Since when has tulsa been a "major D1 college"?

When they hired Malazahn.

So hiring a CO-offensive coordinator, one year removed from high school, who according to most posters on this board was not even calling the plays at Arkansas, and thus has no college play-calling experience, has turned tulsa into a major D1 program?  Im not saying that I dont think Malzahn is a great coach, in fact I believe he has a great offensive mind.  Its just that I dont think he has the experience to turn tulsa into a major d1 program.  Guys, he's not even the head coach.

Jim Youngblood just got the offer from Gus himself. 

Arkansas is behind again.

Expecting 2-4 more offers by end of next week. 

Tell us something that either we don't know or that we couldn't have guessed. Thanks.
I don't want you to agree with me because you're weak. I want you to agree with me because you know I'm right.

I doubt he is going to Tulsa. He will be a Hog. I have heard he has already been asked to play baseball at UA - and football is just a detail. I have some inside info...Mod's Pm for my source.
Go Hogs.

If it is not an exaggeration that he throws a 95 mph fastball..........then college football coaches are all wasting their time recruiting this kid.  High Schoolers that can throw 95 will be offered a 6 digit signing bonus to play baseball.

plan you say they have aplan what plan ? whose plan when does it unfold? plan you say.

lets look at the film before we offer.lets just wait he hasn't been offered by a big school yet.

It is true and he will be drafted.

If Nutt signed too many great players, mostly 4 and 5 stars, then he would not be able to under-sell and over-deliver. He can't have a great recruiting class ever as it would ruin his good thing.

Not nessesarily, you got to have more than a 95 MPH fastball to get the big signing bonus. Well unless he is a lefty.

Yes, he is from Camden. This kid is the real deal (in baseball). In football I don't know a whole lot about him. I know he was invited to the Max Emfinger (Sp?) game to watch (he was a junior).

For years we heard about the cloud and how it hurt recruiting.  From 2002 thru 2006 our average recruiting ranking was 26.  Right now this class appears to be settling in somewhere in the mid 30s.  What will be the excuse now???
The cloud that hurts our recruiting is the "brain cloud" that HDN has.

How about replying to the point of this thread, that the #1 rated Junior QB's first offer is.....(hint not the UofA), but rather Tulsa. Now, maybe they have no chance, but this seems oddly familiar. When he has a host of offers from D1 schools, will you reevaluate, when he signs with someone other than the UofA, will you reevaluate then?  btw, he is part of a very good Camden team, in ARK.

It is true and he will be drafted.

It is true, as you said.  Him being drafted, and him signing with a Pro team, are two TOTALLY different things though.  He doesn't even know if he would sign or not.  Like I've stated many times, money is not the real issue.  This guy has a future, and is interested in getting a good education first.  He has plans for himself.

He is from Camden, Arkansas.  You wouldn't believe who is showing interest and has "come calling for his services".  I wish I could give you the list that would make you wonder how in the hell Arkansas hasn't already offered.  It is yet to be seen if they will offer, but if even half of them do it will boggle your mind trying to figure out why Arkansas didn't.

Wow. That's funny. The man love for this dude is unreal. I don't remember this many Gus Disciples 2 years ago. Do the math on recruits and commitments to the first school that offered. When you get the results, then give me the point of this thread.

Arkansas is recruiting all 3 of those kids and have offered 2. They are about to sign 2 freshman QB's. He won't sign with Tulsa because they were 1st. I would bet on it.

Does your inside source give you any insight into why only 2 of the three were offered? I assume that you are agreeing that we have not offered Youngblood.

If Houston acts like he never wanted them in the first place, it makes it easier to swallow when they leave.

Then his Hugger mafia can say that the kid was not any good anyway. Also he only wants the kids who want to be here.

It doesnt, but it appears this kid will be offered by many other than tulsa, including "major" Div. 1 schools. But rest assured, we will offer....it will be about 3 days after his graduation and about 10th in line behind other schools, probably some from the SEC.

Gus can be the first guy to offer every five star player in the nation a scholarship and that does not change the fact that it is to play at Tulsa.  Go watch a game there some time and compare their atmosphere to ours.
I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss schools like Tulsa. The right coach can build a comparatively minor program into something interesting. Take a look at Boise State right now -- yeah, they're not the Hogs, but they sure are a hell of a lot of fun to watch and have been getting more national attention over the past few years.

The question is, is Gus the right guy to "sell" Tulsa well enough so the team can get the players it needs to pull a Boise? Only time will tell...

Hopefully, Youngblood will be wise enough not to commit to a second rate coach with a third rate offense...

Let me get this right, you actually want a kid to NOT go to Arkansas?  I want Nutt gone too, but I will never (1) root againt the TEAM (want them to lose) or (2) hope a recruit we want goes else where.

