Uncommitted Official Visitors list

I said he recruited well, just not in large numbers. 

You said he was owned.....

[duckman]

By Grimes, yes....  I will also stand by my opinion.

Fine, and I'll stand by mine, seeing as they are just opinions, and virtually useless around here, haha.

Jeff Grimes is an outstanding recruiter.  Never been impressed at all with his coaching, though.  All that talent, and his OL's consistently underachieve.  I wouldn't want him at Arkansas.

Love the guy we have....   Grimes and any other OL coach has to deal with the HC and OC that are in place.  I think he would have better results under CBB's system.  Wouldn't trade anyone for KA though, I like this guy.

[jackflash]

Porter, Putu, Cleveland I expect to be hogs maybe Ramirez anything after that will be extra going to hold out for fulton and Jones

[Boardon Hamsay]

Oh, I talked to him for bit about my time at the UofA, what to expect, and answered some of the questions he and his dad had about NWA. Good kid.

You left with a handshake, right???   

[southarkhog06]

Hell, he wasn't the best OL recruiter in the SEC-W.

I dont think he was the best OL recruiter at Arkansas, definately not this cycle.

It is becoming more clear to the voices in my head he mailed this cycle in, cuz he was butthurt. I hope we get 17 sacks next time we play UGA.

any guesses on this DE?

[hawginbigd1]

I am going to list 3 guesses in order. Levi Onwuruzike commit to Washington, Marvin Terry commit to Mizzou, or Andre Anthony commit to LSWho.

[ricepig]

I'm thinking he's coming from the Atlanta area, just a guess.

[Uncommon]

Maybe?

Louisville commit?

[Boardon Hamsay]

Applause, well done! Now what did you find out about KP

Applause, well done! Now what did you find out about KP

Didn't ask about, KP. I didn't press him on where he/anyone else was leaning. I took the "take what you will from my great experience at Arkansas" approach. Very nice kid and dad. Dad is a bail bondsman and on his phone a lot so I let him use my portable charger to juice up.

You left with a handshake, right???   

Yes, with both. Clean handshakes. Both firm, not overpowering and I'd bet they both moisturize.

Yours needed folding money in it.......

[Boardon Hamsay]

Dee's dad asked him, "what if Arkansas offers and they want you to play WR?". His answer was, "I'd do my very best at WR then". I said, "hey, we could also use you at LB cause we're thin there."

Gauge from that about where Dee leans (if offered) what you will.

[Boardon Hamsay]

Yeah, I really need to work on carrying cash.

You should ask a flight attendant to make an announcement, "If you are a DE please stand up"

Again well done, was there another athlete looking type with them or on the flight?

Looks like there will be some recruiting carpools at XNA. Maybe I can crash the welcoming party.

[Boardon Hamsay]

Just them. No idea on the mystery prospect.

RDs bits almost read like the mystery DE would be arriving with Walker.

I gotta be honest here, Dee is the best athlete on the plane. His dad and I would probably duke it out for 2nd and 3rd best. After that, not much athleticism on the plane and I sized up everyone on my way down the aisle.

Any 4.3's to the bathroom?

Not sure whether to offer a high five, laugh out loud, or cringe. So...good work!

[Oklahawg]

I suspect the DE is from TX.

Might be an OSU commit.

[Boardon Hamsay]

Dee was the only player in his car service Yukon. It had Hog placards though with his number (40), along with 72 and 21.

+1 LOL if I could

If so, either Jonathan Marshall or Tralund Webber.  Both with some good offers, Webber is a JUCO guy pretty highly ranked.

Marshall is the name I had heard. Thanks!

Need to get some folks over to the Catfish Hole to confirm identities.

Sounding like we can definitely update Putu and Porter sometime this weekend! WPS

Kinda curious to see if Walker gets an offer.

He gets an offer...

According to this, he has an offer.

Good deal. Hope it's accurate or he earns an offer, worst case. I don't follow recruiting much beyond grazing here (which came in handy in identifying Dee today) and RD's tidbits. Glad I also happened to be in a spot where I could recruit a little for the Hogs via an "in airport visit."
