Chris Daniels back on the market

[Airforcehawg]

I know our guys made a strong push for him late in the process...will be interesting if they go after him again.

would be nice.

[Ham Ham Pigelow]

There's a reason why Arkansas backed off in the first place.

We went after him pretty hard at the end?

[outlawhogeywells]

If he can contribute then you still take him.  I don't think we are in the position to turn down talented players. 

[King Kong]

We need Dlineman bad

[jackflash]

I would make another push for him

I believe that Daniels didn't qualify until right before NSD. We put a full court press on him and sent like the entire defensive staff down to see him.

Your correct. 

[HardingHog]

I'd take him. We can never have enough big, talented d linemen. When would he be eligible to play?

Correct, but the staff wouldn't touch him because they didn't think he would qualify. They ultimately took a chance because, well, this staff knew they were under pressure to win quickly.  They did the same with Brandon Martin, who is who everybody thought he was.  So I got the order wrong, but the principle was the same on Daniels.  Daniels had a reputation of being lazy on/off the field. 

[Richard Davenport]

Your correct. 

Texas offered late too.

[hawgmasta]

Weren't we pretty much in his top 3 before his decision? You would have to think we're still in it.

[greenEGnHAWGS]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it a little early for him to be already be ready to transfer?

[HardingHog]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it a little early for him to be already be ready to transfer?

This is his second season there, and he was recruited and signed by the previous staff so it makes sense to see him heading out. I'd also imagine Strong and Herman are rather different coaches to play for

[KlubhouseKonnected]

He got his feel hurt when Arkansas did not give him a committable offer until he had qualified. Doubt he is going to do an about face now

[Muskliketusk]

He'll be a hog an make up for missing out last time.

Supposedly Herman and Orlando have really been giving the d line guys strict workouts and they are dropping like flys.  Completely my guess, they are trying to trim them down and get them more pre pared to plat more snaps.  Their brand of football now is going to require a high stamina defense

Wow...has it been 2 signing periods already since the Chris Daniels drama?
