Richard Davenport's Friday recruiting column

[Hogstocking]

Excellent as usual, but I really love this: 

ADAMS WATCH Central Arkansas Christian receiver Joe Adams, who orally committed to Southern Cal over the summer, will take an official visit to Arkansas this weekend. He'll visit Southern Cal next weekend. Those are the only two visits Adams has planned. Assistant coach Tim Horton took over Adams' recruitment after former running backs coach Danny Nutt stepped down because of health concerns, and Adams has credited Horton for his renewed interest in the Razorbacks. The hiring of Coach Bobby Petrino and his in-home visit with Adams in December has put the Hogs in serious contention for the talented athlete, and I really like Arkansas' chances of landing Adams.

The last time you really liked Arkansas' chances, we got Mallett :razorback:

Adams would be a great get, as would P. Hill!  P. Hill looks a lot bigger than 6-1 180lbs...I watched him play Klein Oak this year.  He plays in the district where I reside.  I didn't think The Hogs were even in on him.  Let me say this...he took DeSean Hales(sp?) to school (Texas WR recruit).  Hill will bring the wood!  I bet he ends up a safety in college.  Both Adams and Hill would look great in the Hogs secondary!

I would say after reading that article that CBP is working smartly this season. He knows hes not gonna sweep in and steal the rivals 250 from the teams that recently won a BCS game so he is going after solid role players and trying really hard to get the best skill players available. Ive heard some compare his recruiting to Nutts but there is a difference. Ive never heard the volume of names or visits coming in like this before. I do think its telling that he is on these recruits like this yet he seems to have "overlooked" a name or two. You have to know he aint strokin egos.

Adams is a "must-get" in my book.  Not only do the Hogs need him, but something needs to be done about USC making inroads into Arkansas....gotta stop that pipeline at some point.

Further down it talks about Houston Pruitt getting an offer from Tulsa.  Gosh I would hate to have that name, it would almost be as bad as Teresa Nutt.

With a name like that, he had to go out of state.  He would never have lived it down in arkansas.

He has not gone out of state, he just got an offer from Tulsa.
