Early signee "official" sizes

[Biggus Piggus]

OL Dalton Wagner - 6-9, 315 (listed by 24/7 as 6-9, 312)
OL Shane Clenin - 6-6, 295 (listed as 6-6, 285)
OL Kirby Adcock - 6-5, 300 (listed as 6-5, 280)

RB Maleek Williams - 5-11, 230 (listed as 6-1, 215)
QB Dalton Hyatt - 6-4, 180 (listed as 6-4, 182)

CB Korey Hernandez - 5-10, 170 (listed as 6-0, 175)
LB Kyrei Fisher - 6-2, 235 (listed as 6-2, 230)

Who knows whether the heights/weights listed in the UA bios yesterday are right, but some of the numbers differ quite a bit from those listed on the 24/7 recruiting profiles.

I like Williams's 5-11, 230 much better than 6-1, 215.

didn't we get a JUCO WR and TE? or were they not early signees?

The heights/weights they used for those announcements came from recruitnik profiles.

okay, so no 'UA Official' measurements yet

I was actually surprised that most of what you listed were similar, with the exception of MW and CH

Yes, they put out the news after they received the paperwork, before the players arrived on campus. Arkansas couldn't announce the midterm freshmen until the first day of the spring semester.

Not if it slows him down...

[Jackrabbit Hog]

Has Vin Ascolese gained any weight yet?

[ricepig]

Nope, some say he looks like a ghost.

[Biggus Piggus]

Don't worry about that.

[Youngsta71701]

Don't worry about that.

So your saying he hasn't lost any speed? If not then that's great! We need some impact players with SEC type speed.

Cannot wait to see him running in a Hog uniform

[DeltaBoy]

Good looking bunch of young men , Glad I not paying to feed them.

Love the photo of Shane Clenin.  He looks a lot like OTR's cousin Festus, and Festus is meaner than a cottonmouth cornered in a grain bin.

[nchogg]

I like that photo also. Those linemen will be helping him off the turf after a tackle.  :razorback:

His HS listed weight was 225. If 5 pounds slows him noticeably down, then I'd be surprised.

Well, the 5lbs I put on at Christmas slowed my ass down considerably.........

[Youngsta71701]

The weight the OP has listed is 6'1, 215. That's the weight I was going by. A 15 pound increase.

[Jackrabbit Hog]

5 lbs of prunes will do that...

[ricepig]

5 lbs of prunes will do that...

If they rolled them in powdered sugar, or dipped them in almond bark, then they probably got eaten.....

[Three and Snout]

Wouldn't prunes speed his ass up?

[Jackrabbit Hog]

Would dang sure wear it out.

Hudl has him listed as 225. That's the problem with such things. You go to 3 different places and you probably get 3 different weights by 10 pounds, sometimes more. To further complicate things is that player's weights themselves are changing a lot.

no doubt.  they all have to be considered ball park numbers.  often players will bulk up in the off season and slim down during the season just due to work out schedules and eating habits etc.  its not like they do weigh ins before every game so we really don't know how much their weight fluxuates as the progress through the off season and into the season through the holidays and bowl season and back into the offseason.

[Oklahawg]

Is it an optical illusion, or does Fisher have some guns?

I think they should. That would be awesome for somebody who likes numbers like me.

[Amityvillehogger]

Lol, Maleek & Kyrei... looks like some 6th graders signed their names.

[PonderinHog]

First thing I noticed.

[Arthur pigby sellers.]

Just started to get excited about Martin and Patten.  Both these players looked like Men playing against boys in their highlights. They will likely be the difference between a good vs a potentially great offense next year.

Disagree. I think without those players, we have all the pieces for a great offense. I think the could be the difference between a great and an amazing one.

Yes Dalton Wagner Dan Skippers cousin lol. 6'9

[nwahogfan1]

I just hope we keep these guys at their ideal weight for them to use their athleticism for 4 quarters.  I get so tired of losing in the 2nd half and it seeming like every one has better athletes on the field than us.  I want speed baby.

With so many unproven guys on the outside? Hope you're right.

Looks like he could arm tackle a buffalo.

[Al Boarland]

Nice! Got any 40 or shuttle times?

resembles a hybrid between AC and JW, maybe a step faster top end.... that would work...

[Jackrabbit Hog]

I'd prefer that he form tackle that buffalo.
