Kenneth Dixon is looking good for LA Tech.  He is a strong runner and a good receiver.  Just had to get a post in before the end of year.

Illinois has very little team speed.  LaTech has much more all over the field.

I'm sure he knows but you gotta have great team speed to win big in the SEC.
sometimes it's a good and some times it's a schit

Would have rather got him than Marshall. Dixon shows out. Had a huge game against A&M a few years back I remember.

i knew this OP was coming -- for the 50th time.

He's fast and quick, but he's not SEC good.

It's much better for everyone that he's at La Tech breaking records than sitting on the bench at the UA.

So, please, lower Ark homers, just stop.

Idk if he is good enough for Sec or not but I still remember watching him in the state championship game his senior year. By far the best performance I've seen by a single player in person. Still remember the first play he takes a snap from QB runs to the left for a 65 yard TD. Goes to run for 4-5 more TDs that game and well over 300 yards.

Wow..just because Dixon is not a pig he is subpar.  Even though according to you he was running behind a line not nearly as good as the hog line.  According to you I guess Williams or Collins would gain 3000 yards at a school like Tech.  I wonder how these players that are superstars in the NFL but came from schools other than the SEC ever was good enough.  Freaking idiot.

I'm from central Arkansas but without a doubt Dixon was the most impressive HS athlete I ever saw. My school played him in the state championship game & I never saw a guy run with so much power, speed, and determination. And I do agree with a previous poster Dancy is a beast as well. But with us having Jamario Bell committed you would think our coaches would have seen him. He might not qualify for some reason.

Also I know the Dixon ship has sailed and I'm not in the party calling for his transfer lol.

We took J Wil and Donovon Roberts in that class. Obviously all of us would have taken him over 1 and not taking him over the other in hindsight. Dixon is good!  He could play over many RB in the SEC. On our roster though, I feel he would be the 3rd string back and maybe get some return duties.  Sure he would have had some value, but it's not like he was a major loss at a position we're lacking.

I went to the game cause I'm a big fan of the double wing and wanted to you see win it all. But Mr Dixon was a man among boys that night unfortunately.

Yes he was. And it was extremely unfortunate our QB got thrown into the concrete wall & got injured. The back up QB had a better arm but he wasn't as athletic & couldn't execute the double wing like Zack could. But yes he made a stingy defense look porous.

He is gonna end his career with 70 TD's and over 5000 yards from scrimmage if he stays healthy.  Hogs missed on him.  BIGTIME.  I said it back then.  One of Korliss Marshall's coaches said that Korliss had the worst attitude he had seen in all his years of coaching.  Should have never messed with him

Dixon would have redshirted his first year and would be our feature back after Collins and JWill go pro after next year.  I would love to have him.  Heck he might be better than them

Should have been ejected after slamming the Carlisle QB into the wall and knocking him out of the game.  Refs let it slide.

Had Petrino/Jonnell recruited him, he probably would have sat behind Knile Davis and Dennis Johnson (or redshirted) in 2012.  Would have been in a battle for playing time with Williams and Collins the past two years.  With that competition, he might have met the same fate as Tenpenny had he been a Hog. Or he might be all SEC.  We'll never know.

whoa now, faychill. Not trashing him. Marshall was obviously the better back. That's why he ended up at Arkansas and not LATech. I said what I did because I don't believe Dixon has the off field issues Marshall did. I think he could contribute more to the team than Marshall did.

Jamie Jones

Some of you should do more research. Dixon, while a great running back, would never have made it to Arkansas. He isn't the sharpest tool in the shed and was nearly academically ineligible this season. Getting it done in the field only works if you are getting it done in the classroom. Seems he had similar issues I at Strong, IIRC.
I'm a Hog fan. I never chant S-E-C! I hate all the other members.

bigdaddyhawg

I once watched Kenneth Dixon outrun a panther barefooted -- and the panther had a head start.

Anecdotes from his high school days aside, the kid is not big enough to be an SEC back.

Any discussion about the UA "missing" on this kid is mental masturbation -- it might be fun for you guys, but it doesn't change reality.

I came close to throwing this in my argument, too.  Was trying my best to be nice to the kid.

