Malzahn and Tulsa first major D-1 college to offer #1QB in state for 2008!!

[WILL CLINTON]

Jim Youngblood just got the offer from Gus himself. 

Arkansas is behind again.

Expecting 2-4 more offers by end of next week. 

[Mr. Prozac]

Of course.

[Silver Hog]

arkisaw is taking the slow bus again.

[Hong Kong Sooey]

We don't "offer".  We wait for these kids to come to us.  Do you want it to seem like we actually want them?

[3kgthog]

You know how we roll. We don't start recruiting kids until the last week in January.

[hogsmaster]

Even if we are not the first to offer, we need to do a better job of identifying good players and offer them earlier.

[preacherhog]

For years we heard about the cloud and how it hurt recruiting.  From 2002 thru 2006 our average recruiting ranking was 26.  Right now this class appears to be settling in somewhere in the mid 30s.  What will be the excuse now???

[judgeroyswine]

Don't you see?  Gus, is jumpin' the gun. 

HDN & DL know that Youngblood will visit their foosball camp and will be hypnotized by the helmet.  Show some heart and patience.  Our coaches have a plan.

[Bomis Hawg]

Offer?  We don't need no stinking offer...

That damn trouble-making 5%!!

[stevenwayneslane]

Par for the course. I would hate to see us offer that kid to early. Hell it might show we have some interest in him.

[Adam Stokes]

  Hopefully Youngblood will be wise enough not to go to a seond rate program in a third rate conference.

[Mister_BS]

a question or two or more out of ignorance ... where is youngblood from? how good is he as a passer? how mobile? arm strength? how many **** stars?

[HawgWyld]

Well, Arkansas just can't get the recruiting efforts together, considering all the commotion up on the Hill.

Hide and watch. Nutt's working up his excuse for losing after McFadden leaves.

A newspaper ad?

Now you know he only wants the ones that really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really want to be Hogs.

[NATEHOGG216]

yup that's about par for the course(arkansas' lame duck coaching staff)

[311Hog]

  Hopefully Youngblood will be wise enough not to go to a seond rate program in a third rate conference.

Yeah he could always go to an 8th rate program in a 1st rate conference.

[strawhog]

with a 4th rate coach

[Hong Kong Sooey]

  Hopefully Youngblood will be wise enough not to go to a seond rate program in a third rate conference.

Hopefully, Youngblood will be wise enough not to commit to a second rate coach with a third rate offense...

[NATEHOGG216]

ajs, u think he should go to a ninth rate school in a first rate conf?  just wondering

[Mr. Prozac]

arkisaw is taking the slow bus again.

Short bus.

[hogsNbeer]

"recuiting that early just messes Nutt up".....

[NATEHOGG216]

dang u guys are fast. I can't keep up on my phone.

I wonder what it would be like to have a competant coaching staff....

[seanj22]

hmmm which to choose:gus bus or the nuts tough call

[unclebuck]

Jim Youngblood just got the offer from Gus himself. 

So Gus made that call, brotha!!

[rude1]

Why waste time and effort recruiting the best in the state? If recent events mean anything they are all going to leave anyway. Better to resign yourself to that fact and try and find that two star diamond to replace them with.

[DuffMcHog]

Give Houston some time on this. Before we offer, coach nutt needs to evaluate this guy and see if he could be used as a TE or something. We sure don't want any highly regarded QB's on campus. They turn out to be nothing but trouble (see gb, mm, etc.)., but if this guy could be a TE with good blocking skills, now there's a guy we could use. Assuming of course that he really, really wants to be a hog.

[fullfan]

Houston will want to evaluate him as a Tight End.  Say he could use a little more weight to pass block.   Look for him to work at TE at an upcoming HDN football camp. 

[PulledPork]

  Hopefully Youngblood will be wise enough not to go to a seond rate program in a third rate conference.

yeah, he does not need to choose arkansas!




Pulled out...

[jtgreer]

He already had offers from Arkansas State(D1) and UCA(D1-AA).  Also, the coaches have been down there evaluating him and two of his teammates, DeAnthony Curtis and Lavaunce Askew (who already have offers), so its not like the Broderick Green situation where they didnt show up until during his senior season.

[gjohnson80]

Youngblood is supposed to be tripping to A&M this weekend per Rivals.

[HogNuttz]

For years we heard about the cloud and how it hurt recruiting.  From 2002 thru 2006 our average recruiting ranking was 26.  Right now this class appears to be settling in somewhere in the mid 30s.  What will be the excuse now???

Exactly my point.  Houston's two year pass was not deserved, since he has proved it was him hindering recruiting and not the cloud.  Someone needs to realize this a place the blame for 2 losing seasons on him, not some booster 400 miles away.  Imagine that, a coach either taking responsiblity or being held accountable for it. 


It funny that having "the nuts" is great when you are playing poker, but even though our program, which feels like a gamble, has Nutts that completely ruin everything.

[paraloma]

The grass is always greener on the other side of the FENCE.

[LA HAWG]

Don't yall know the reason that Arkansas recruiting is so bad?  It's message boards people.

We have the best grass in the world and we get Gatorade.

[Swynler Durden]

That's what I hear. Apparently we're the only program in the country that has message boards where there are some fans who dislike the HC. I would have thought that there would at least be one or two others, but nope. Just us. Ruining the program. Right huggers?

[cosmodrum]

Gus racrewts gud playehs so fass it juss messis yew up!

[rzrbcks2120]

Is there a link to support this?

[WILL CLINTON]

a question or two or more out of ignorance ... where is youngblood from? how good is he as a passer? how mobile? arm strength? how many **** stars?

Youngblood is from Camden.  His stats are here http://www.hometeamsonline.com/footballteam/Profile.asp?username=JSTANLEY&playerID=21614   If you want to check them out.  He rushed for over 800 yds and 11 TD's last year, runs a 4.69.  His arm strength is his best attribute, he throws a 95 MPH fastball. 

[WILL CLINTON]

Is there a link to support this?

There are a couple of mods who can vouch for my knowledge on this subject.  I don't need a link. 

If any of the admin, or other mods would like to question me on this, I have no problem telling them where I got and get my information on this subject. 

[jtgreer]

Since when has tulsa been a "major D1 college"?

Is there a link to support this?

Dubyacee is 100% in the know on Jim and 95% on the other two in camden I vouch for him and will leave this board if he is wrong. This came right from the horses mouth. I promise.

[arkfanchip]

Dubyacee I got your back.

[paraloma]

Since when has tulsa been a "major D1 college"?

When they hired Malazahn.

[iCalledThatHogBrotha!]

  Hopefully Youngblood will be wise enough not to go to a seond rate program in a third rate conference.

Yeah he could always go to an 8th rate program in a 1st rate conference.

with a 4th rate coach

I was thinking more like 2348972348927053623094872349280572398506345th rate.  But that's just me.

[WILL CLINTON]

Gus can be the first guy to offer every five star player in the nation a scholarship and that does not change the fact that it is to play at Tulsa.  Go watch a game there some time and compare their atmosphere to ours. 

Besides this kid wants to play baseball and UA has already shown him interest.

[arkfanchip]

Other than having Jim or his dad post it, you are probably the most informed person on this site or any other.
