Thank you RD!

He'll announce from Arkansas TCU or Texas signing day.

[Horse racer]

Man I hope we land this young man

[presidenthog]

we always suprise people with our facilities. they think we are poor Lil arkiesaw, then they get here and realize we have more than thier texas counterparts. hopefully he picks us.

[ricepig]

Well, that's different from announcing before signing day. I'm sure the coach's will know before then, just not us peons.

[Nosboar Accubond]

Great news. Thought he was announcing before NSD?

[ricepig]

Great news. Thought he was announcing before NSD?

Yeah, I made the same comment in the duplicate thread. I suspect the coach's know.

[Hawgzinbowlz]

Much needed quality depth.

Yep, pretty sure the coaches will know one way or another before NSD if they don't already.  Going to be an interesting NSD.

[presidenthog]

Yeah, I made the same comment in the duplicate thread. I suspect the coach's know.

I figure almost all of these kids tell thier coaches before signing day in most cases. if I was in the process I would be very up front with everyone.

[immahog]

I hope he committed but is waiting till NSD and Brey cook slipped an almost let the cat out the bag with that tweet

I like this thought process. that was an odd turn of events wasn't it? I guess he could have been trolling.

[hawginbigd1]

The old wow I didn't realize Arkansas was more than pickup trucks and hillbillies in overalls 

Did not know we had the advantage of having a pseudo family member in the area, nice!

[HamShank]

Hope the coaches know. Otherwise the earlier word that he wouldn't wait until signing day and now that he is may not be good news. Here's hoping Bielema's mic drop was a silent one from Porter.

[staffhog]

What a day that would or will be, if KP signs up with our Hogs.  I.m already wondering what kind of title could we come up with for  a Whaley/Porter combo

[immahog]

On 2nd thought looks like brey cooks tweet could have been about the Oks DE Marshall in the update he said he almost committed

Schools with "ok" facilities always tell recruits "Everyone has nice facilities."

And then they come see ours and realize that there are "nice" and then there are "elite"--and only a few programs have a commitment to elite facilities.

[TrueBlue]

Godmother in Bentonville, eh?

Hmmm. New twist.

Not just the facilities either.  We have made a commitment to making sure these kids succeed as students as well as athletes.  That resonates well with many of the athletes we are recruiting, as well as the parents.

[Bacon_Bitz]

Sure doesn't tip his hand one way or the other

Of course

[WaltonCollege]

I'm glad he came with his mom, makes him choosing us a real possibility.

[hawginbigd1]

I believe the mic drop was for Putu, based on the accompanying tweet about him, looking like the juco site scooped CBB, on the commitment.

Rw3, Whaley, if the hogs get porter, we are starting to become a pain in the rear to the Texas schools in recruiting

[TNhawgfan]

Porter seems to have character, so i bet the coaches will know before time. Now when you deal with kids like DGB, you never know

[OS2 (SW) Razor Back]

Mom appeared to like the joint. That's half the battle.

maybe... there are 20 a year in Texas that can play

[texas tush hog]

maybe... there are 20 a year in Texas that can play

With those three it may be hard to get another one next year. Look at our QB situation LOL.
