K.J. Hill or not, Arkansas poised for big things this upcoming season

[SECisKing]

Hogville, what up, my peeps? Just wanted to thank you guys for all the love on the Enos article I wrote on Friday, which was a spur of the moment piece, and I wanted to direct y'all to the piece that was originally supposed to come out on Friday about the K.J. Hill situation and how it pertains to the offense.

I can't babysit this particular article like I love to do, so I will have check back at a later time period to see if my folks checked it out.

Special thanks to those who checked me out in the two radio spots, 93.3's Game On (Friday) and the Morning Rush (this morning) I did behind the Enos piece. I should be making an appearance on the Hogcast sometime soon, too.

"...Don't Be That Person

It's totally understandable the passion most fans have for their beloved program, after all, football is the greatest sport on earth (no, not Fútbol), but direct that fervor toward rooting for your team and don't take your anguish out on some poor 18-year-old kid.

Listening to sports talk radio, and reading message boards, is downright sickening these days as it pertains to Hill's decommitment. Yeah it can be perturbing that a potential homegrown superstar may play for a conference rival; I get that.

But wishing ill will on him and his family is just flat-out silly, especially for an adult (or child for that matter). Put yourself in his family's shoes; can you imagine the amount of pressure being heaped upon them?

Wishing him good luck in his journey and telling him you hope he changes his mind seems like a more appropriate way to handle the situation.

Just because he decommitted doesn't mean he has officially signed with anyone else. He may be weighing his options as it's the biggest decision he may ever make, and he may just be a Hog when it's all said and done with.

And if he isn't, Arkansas will continue its rapid ascension back to prominence...one way or another."

Well said Murph... Man, I'm so glad you bring us your insight. +1

[TexArkHogFan]

Geat read.  Sounds like you're high on the hogs. 

[younghog]

Another great write up.. BIG UPS

[hoglady]

Listened to you this morning on the "Morning Rush".
Nice job.
Agree with your article 1000%.

[Hawgey-Davidson]

Nice work Murf.

[Großer Kriegschwein]

Excellent. I dig it.

[rhog1]

Another Great read from you. I absolutely agree one wide receiver no matter how talented is not going to make or break our season next year.  I would love to have K.J. be a hog but if he chooses to go elsewhere then good luck to him in every game except against Arkansas.

[gmarv]

another good read.couldn,t agree more on the comments about fans and recruits,lots of comments should be thought about before its put out for the world to see.

Some very sage advise for not only the Hill situation but for any kid who might decide to decommit in the future. We all have to realize that whether or not we like and/or agree with where a young man decides to play in college, it is HIS decision. He has to live his life AND live with his decision(s), right or wrong.

[PorkRinds]

And another +1 for Murph. 

[DeltaBoy]

Great reading that.  I sure hope that kid comes up to the Hill.

[Kevin]

don't care either way. the program moves forward. tired of all the begging being done on this kid

[code red]

I personally hope we throw less next year.

[snoblind]

Good read, Murf

[Razorbacks#1]

[LRRandy]

I personally hope we throw less next year.

if they throw less next year it means an uptick in running game efficiency. When everyone knows you are running the ball on 3rd and 3 or 4th and 2 and you make it.

[ATLHog]

And another +1 for Murph. 

Ditto

[Hogswarts]

Great article. I agree either way I don't think it affects us much this year.

[SECisKing]

And another +1 for Murph.

Didn't know what exactly what you meant by +1, but then I see that -3 and I put 2 and 2 together lol. Can't front, I hate those type of things as they are anonymous. If someone didn't like something I said, why not just address or confront me on it, you feel me PorkRinds?

But they will sit back, hate and give out anonymous numbers like a housewife or something...smh

Back to business, I believe there is a ton of talent already on the team in regard to how the scheme is predicated. Gotta develop who you have, ya know?

[Hoggish1]

Good stuff and good advise on Hill.  It's his life...

I've got enough faith in our coaches to be comfortable with what they will do with out talent, which is considerable.

Just for the record, that doesn't mean I gave you an applaud.  I usually don't mess with that function on this forum.  Some folks do get bent out of shape about it though.  For me, +1 just means basically I'm in agreement and giving you props for your take on things.  You'll even see some say +1000 when they REALLY agree.  It's just internet jargon.  But I wouldn't worry about your smite count.  There are a few random folks here who don't like CBB, so you getting some smites for thinking he's going to be really successful here could have earned those.

lol if you don't like Coach BB and don't think he's going to be successful, make it known. Don't hide and hate..

YH, my man! Props to you.

[SoCal Hog]

Great article, Murf. I really appreciate your insights.

[Großer Kriegschwein]

Oh they do, trust me. Hence the Nutt 2.0, gonna gut the program like Hatfield comments we see from time to time. You have to see the game threads to get a real appreciation for who these guys are.

This.

[Sivad]

Hogville, what up, my peeps? Just wanted to thank you guys...

Thank YOU Murf for the well crafted article.

[Poker_hog]

I think he's a solid recruit but he's not going to come in next year and be a game changer.  He's ranked anywhere from 15-21 at his position. He'd be a nice addition to this class but not a must get

[HF#1]

Might as well move on down the road. 

[SECisKing]

Great article, Murf. I really appreciate your insights.

It's all good, So Cal Hog. The feeling is mutual for the majority of this board. A lot of knowledgable posters in Hogville.

[acepoker]

Great read!

[razorbackkid]

Another good read Murf.  Looking forward to N.S.D. and spring football.

Yep they scurry around in the shadows until we have a loss then they pounce. Until we win a game and back into the shadows they go.

What kills me is there were several who didn't like CBB from the start. And that is fine. HV is for stating your opinion. Today some of them have manned up and admit they like the direction we are going in. The others hide in the shadows to feminine to give Coach the kudos he deserves. Speaks volumes to the character of these people.

[Pork Twain]

If only Robert Shields would take some pointers from you and Jim Harris

[HogNdazs]

+1 very nice and understandable. I just hope we have a good balanced we can do whatever offense, starting with running of course.

Agree with everything but the Futbol comment, I mean it is the most popular sport on earth if you are counting numbers ha ha.

Haven't you figured out this is uh-merica, us uh-mericans don't care what the rest of them there communists are doin with their soccer and their scores 1-nil

[toshortrock]

don;t get me wrong,,i want Hill as a hawg,,if he wants to hit the road,,hit it,i b fine,now if he was a big ol DT tat clogs up the middle and takes about 3 offensive players to block him,,or if he;s a can;t miss quarterback that we need to throw the dang ball,,i b crying,,but we;re loaded at the tight end spot and i will b fine,WPS

[SECisKing]

Hey guys, wanted to give you all a heads up that I'll be appearing on the best show in Arkansas, by far, 93.3's Game On, again, today at 12:30 Arkansas time to talk about this K.J. Hill article...

Thanks to everyone that read it, sorry I didn't have the time to chop it up with everyone as I'm a lot busier during the week than on Fridays...

WPS, my friends.
