havent heard anything on the other three players yet

i expect that they will all sign before the end of the day though

I believe Andre Clark will not sign till he has a chance to make it back to Little Rock. Supposedly tomorrow

[sonicbob]

Per a credible source, looks right now as if Rotnei Clark is down to ORU and OSU.  The point guard we're signing from Virginia may deter him from the Hogs.  I hate this!  I was hoping to see his perimiter shooting for four years.  Things could change, but doesn't look promising at this point.

Well,  An ESPN writer seems to think he is going to wither ORU or OSU, BUT espn is not really up on their recruiting.  I would be interested who your credible source is.   Also not quite sure who you are talking about with the Virginia player?   Fortson is from N.C. and Joyner is from the West Coast by way of Mississippi.

The point guard I mentioned is Fortson, just got the wrong state.  Sorry! 

The source has deep AAU ties and is very connected.

I'll believe that when I see him sign with one of those and say that it came down to those two.  Until then, I don't believe your source at all.   :razorback:

[HootieHaterfromALA]

Out on us not getting Clark!!

[HootieHaterfromALA]

Sonicbob could be oru fan!!

[Hollywood_HOGan45]

that news is totally opposite of what i've been hearing but i guess we'll see.

[sonicbob]

No, just a Hog fan and I'm only telling what I was told at 1:30 today.  He is usually very accurate but he could miss on this one.  We'll have to wait and see.

I have a friend who is a Head Coach in the Big 12 and I know when Rotnei eliminated his school he told Coach Pelphrey he'd help us with him if he could.  I'll see if I can find out anything from that angle.

that would be a shame if he went to oru

and osu just now got in on him.

I figured if he came down two weeks in a row, we would at least be in his final two.

Ive heard the total opposite of what you're hearing but you never can tell.

at this point im ready for it to be over with.

Not to be rude in any regard, but all the news I've heard speaks different than yours Sonic.

Why would he come for an official visit to the Red/White game and then come back for an UNOFFICIAL visit for the West Florida game if he wasn't going to put us in his top two?  That just doesn't make sense to me.  Therefore, I don't believe that it's coming down to ORU/OSU.  I think it will come down to ORU/U of A, and he should/hopefully choose the U of A.

[sonicbob]

I hope your right and I'm wrong.  I would love to watch him knock down the outside jumper for four years.

I was hoping his grandmother would get us over the hump.  These things can change on a minutes notice.  Let's hope for the best.

Let me update ya before this gets out of hand..... Rontnie as of tonight has not eliminated Arkansas in fact I would say we are very much the front runners for his signature.
