[hogfaninmo]

He picked Arkansas

[rhames]

Wps

[colbs]

Big pickup.  Biddy tweeted this is the highest rated duo of safeties the hogs have signed since 2002.

[logand02]

So excited! Come on Brule!!!

[RaisinHog]

That's a nice pick up !

[solitons]

welcome, go hogs

[jgphillips3]

Nice.  I like these defensive athletes we are signing.  They may not be elite, but they look like athletes that can actually play defense against the more dynamic offenses in college football today.

[TexasRazorback]

Welcome to the Hill Mr. Foucha. Lets GO

[The_Iceman]

Those two to go with Brown from last year. The secondary's future looks bright.

[forrest city joe]

Very big pick up for coach Morris and staff.Bishop,Mason and now Foucha. this is an outstanding DB class.add this to last years DB class and WOW!

[Pig in the Pokey]

this is our Honey Badger!

[The_Iceman]

Noticed he is only 5'10". Is he going to be more of a hybrid like Jerico Nelson?

[Corkscrew Johnson]

What an impressive offer list!  Nice pickup.

[Pig in the Pokey]

he's 5'11~ and fast af. He's HoneyBadger2.0
almost exactly the same size and speed and from the same town, with the same coach, and that was what they pitched him on. Kid has LSU, Bama, FSU, OU, etc offers. Basically everyone.

he looks pretty well put together. Looks like he definitely has hit the weights in high school or just has very good genetics.

Thats a good start for a hard hitting safety.  Lets just hope he is fast!

Mason and Foucha are the headlines of our signing day, would love to get Parker and Gerald to add to it, and might take me from meh to satisfied. Definitely excited about these 2 players at our biggest position of need. Gatlin and Winkel would probably be next in line, not very sexy but hopefully they are solid in a couple years.

Reminds me of Jerico Nelson a lot.

[FrozenHam]

Congratulations to the Razorback Nation for securing such an exciting player!   Welcome Joseph!

[Vantage 8 dude]

While some might argue as to the supposed lack of big names (stars) when it comes to some of our recruits, the one thing that one can't truthfully deny is that CCM obviously understands to need to sign kids who can play solid defense. All along I've said that hiring the right DC AND shoring up the "D" would be major factors in determining how well this team can play down the road. It seems that the staff certainly understands the need for upgrading that side of the ball. Now it remains to be seen how well these kids can perform "under the lights".

[Mo_Better_Hogs]

That's what I was thinking--because last year's secondary class was the best I can remember. Sounds like that part of the D is set for awhile.

[HogFoo]

With what we got last season, and what we got this class, our defensive secondary is gonna be stout it would seem on paper.   Which, it should allow us to do more single man coverage and be able to bring more heat on QBs. 

This will be good! Which, hoepfuully we can get a few more studs at dE.  Im so hoping we get Gerald.  Or that okukwufuu kid.  It looks like we already see what the chief wants to do with our defense.  He wants lockdown bigtime CBs and safeties, and then big ole DEs to come off the edge and squash the QBs. Kind of like he had with those guys at aTm and every other school hes coached at.

I like it too!  Hopefully we'll get a few more DEs.  But thats fine, if not this class next class.  Agim will eat in this defense.  If he can drop down to bout 275ish and get his speed back,  he'll make a lot of money in the NFL!  Agim reminds me of Harrison who plays for Patriots. About same size too. 

[DeltaBoy]

Solid pickup!

[SamBuckhart]

Welcome to Mr. Foucha. WPS!

[Bubba's Bruisers]

Are we recruiting Foucha as a CB or S?  I'va always assumed S.  If so, very nice pair with Mason.

[Hog Fan...DOH!]

How about CCM cleaning up on a couple kids from Louisiana!?  I love it.

[rzrbk4life]

Love the emphasis we're putting on the defensive side of the ball. WPS

[311Hog]

man this is back to back years for high quality secondary players.

[ThisTeetsTaken]

Just looked at his offer list.  Impressive.   Anyone know the story on how we plucked this kid out of South Louisiana?

[HogFansReunited]

I think this recruiting class has shown that Morris isn't just going after offensive players and is actually working on both sides of the ball.

[ThisTeetsTaken]

I think this recruiting class has shown that Morris isn't just going after offensive players and is actually working on both sides of the ball.

And also that he can recruit more areas than just East Texas.

[liljo]

Great news. Welcome to Razorback Nation young man! Thanks for choosing Arkansas.

[East TN HAWG]

I think this recruiting class has shown that Morris isn't just going after offensive players and is actually working on both sides of the ball.

This is a great point.  CBP always swayed towards the offensive side.  It does appear that CCM is making a commitment to the defensive side. 

I wonder if it is due to his confidence in his offense?  He probably thinks he can put up the points, but realizes that defense has to improve first. 

[HogginUp]

Big pickup.  Biddy tweeted this is the highest rated duo of safeties the hogs have signed since 2002.

WPS! Great gets! Good work, Coach Cooper/Coach Smith!

[TexHog188]

Why not line him up in the backfield; "... while rushing for 275 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries". That's like 20 yds per carry. Seems like he can't be tackled 🙂

[prattville pig]

Huge get!!!

Well, by listening to his introductory press conference, he clearly believes he can score points on offense. So what you're thinking about his defensive approach in recruiting could very well be true.

and from the looks of the defensive players signed and the fact he hired Chavis i think the idea behind the defense is aggression and turn overs.  I think they know they can't field a defense like bama with ideal size and speed at every position and 8 deep DL that are all fast and huge.  Instead going for speed and turn overs.

Because a pick six can make up for a few hundred yards given up real fast.