We aren't going to trash Marshall. No one needs to do that. It is his loss that he didn't do what was necessary to remain a part of the program but he contributed when he gave himself an opportunity to do so.

I hope he gets things straightened out and gives himself a better opportunity at another school. Good luck to him and thanks to him for the contributions that he made while he was a part of the program.

No one needs to trash this young man. He is well aware of having blown a valuable opportunity with the Hogs. If anything, he should have our encouragement at his next stop.

He couldn't even handle the physical play freakin' Ill was dishing out today.

How in the world would he have ever stayed healthy long enough playing against SEC defenses?

Answer: he wouldn't have stayed healthy.

Talking about questionable credibility.

Hogville is a fickle mistress. But if there is one thing that we're consistent about... it's overreacting every time a kid from Arkansas has a good career in a small conference. Just because a kid has a good career at Louisiana Tech... Doesn't mean he's an SEC caliber back. And when people start saying Keneth Dixon could be a better back than Collins and Williams... well, you just have to chuckle a bit.

bigdaddyhawg

Dixon would be a limited carry, third down type back in the SEC, not an every down back.

You want to waste a schollie on a player like that, who probably wouldn't have qualified academically anyway?

In the age of 25 LOI's a year, that would be stupid.

Health is always a question mark. Seems like USC-e had a #1 can't miss back and he couldn't stay healthy. I also bet you sais the same thing about Deangelo Williams back in the day.

Honestly, I can't remember saying much about him.

But DW was a powerfully built kid, not slight like Dixon.

I noticed you completely avoided my point in how he couldn't stay on the field against a mediocre BIG D today.  He was on the sidelines more than he was on the field.

"without question"?  Are you the kid's agent, or family member?

He may play on Sunday's, but I know one thing for darned sure: he won't be an every down back in the NFL.

He might make it as a third down specialist or kick returner -- maybe.

But there's certainly a question about it.

I have no problem saying it when it's true, but this kid is NOT the second coming as some of you portray. 

He's simply too small to do what he's doing in the SEC.

Pure speculation and unless you are an NFL Scout attached to one of the NFL teams and have been sitting in on their prospect evaluation meetings, you have no more clue about this than anyone else. I mean, no offense, but every time we see an Arkansas kid have a good season or a good game at a school of lower level, we always tend to say, "Arkansas missed", and more often than not, that is not the case for a variety of reasons that may have something to do with evaluated athletic ability or academic standards. Not every kid that has the athletic ability to play at the SEC level meets all of the other standards. See KM for example, and nothing at all against him in saying this.

5-10 and 212 lbs. isn't big enough to be an SEC back? There may be myriad other reasons why he couldn't make it in the SEC, but I don't think his size is one of them.

Amen.

Every time Dixon has a good game there is a thread created about it.  I'm glad he's doing well and from Arkansas but continually bringing him up in a Razorback forum is just silly.  I hate to be mean but I'll actually be glad when he finishes his career at Louisiana Tech just so we don't have to hear the Dixon fans smacking their gums on how we missed by not offering/signing him.

So, the measurements teams put in programs are 100% accurate?  Right ...

Because it's funny how all those college studs shrink and get much slower when they get to the combine.

If you can't watch him play and see that he's not built to be an every down back you're fooling yourself.  Or pushing some weird agenda.

Auburn -- 14 for 29

Illinois -- 13 for 63

Totals in those three games -- 43 for 134, 3.1 ypc

Of course, playing at the UA with the toughest schedule in the country the last two years I'm sure his numbers would be much, much better than these.

And, did anyone notice his numbers of carries in those games against major D1 defenses?  Not much indication there of anything beyond a back with limited plays, huh?

But go ahead and tell me what a stud he was against the North Texas' and Northwestern State's of the world.

Ever think that his Coach would be a bit dumb to give him 30 carries in a non conference game against superior competition who knows he's the only threat on the team?

Every team in sports embellishes their players heights and weights.

Now you're saying he's not an every down back in the SEC. Earlier, he just wasn't big enough to play in the SEC, period.

Looks like he's improving already.

He also has LA techs o line blocking against much better defenses. Let's see if he gets drafted in a couple of years, I believe he will. I'm not saying he's better than jwill or collins, but the kid is a very solid RB.
