Any chance on Hudson? Didn't we "back off" of him a couple weeks before signing day? Maybe Kurt Anderson can work some magic this time around

He was supposed to come in for a visit, he was one of those super secret types.  He cancelled a few days before, and someone did report that we backed off, I can't remember if it was Otis, RD, or one of the others.  I believe the speculation was that we saw him as more of a guard and we needed tackles.  Pitman didn't really do much to reel anyone in towards the end, so who knows. 

That's the thing though, Pittman was his primary recruiter, so I don't know how much of a relationship we still have with him.

I don't think the boat will hold them all, but I believe we can hold a good many....

This is gonna turn out worse than an April Fools motorcycle wreck for their football program.

Who's chipping in on the background checks?

It would be great to get Hudson and Cobb. Both were highly rated, both are at positions of need, and both considered Arkansas at some point. One of those receivers would be nice too, like Atkinson or one of the Duverney boys.

As I said on another thread while Baylor may not be required to release any/all of these players, I would think in the long run it would be in their best interest. While losing this group would obviously put a huge dent in their last signing class, insisting on these kids staying is likely far worse. Imagine having this kids hanging around the team and what that would likely do for team chemistry. Never good to have poison sitting around that could possibly infect other players.

Ole Baylor really has a problem. Not only are they having to deal with all the legal issues, but having a group of recruits who don't want to be there isn't the solution. Cut your losses as short as possible and move on.

.."J.P. should be afforded the opportunity to go to a university that is not riddled with investigation, not labeled with sexual assault and rape," said Julian Urquidez, whose son is an offensive tackle from Copperas Cove (Texas) High School. "He should be afforded the opportunity to go to a university that is safe."

Translation: "We thought that this was Texas friggin Football and you could #FridayNightLights this away! But, no Briles, no J.P., YOU STUPID IDIOT PC-LIBS FIRED YOUR BEST EVER COACH. Enjoy that, buh-bye".

That does seem more likely what they were saying.

I can understand all these players look around. My question will Arkansas benefit from this?
