His recruiting is blowing up, getting interest from ARK, UCLA and others.

He already had crystal ball picks last week.  I also found it funny that people would automatically pick Akial Byers to Bama a day after receiving an offer.

Typical knee-jerk reaction. "Oh Bama offered a kid from little ole Arkansas?  Well then he's obviously going to Tuscaloosa."

I can't find the link to his Rivals offer list {if any}

now, now.  50% is a little high   U'd have to go back to when Bear Bryant was handing out triple digit scholarships & quadruple digit signing bonuses.

It is less common than you think.

Players showing offers from Alabama (per 247):

2016 - Agim, J Jones,  2-0
2015 - Hill, Gragg, Storey, Pettway, 3-0-1
2014 - Jackson, Frazier, 1-1
2013 - Tenpenny, Henry, Allen, 2-1

So of the in-state players with Arkansas and Alabama offers, we have kept 8, they got 2 and we lost one to OSU.

Smart money would put their crystal ball on Arkansas to beat Alabama for in-state recruits, in the absence of any other data.
