so yancy thinks cotton is going to ole miss.

my bad, i just assumed it was yancy.  didn't even read the article.

so yancy thinks cotton is going to ole miss.

yeah ole piss writer putting out an article saying he is going there....most likely....probably.....haven't we heard this before?

[donewithdale]

Well a few of us called Cotton to OM last night.  Now I don't believe anything a Rivals 'writer' says.  Yancey is one of the biggest liars amongst liars.  But Dale is destined to luck out again and the cause is Auburn's stupidity which will save his recruiting class.

[TrojanHog]

Yancey is famous for floating that every major recruit is headed to Ole Miss.  Even the Ole Miss fans laugh about it. 

[passinghog]

If he visits Arkansas, I'm betting he signs with us, if we offer. (someone clarify whether we have or not)
I've met and talked with coach Garrick McGee on a number of occasions, he's very impressive; no way does a kid like Cotton NOT want him to be his position coach.

OM Qb coach Kent Austin vs. Garrick McGee is a mismatch in my opinion.

I have a feeling this will come down to signing day or at least early February.

[gohogsgo006]

Nutt has to be the luckiest guy in the world. It is crazy. He is Larry Coker reincarnate (minus the national championship hopes)

Yancey works for Scout.  This article is from Rivals.

Don't underestimate:

Dale's luck

The stories he has been told of Matt Jones

The Wild Rebel Propaganda

The fact our depth chart has two very good young qb's on it.

American's are gullible.  Your profile pic is proof of that.

Wrong.
Please don't derail this thread by the way.

1. Our depth chart has 2 good young QBs on it, with 2 unproven young Qbs.
2. Cotton is a QB, why would he want to run the wild-rebel? He uses that to lure pure athletes to OM
3. My profile pic proves when faced with competence vs. incompetence in 2008, SMART people choose competence.

The Arkansas staff is more competent than the OM staff. You're underestimating Cotton SR's influence in his son's decision. He's a smart man.

[Melorock089]

Kodi burns 2.0 if he goes to ole miss.

[LJHOG]

Does Barak Obama have any eligability left??  I mean given the choice between bein' the QB for the Hogs or prez anyone in his right mind would pick being our QB.
"3. My profile pic proves when faced with competence vs. incompetence in 2008, SMART people choose competence."  But Obama won anyway.

[jonesark™]

I don't think we get this guy....I think dale grabs him another freebie.

[The_Iceman]

Tuberville might have helped Nutt alot more than we had wished for him.

he is going to get credit for a good recruiting class when he deserves NONE!

[jonesark™]

do we have cotton scheduled for a visit?

[songofthesword]

even with, nutt wont' crack the top 35

[Porkette]

Ths is so typical of Nutt. If he gets Cotton, it will be not only pure-luck success because of Auburn, but also as a result of his own poor recruiting (by not having a QB already committed).

Arkansas fans need not even waste our energy being annoyed by this stuff anymore with Nutt. However undeserving, the guy always comes out ahead. He probably always will.

[Darren McChadden]

Raymond Cotton = Robert Johnson

Plus, we have 3 capable QB's already on campus.  Personally, I'd rather use the schollie on a defensive player.

[RunnerHog]

I think Gary Beshears called him and put in a good word for TCTWF as a great QB coach.... We don't need Cotton.

We need some tuff, mean SOB's. We need a couple of Thugs, one at safety would be good.  We need some 6'3" 235 Pound LB's. You know kind of like Tyrell Graham.

lol so a presidential candidate making the statement that there are 57 states is an example of competence???  HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[passinghog]

enough with the political crap.

This is the recruiting board, take the politcal mess to the politics board.

Title of the thread is "Cotton names a new leader" not "I can't get over the the presidential election."

[Hogstocking]

In the article he says "Right now ole miss is probably my #1"...He also says Arkansas is still in there and he plans to take his visits. 

With NSD right around the corner be careful what you read/believe this time of year (especially from ole miss journalists), the BS gets really thick

[notreseveredname]

more worried about gaines than cotton

[The real Hogules]

Here's Yancy's article and while he quotes the father as saying nice things about Old Myth, I can't find a single time where R.C. Sr. says his son is a lock for Old Myth.

See Robert Johnson.  My thoughts exactly.

[The real Hogules]

CBP seems more interested in Bryce Petty than Raymond Cotton.

[The_Bionic_Pig]

CBP seems more interested in Bryce Petty than Raymond Cotton.

