I received a Twitter notification this morning that CBB and RD started following this kid.  I checked it out this afternoon and see that he did just start following CBB and RD back as well as several other college coaches.  247 has him as a 3* but he just got an Ole Miss offer and Baylor as well.  Looks like a guy that's blowing up.  Early crystal ball is 100% LSU.

Wondering if we are offering soon as well?

Florida and Tennessee have offered as well.

With that offer list piling up, he won't be a 3 star for long.

Wait. You get Twitter notifications when CBB or RD follow people?    I might have left that part out.

Twitter randomly sends you alerts when a couple of people you follow start following someone.  It's very random, just started doing it a few months ago.  This is the first time it's ever done it and it be a recruit.  Because I follow a lot of Hog fans it's usually just another Hog fan.  I'm not some creeper that has alerts set to see who CBB and RD follow.

It also will send a notification of a bunch of your followers retweet something. Could probably turn it off but it's not too big of a hassle.

does it all the time for me. no reason to leave any of that out. I find new recruits all the time this way.

If I was Arkansas wouldn't wait too long before offering

A good chance we will be last.

Of first, depending on the evaluation.

Weak effort, and wrong.  But troll on.

Not trying to troll, just an observation.

[bigdaddyhawg]

Say what?

An observation is regarding something that has happened.  A projection is conjecture about what MIGHT happen.

Since we didn't offer last, it's not an observation, but a projection, and it was wrong.

Is English your second language?

My observation is referring to what the staff has done in the PAST with other recruits....

Recruits or recruit?

Examples?  There have been some players they have held off offering due to academics but anyone else off the top of your head?

Mainly the ones with academic problems, but if you look at these last two classes they're a few last minute offers and signees. I dunno if we were last or not but they were last minute.

That's the norm for a lot of teams.  They have to keep some spots open for players they have a chance with but if they go elsewhere it opens up a spot.  Look at some of the players that Arkansas offered before anyone else like De'Jon Harris or Briston Guidry.  Then that TE that Arkansas offered before LSU seemed pretty interested in Arkansas until LSU offered.

I understand, I don't follow recruiting as much as most of you and the little I do follow is just strictly who the Hogs are after, so thanks for the tidbit.

You were wrong, period.  And the reason you were wrong is probably due to basing your projection on one or two recruits that some on here have blown out of proportion, and you ignored the vast majority of kids who WERE offered early, many times earlier than almost all P5 programs.

I am sure plenty were/are offered early, still doesn't make me wrong. Keep being a prick though if you want.

Is this about Chris Daniels?

Not specifically no...but you could say in general yes.

[bigdaddyhawg]

Hahahaha!!  Specifically, no, but, in general, it's about ONE GUY??!!

If I lived close to you I'd volunteer to tutor you in English for FREE!!

No thanks, your reading comprehension stinks.

[bigdaddyhawg]

No thanks, your reading comprehension stinks.

If you're in school, start paying more attention in class, and STUDY more, too.

If you're not in school, look into taking some community college classes, or possibly get your GED.

It will pay off for you in the long run.

Okay, now, tell me your degrees are in English and the signs of the end times will be complete!!

So you think we just sat around and didn't recruit him until the end?

[MS_HogFan]

Does every thread in the recruiting area have to be like this?

We have 2 guys arguing over who knows the English language better. I bet you guys are fun to hang out with.

I really wish the MODS would clean this up. This was once a fun area to come to and try to learn a little. Now it is a pissing contest.

It's getting as bad as MMQB or Jump Ball.

Or a scolding contest, perhaps.

Nothing is as bad as jumpball.

As far as the CD thing goes, you guys do remember that we tend to keep 85 players on scholarship and 15 or 20 more as walk ons right?

If we are to the point that missing one guy breaks the program then we need to just take up tiddly-winks because the football thing would have been long over.

No, I think they did.
