If you paddle a canoe down a football field and have five flats, how many pancakes does it take to fill up a doghouse ?

You talking about those Silver Dollar size ones, or hubcap size?

[jackflash]

this is a great class BB and his staff have started. I could care less what Rivals think of them

[jackflash]

If speed is a big problem then we need to take  close look at the DB from Arkansas Thomas if his speed is correct

[DeltaBoy]

Good Looking List of Young men.

[Hog_Swanson]

Are we going after any other QB's that Cole Kelly?  His star rating is pretty low.  I know, stars don't mean anything, but at a quick glance, they are low.

With Town coming in I wouldn't think they take another QB even if Kelly weren't committed.

[NLRHog92]

Heinrich is an Offensive Lineman.

[Tomhog™]

Heinrich is an Offensive Lineman.

I wondered when someone was going to catch that.  Just seeing who is paying attention. Yep, no way that was by accident (insert wink emoji here)....

[Since 1894]

Love the new layout format.  Thanks for all the hard work!

[Tomhog™]

Love the new layout format.  Thanks for all the hard work!

I figured it was time for a change.  Setting up tables on Hogville isn't easy.  Much cleaner to just put it together as a list.

[stahawg]

Please update Hayden Johnson's offer list to include Florida State & Nebraska.

[jackflash]

I don't believe kids who commit to Arkansas gets rated like the should. Tennessee, Auburn and Mississippi always seems to be rated higher. But yet this year we beat all three

[yraciv]

Does anyone know where the best place to look to see these guy's season stats?  I remember in prior years, we had guys that would give us weekly updates on how our commits are doing.

[ZERO]

I don't know if you're interested in updating the stars, but I went through the the sites, and we actually no longer have any recruits that are rated under 3* by any of 24/7, Rivals, or Scout. So all of the 2* recruits we had have been updated and bumped up to at least consensus 3* :razorback:

Solid class so far.

[Murr]

Anyone hear any rumors about linebackers for this recruiting class?  Thanks in advance.

[DukeOfPork]

Oh now, we don't need linebackers, do we?

[DeltaBoy]

Great looking group of Football Players. Hope we sign them all.

[pigfoot]

I saw K. Pollard play several games this year.  He's a 200 pound WR who also returned punts for the team that won class 6-A championship in Georgia and was ranked number 2 highschool team in the nation by USA Today.  He's a good one !!

[Tomhog™]

Whaley is a HUGE get for the Hogs.  We badly needed a replacement for Collins and Williams. Beat every in-state school in Texas for him!

[Pig in the Pokey]

Agim is a 5* and Pollard is a 4*

[fullfan]

Of the 17 commits we currently have, what is your guess as to how many sign with the Hogs?

[Tomhog™]

This late in the recruiting season, Id say at least 16 will sign if not all 17.  Arkansas has always done a good job at keeping commits, but like all other schools, isn't immune to flipping.

[Tomhog™]

decommit, really hate losing a LB:

15. Jordan Carmouche
    Position: OLB

    24/7 rating:   87       
    ESPN rating:  77
    Rivals rating:  3*
    Scout rating:  3*   
 
    Attributes:     6'0", 216
    Hometown:    Manvel, TX
    Notable offers: Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Stanford, Wisconsin

[DeltaBoy]

Excited about National Signing Day.

What's this about star ratings?  If CBB wanted him, that was enough rating for me.  Why not you? 

[GB-Razorback]

Tomhog,

Any chance of adding the committed walk-ons?  Seems that we have some very good ones committing and they deserve the recognition.  Just because they are not on scholarship does not mean they are not committed.

Either way, thanks for all your hard work.

[Hoggish1]

Just a simple question that has puzzled me for a long time.  For example, Jordan Jones is a 4* with ESPN.  Why don't we use the highest rating out there for a recruit? 

I say if someone has a player higher than Rivals or 247 why not use that rating at the very top in the stickied thread?

His score is listed. ESPN and 247 use a 100-point system along with stars.  I just preferred listing with the score. 

[fullfan]

Is Giovanni taking a page from Carmouche?  RB? :razorback:

[The real Hogules]

I'm pretty sure that LeFrance plays the LB position. He's listed as a TB.

[WooPig90]

Pollard gone

[Tomhog™]

14. Kiel Pollard
    Position: WR

    24/7 rating:   85       
    ESPN rating:  73
    Rivals rating:  3*
    Scout rating:  4*   
 
    Attributes:     6'1", 200   
    Hometown:    Moultrie, GA
    Notable offers: Cal, Iowa, Kansas, Purdue

removed from the list

[Tomhog™]

I'm pretty sure that LeFrance plays the LB position. He's listed as a TB.

I would have put money on the commit above him being a RB since I copy/paste with each addition.  Sure enough one was above him.

[moses_007]

We've had three de-commits from this current commit list.  I don't remember another year when this many kids have decided to go elsewhere.

[pignparadise]

micahh smith is a 3 star on 247

[MJ2]

Only 4 instate recruits?

How many instaters will sign D-1 letters this year?

[ShadowTheHedgehog]

Don't we have a kicker committed as well as a preferred walk-on?

Great list!   Thanks.

[DukeOfPork]

Great list!   Thanks.

Yeah, I've been working on that night-and-day. 

[DeltaBoy]

The Day is looking good so far.

[Hoggish1]

He's a 5.7 three-star, which is just under a 4-star.  And what about his offer list screams 4-star, anyway? 

Let me be clear, I LOVE this commit.  I think he's a big time talent.  But I get so sick of every time we get a commit from a three-star, all of a sudden there's some Rivals conspiracy.  It's not a good look.

What is there for you about .1?  LMAO about all this .1 BS. 

Take it to the bank, as they say:  There is no difference whatsoever between 5.7 and 5.8, except the .1 that some guy at a computer is assigning to a player he really has no clue about.

[Hoggish1]

I get what you're saying, according to HV every one of our recruits last class should be a 4*, but Capps is a big time player. All the other services have him not only a 4*, but in the middle of the pack of their "Top 300" players list. Rivals whiffed on this one.

The simplest thing to do is grade a player, for our purposes, using the highest rating among the 3, 4, or 20 "recruiting services."

Done.  He's a 4*...

[Tomhog™]

All our highest rated players have signed.  Still lack 3 on offense and 3 on defense. 

Big surprise of the day so far is Jonathan Marshall.

[artyhog]

Glad to see that we have 4 LB committed and signed, plus a preferred walk-on.

[DeltaBoy]

Kelly signed so we are well stocked at QB.

[MemphisBossHog]

And Agim is not a 5-star on scout. #146 ranked player in scout top 300. Lowest of the big 4 recruiting sites. Only ESPN gives him 5 stars. ESPN is the only one to get it right. :razorback:

if he had chosen to go to Bama or LSU or somewhere like that, he would magically be a 5 star on scout and any of the rest of them but since he chose Ark, he just gets 4. 

Congrats McTelvin.  Glad you are a Hog!!!  Looking forward to you terrorizing SEC quarterbacks from the DE position next year.

[DeltaBoy]

They keep coming in to the Pig Pen.  WPS!
