So 4 spots left

[Uncommon]

Changing mine to:
22. WR KJ Hill
23. OT Toby Weathersby
24. LB James King
25. S Brandon Scott

[onebadrubi]

I feel that Hill is the only other WR we will take.  If not we just roll with Stewart and Pettway.

This puts us at nice numbers as well.  Talented players then in uniform next season off the top of my head

Hatcher
Edwards
Cornelious
Holister
Jojo
Morgan
Stewart
Pettway

And of course a TE's. 

[Vantage 8 dude]

Hill
Weathersby
Zuniga
King

any of those fail to materialize and add Johnson/Jackson/Reed/Scott/Singleton..etc...


it's been a good year already, everything else is gravy...

Seems as if quite a few of the remaining "hoped fors" are falling by the way side as we speak. I'm honestly not sure at this rate whether or not we'll have enough kids left over to fill out all remaining slots. IMO IF we can't get the kids we really want to complete the class just either hold the remaining scholies for next year or for possibly giving help to a walk on later in the year.

We'll be fine, we still appear to have more "worthy" targets than spots. If we have several new names in this weekend, then you may be on to something.

forgive me if i missed it, but has Weathersby said when he will announce?

Hogs tight on scholarships, status for recruit up in air (VIP) http://arkansas.247sports.com/Bolt/Hogs-tight-on-scholarships-status-for-recruit-up-in-air-35085347 ... via @247Sports #Bolt #WPS #Hogs #NeverYield

Just saw this on twitter and the picture is of James King...dont have access but it sounds like he wants to be a Hog but we are telling him to wait? Maybe that means we have a good feeling about a few others?

Maybe it shouldn't but this makes me feel slightly better about the way we finish.

[ArmyOfnobunaga]

I think it has something to do with a potential late wr commit .

I've said over and over that I believe King is a backup at this point. 

[Bubba's Bruisers]

Or they're at least giving him time to officially make a decision.

[redleg]

Weathersby, KJ Hill, Kendrick Jackson, Kylan Johnson.

[davispard]

Weathersby, KJ Hill, Kendrick Jackson, Kylan Johnson.

That looks about right, IMO...  That would really be a very strong close to this class!!!

By seeing the comments from Hills mother on twitter, I'm pretty sure he will not be attending the u of A

She was just calling a few people idiots.  I don't think his decision has to do with what idiots say on twitter.

[RebelW]

I get mad everytime I hear more assurance on Hill not becoming a hog. But I always go and watch film on Pettway and  Stewart.... It'll make ya smile... Get moma to pack you some tweezers so you can pick the slpinters out...

You get mad, and then you post more stupid stuff to insult him?
Who do you get mad at? Yourself? Brilliant I tell ya just brilliant !

According to Montez, that's what Sabans wife is for.  She's always willing to help!

[RebelW]

I get mad when he wears hog gear and calls the hogs and says I'm in.. Then he wants to change at the last minute.. That's what I get mad at. If you don't like what I type, read over it.. Since you're so "Brilliant".

So Mrs. "Satan" ascribes to the Houston Nutt, "peeple hepin bidness" credo??!!!

[CDBHawg]

Weathersby
Hill
Scott
Jackson

If we don't get Hill, award the scholarship to Richardson or Roesler.

If we don't get hill, hold out for Reed in the summer, if his grades are not high enough, then award it to a walkon.

[lasthog]

By seeing the comments from Hill's mother on twitter, I'm pretty sure he will not be attending the u of A

Seeing picture on a Buckeyes' site of parents kissing NC trophy falls in line with your thinking.

I like this idea.

Very true. I read someone posted that we'll only have 13 seniors leaving? We may need the spot.

The truth is, we don't really know what's going on in his head. We certainly know what is on his mom's and step-dad's mind. But in the end I think it's his decision. I'll save getting upset over all of this until he signs on the dotted line somewhere on NSD.

I agree.  I have looked through the twitter comments.  It is amazing what "Hog Fans" tweet recruits and family's.  Although I don't condone the family's reaction to these bat $1*% crazy "Hog Fans", I do think that it would be easy to let the comments upset them.

Most of the individuals on twitter that tweet recruits/families know absolutely nothing about about the recruits/families (their character, their interests, their life), but the send the most ridiculous things.

I agree the parents should rise above all of that negative crap but if I put myself in their shoes, it would at the very least bother me.

What I would not do is respond publicly. They want to voice their opinions but to do so publicly is a no win situation IMO.

All in all, I truly believe that the negative comments that are said by "Ignorant Hog Fans" via twitter tend to push high profile in state athletes away from being HOGS. - That is if the recruit/family chooses to look/listen to it.

my 2 cents.

IMO the only chance we have with Hill is in the hands of Gragg and Storey.

I would imagine that you would find "crazy" comments from other fan bases, too. I remember seeing some stuff from Miami and FSU fans when Collins and Kirkland signed with us, it exists everywhere. Now, do I think it should happen, no, it's just impossible to police.

[CDBHawg]

OR SAVE IT.  We don't have to give every walk-on a scholly.

True.

But Richardson and Roesler played last year and here for the long term. A walk on that earns a scholly is a good thing.

Especially with the low number of departures we have next year. Only 13 seniors. It'll be hard to sign a full class w/o lots of attrition.

Correct, give it to a Sr in August, you get it back in January.

Not every walkon, but Bielema has stated on several occassions that he considers walkons, a vital part of the program, and if they contribute, such as some of the ones named, then he will give them a schollie..

I'm okay with upperclassmen getting them, because they only count against the 85.  Giving it to underclassmen affects your 25 limit.

man it's twitter . who says those are hog fans ? could be OSU NUTTS OR BAMA BUMS . ON Twitter you can be anyone you want to be . it's shear ignorance  to think these are neccesairly hog fans .

^^^^^^THIS!^^^^^^^

How about everyone refrain from commenting, good or bad, on KJ until NSD?  Would that not send more of a message than continually bringing him up?  Aren't we doing EXACTLY what his entourage wants?  Let silence be deafening.   My Opinion....

Scratch Singleton, he just committed to Cal.

Scratch Zuniga he just committed to Florida.

Hey, I'm not the one who couldn't figure out that the posts wanting Zuniga were made before he committed to Florida, but carry on......

[Tusks]

Is Singleton absolutely off the board and not visiting the hogs?

[IBleedRazorbackRed]

Not every walkon, but Bielema has stated on several occassions that he considers walkons, a vital part of the program, and if they contribute, such as some of the ones named, then he will give them a schollie..

I bet Richardson will be on scholarship as soon as possible

[WooPig90]

Yup thats what ive been hearing

Toby Weathersby
Kendrick Jackson
Brandon Scott
KJ Hill or James King