I am a fan of UofA, not the coach, no matter who the coach is.  I liked Lou, until he was gone, then didn't like him anymore.  I liked Hatfield (many didn't, I did) until he was gone, then wanted him to lose every game.  I don't like Nutt, but WHILE HE IS AT ARKANSAS I want Arkansas to win every game and get every recruit.  How can it be otherwise??????????

hawgfandude

No, Malzahn is not the head coach at T town yet.  But the HC didn't do too bad at that private school that Hatfield couldn't win at.

I knew some people would come on here and try to say that since it is Tulsa, it isn't really that important, or that if Tulsa was looking at him, maybe we don't want him, and tons of other BS.  You can try to spin it as much as you want, but Tulsa is as much a major D-1 college as boise ST, Vandy, North Carolina, South Florida, etc. etc. 

I don't see how anyone can't see that Arkansas not offering the #1 Qb in the state is a problem.  What about Dale's fence?? 

To those of you who say that Nutt only wants the ones who wants to be hogs, Jim stated in his interview with Trey Biddy, that he had wanted to be a hog his whole life.  Is he not supposed to look at other schools??  Does it make him any less of a person, or athlete for him to check out other schools before he decides where to go??  Nutt only says that he only wants ones who want to be Hogs because the majority of his offers go out to 2 star guys who are elated to have an offer from someone above SAU Tech. 

Believe me, when this whole process is over, and you see the offers that this kid has on the table when he does decide to make his decision, you will understand how much of a blunder Arkansas is making. 
There is no sacred ground for the conquered.

Why does it make a difference if it is now or a two weeks from now. We have been there to see him I'm sure we will offer soon. What's the big deal? I think it's just one more thing for you guys to bitch about.

I don't see how anyone can't see that Arkansas not offering the #1 Qb in the state isn't a problem.  What about Dale's fence?? 

To those of you who say that Nutt only wants the ones who wants to be hogs, Jim stated in his interview with Trey Biddy, that he had wanted to be a hog his whole life.  Is he not supposed to look at other schools??  Does it make him any less of a person, or athlete for him to check out other schools before he decides where to go??  Nutt only says that he only wants ones who want to be Hogs because the majority of his offers go out to 2 star guys who are elated to have an offer from someone above SAU Tech. 

Believe me, when this whole process is over, and you see the offers that this kid has on the table when he does decide to make his decision, you will understand how much of a blunder Arkansas is making. 
Why does it make a difference if it is now or a two weeks from now. We have been there to see him I'm sure we will offer soon. What's the big deal? I think it's just one more thing for you guys to *** about.

Just more symptoms of a faulty recruiting process that offered Broderick Green about 11th.

In an era where there are over $70 trillion in future obligations, beyond the debt,   taking up practices in budgeting that are tantamount to saying 'And then in 2040, a magic dragon will sh*tpoopy $100 trillion and fix our problems'  simply isn't wise. --ErieHog

no problem here, considering that, if memory is serving me correctly, the only top rated qb's from arkansas to have careers worth anything were barry lunney, high school class of, what, 1991, and matt jones.  with the jury still out on mitch and kodi, that's 2 top rated qb's in 15 yrs from arkansas to have success at the major d-1 level.  some that i can think of whose careers amounted to nothing include john rutledge, daniel lunny, gary brashears, zac clark, and the other handful who didn't do jack.

I have been looking at other message boards around the league. They are all viscous on some things. However, they are a lot like ours. People tell it like it is. Praise what needs praising and piss and moan where that needs to be done as well.

So to your point, we should only look out of state for any help at QB.  Is that why we were interested in Mike Johnson, but once he signed with Tulsa, he no longer can help us.  What about Nathan Dick, no doubt I am glad he chose us and hope he works out, but what about this signing causes you to be calm or excited about our future at QB?

Dubyacee I got your back.

Thanks man. 

If these guys only knew. 


If we only knew that your such a Hog fan you fly that cool Bama avatar?

You don't know how much of a Hog fan I am.  I fly that "cool Bama avatar" in protest of what is going on up on the hill right now with an over the hill AD, and an incompetant baffoon as the coach. 

And it obviously makes a difference to Broderick Green.  It probably makes a difference to a lot of recruits who hear HDN's whole spill about wanting to build a fence, and keeping the in state kids home, then he is last to offer them.  It just shows them that if he will lie to the whole state about that, why wouldn't he lie to them??

Im sorry, I was typing really fast, and should have said "is a problem".  It is a problem that Arkansas hasn't offered the #1 QB recruit in the state.  Sorry about the confusion.

never said we should look out of state for help at qb.  nor did i say i was calm or excited about our future at qb.  don't put words in my mouth.  all i was saying is that being the #1 qb in arkansas doesn't make you worthy of an offer.
