Good to know that Pelphrey is already looking into the long-term for the Hogs.

Good to hear that we are going after the top talent in Arkansas.  Let's hope Gulley turns out to be great.

Anybody know what recruiting class Ronnie Brewer's cousin will be in (I think he was in the 9th grade last year)?  I heard he is just as good if not better than Ronnie was.

[SardisHog]

What the +++++++++++? Offer a schollie to a 10th grader? Tell him your interested but don't offer!! He has two more years of high school developement yet.

Recruiting is getting that competitive now that you have to offer early to get in ahead of the crowd.  The days of waiting to offer until a senior season for a top notch player are over and that is probably not the best thing, but it is what it is.

[Juboar]

Fred has been on everyones list of up and comers since 7th grade AAU ball.

He will be a great fit and you will not be disappointed when he puts on a Razorback uniform in a couple of years.

How big is this kid?

[Juboar]

I think about 6'2" + at present but he seems to still be growing.  Big feet- long arms etc..

He played every position this year at FHS as a Soph.  He can run, jump, cut, create his own shot and handle the ball.

He will probably wind up a point or #2 guard -  in two years maybe a small forward. 

[Pignominious]

good that we already got on this kid.  This is the kinda thing that builds programs.

[zebra]

I think he is a true point guard, at the college level.

Gulley is Ronnie's cousin. He is who you are thinking about.

Thanks, I was wondering that when I read this, but I wasn't sure.

He now needs to stop by LR Hall and offer AJ Walton. 

[jhudson84]

Aj is going to be a great player as well

Are you serious?  If a player is good enough, go ahead and offer the guy even if he is a sophmore.  He averaged 15 ppg as a sophmore.  The number will only get higher as he gets more experience and strength.  I am sure Coach Pel knows what he is doing.

[jhudson84]

Many players are offered by major schools before they ever play a hs game, its how its done nowadays

I'm guessing if he didn't offer early, someone would complain....in fact if the coach handed out gold bricks to every fan that walked into the gym, someone would complain that they wanted their gold in coins.  Let the coach coach.

[moses_007]

I didn't think he could be offered until he's a senior.  Someone correct me on this if I'm wrong. :razorback:

[MikeCapshaw]

A "verbal" scholarship offer can come any time although a student-athlete is not considered a prospect by the NCAA until they are a junior. That's when all the rules kick in for visits, phone calls, etc.

But you are right. A "written" scholarship offer is for seniors only. By that, I mean the actual National Letter Of Intent that a kid signs during the signing period.

[3pigsinafountain]

don't know him, except he is the FHS player Stan Heath offered back when he was 11.  You can google that article.

[BigDave70]

I hope hes good but if pelphrey offers you a scholarship then you must know how to play good defensive ball

[hawgfan80]

Fred is a good player. He's quick, good ball handler, tough. He's not tall, though, and not a particularly great shooter. But, he's also just going to be a junior in high school so a lot of time for improvement.

[slopinhogs]

what you mean we are offering Jr's scholarships without seeing them plat or waiting till they caom to camp

gooooooleeee

I never said that. Pelphrey has seen him play. And, I'm sure they've watched plenty of video of him, too.

[Bomis Hawg]

Some have said that Gulley is as talented if not more so than Ronnie Brewer.

I've heard this too.

[SardisHog]

I believe a man's word is everything. If you offer as a 10th grader then when he is ready for college you should honor that. In my opinion you never know how a sophomore is going to develop. You can always let him know Arkansas is interested but I say don't offer. I imagine that my opinion is probably old fashion but so be it. BTW I believe 40 minutes of Pel will be great.

He's very talented. I would say he's farther along than Ronnie was at this point. But, he doesn't have the size Ronnie had.

[HogMavFan]

Gulley is for 2008, right? Are we on anyone that can play this fall?

Gulley's freshman year in college would be fall of 2009.

Thanks for that - There are so many forums it just m... nevermind.

[slopinhogs]

i wasn't a ronni=e Brewer fan he just didn't shoot well enough for his headlines. i think thew kid was a good basket ball player and played sound defence but he was not the shooter we needed.for this kid to be better than Ronnie was if he can shoot and makemhis own shot as has been said then he would be better than Ronnie in my book. :razorback:

[Loafbone]

We're offering him again?

[arkjay19]

Obviously you have not read all the posts in this thread. I have not seen him coach one game but am looking forward to it. Just don't think it is right to offer a 10th grader.