Mr. Petty was scheduled to camp at Arkansas on June 21st but got a offer from Coach Phillip Fulmer on June 17th before he could attend and committed the next day after sleeping on it.

[dianne fineswine]

I think Gary Beshears called him and put in a good word for TCTWF as a great QB coach.... We don't need Cotton.

No. I'm pretty sure it was a conference call with Mitch Mustain and T Jack.

Sound like Grit wrote that article.

Given your Avatar, you may be the one who brings the politics to this board. Maybe a little self evaluation would be in order.

[Hollywood_HOGan45]

dont fret

if nuttjob gets him, he will have him playing as well as Robert Johnson in no time.

[jdhogster]

Anyone who would fall for nutt's bogus sell on being a quarterback for him (after seeing what all was exposed over the past few years) would tell me one of two things:  a.) the kid isn't that smart and wouldn't really be able to comprehend a complex system like BP's anyway  or b.)  the kid lives under a rock and doesn't know what a tv is

[HogNuttz]

Cotton to Ole Miss = severely one dimensional offense.

That's fine with me.  We've got good young QB's and receivers.  I don't think he is nearly as important as the defensive recruits we're after.

[josh_sec33]

Going to Ole Miss would severly hamper his chance of going to the NFL.

Name one QB who has gone to the NFL to play QB under TCTWF's tenure anywhere.

Oh wait...there isn't one.

T Jackson. LOL

Seriously, I'm not concerned about our position recruiting wise.  The defense is my concern.  However, if this kid is looking at TCTWF and Bobby Petrino and having doubts about who the best coach for a QB to play for, I question his decision making capacity.  If he is looking at our depth chart and seeking to avoid competition, he would never see the field here anyway.  If he is a stud talent and goes to Ol Myth, he will never be any better than the HS qb he is currently and we will have better talent on the field gameday anyway.  Any way you look at it Arkansas wins.  If he was choosing between us and LSU or Bama, this would be a bigger deal.

I aint stickin up for TCTWF but, Tavaris Jackson is playing for the Vikings right now. That has nothing whatsoever to do with the coaching he got while a Hog, but, he did play under HDN, and is now in the League.

Doesn't count.

I know I'm stating the obvious; but T Jackson looked absolutely awful when he played here. It says something when he got better coaching at Alabama State then he received at Arkansas.

Besides I think the big thing is that Cotton won't be coached up at all if he goes to Ole Miss; so it's not even a big deal if we lose him.

[ChicoHog]

Cotton is probably looking at the depth chart also. Snead has two years left at most and their backups may not be as ready as ours.  this year they threw the ball pretty decently, especially at the rnd of the year as Snead really improved.  I'm sure Nutt is showing him those tapes, not the tapes of Casey dick or Mustain handing off the mc Fadden or Jones.

[The Boar War]

Cotton going to or naming Ole Miss as a leader doesn't bother me in the least.  Ole Miss picking him up helps our chances of picking up Claude Johnson on the next recruiting class.

[DeltaBoy]

My worry is that with out paw paw Frank and Jim messing with him that Nutt might do better than we think. 
Cotton is good kid and I hope becomes a hog.

[RazorBassin]

I don't think that losing Cotton would be a big loss to us.  I tell you what, Nutt can have Cotton and we'll take Gaines!

[Oklahawg]

Fine, I'll do it. It was an appropriate request.

Now, back to making fun of Nutt and wishing for Cotton to become a Hog.

[DriveByHogger]

Also Mike Cherry (Murray State) played a couple of seasons with the Giants I think. Clint Stoerner and Ryan Sorahan had cups of coffee in the league also.

[opineonswine]

QB's don't do well with Nutt.  (the understatement of the century) 

[opineonswine]

23 recruits.  4 RB's, 2 Athletes and 0 QB's.  I guess Nutt wants to cut out the middle man and run the wild rebel full time now.

The REAL truth is he considers HIMSELF to be the shot callah, QB.  Don't need anyone else for that job or OC...he's the best his mind can imagine.

[jry04]

This is not meaning to derail the thread, but I have seen numerous comments about Robert Johnson. Johnson actually could have been a good QB with the right coaching. We have seen Nutt's lack of ability to coach a QB. Casey wasn't the best, but we saw the improvements he made from Nutt to Petrino. Johnson had talent, and really didn't do that bad against USC. His team definitely didn't help him with Felix fumbling 4 times in the first half. He was just the scape goat so that Mustain could start that year. 

We all see how Jackson has turned out starting for the Vikings.
