going to A&M.   

We need to lock him up, like soon.....

[King Kong]

He will not be going to A&M.

Are you positive? FSU was recruiting him hard when Jimbo was there

[ricepig]

Are you positive? FSU was recruiting him hard when Jimbo was there

And there was a reason he picked aTm over FSU then.......we may not get him, but our chances improved dramatically with the coaching changes everywhere.

[PlanoHog]

Still a hard verbal to A&M?

Fr Joe

No. BigSexyHog is correct, we are battling another SEC West team and it's not TAM. But a long ways to go but we aren't in the lead at this point.

[BigSexyHog]

Guess nothing is ever 100% in recruiting and we all know people change their minds overnight but Jimbo is not highly regarded by some close to the situation.  Will see how this plays out over the next few months. 

[Wooderson]

You might want to look up the definition of sarcasm.  Sarcasm by definition is negative.

[HawgTrough]

I hope you're right. That would be a nice swing for the new coach. IIRC Bielema landed Collins and Kirkland in his first year (albeit without this dang early signing period).

Gunnell is a 2019 QB.

Yeah, but they don't have a history of QB development.

I heard this guy's voice, in my inner dialog, when I read that post...

[GuvHog]

Are you positive? FSU was recruiting him hard when Jimbo was there

He was a hard commit for A&M but backed away from that commitment when Arkansas hired Morris.

[sickboy]

He was a hard commit for A&M but backed away from that commitment when Arkansas hired Morris.

Probably helped that A&M fired Sumlin.

[King Kong]

He was a hard commit for A&M but backed away from that commitment when Arkansas hired Morris.

He is still currently committed to A&M.

That's ok....looking forward to the new era...
