Kid From Greenwood NOT Considering ARKANSAS ?

[BigDeal]

Is this some mistake on rivals.com ? What is going on here. I notice his speed is not the greatest, but wondering if he is not being recruited by Arkansas, or does he not like a pro-style offense ?

Arkansas offered JimmYoungblood over Tyler Wilson and they now have their 2 QB commits for this year.

[razorback3072]

DVH has offered him a schollie.  So not only is Nutt not the first coach in the SEC to offer a top in-state recruit a scholarship, he's not even the first coach at his own school to offer.  Nutt is "not sure about him because he may want to play baseball" but that hasn't stopped other SEC and top schools from offering him a schollie. 

[OKhogfan1959]

Another big mistake by Nutt. I guess they didn't want him. I know LSU wants him and he has as much talent throwing the ball and moves very well in the pocket. I think Tyler is right there with Mitch Mustain in throwing the ball and maybe even moves better in the pocket.

The Great Nutt has decided not to recruit Mr. Wilson.  He considered some other schools so obviously, he doesn't "want to be a Razorback" bad enough to play for Mr. Nutt.

oh, my sides. dude, thanks for the best laugh I've had all day.

[Richard_white]

Ask your buddy Nutt why he's been a day late and a dollar short with this kid?

(Hint: He might have had to actually work for him so he just took the kid who would fall over because of an offer from the Hogs, which usually speaks volumes for who was recruiting him prior when they are from Kansas)

You know this is so true.  If you don't have Arkansas as a top choice or your choice, then recruiting pretty much dies from that recruit.  Kodi, Broderick and Damian were prime examples 2 years ago.

Naaaw BigDeal, he keeps reading your unabashed Nutt-luv posts on Hogville and decided he didn't want to go to a school where the fans had no clue what was going on in the athletic dept. .

Funny Nutt wouldn't want a two-sport athlete since he aspired to be one while at Arkansas. Of course he always held that against MJ.

[BigHog396]

The coaching staff talked to him a while back, but the fact is he will NOT be a Hog.  I know more than a few people in Greenwood who have talked to the kid, and if there was any doubt before, they have convinced him to not give ol' Hooten the time of day.  Sounds like he will go to either Alabama or LSU, probably leaning toward 'Bama.

Typical of Hooten though, he has a potential star an hour from campus, and is one of the last to even start talking to him.  By the way big deal, he is trying to find a school that will run a pro-style offense, that is why he is probably going to 'Bama and has zero interest in the Hogs.

The exact reason '05 sucked.  If Nutt would have allowed MJ to play basketball for a year, red-shirting in football like MJ wanted to, we would have had MJ rather than RJ and CD in '05.  Can you imagine what that team could have done?  They were so close in nearly every game, with the exception of USC, that I believe the addition of MJ would have put us over the top that season.  Heck, CD could have red-shirted as a freshman.

Pretty good point there.  Nutt as head coach should set the strategic direction for his team and he has proven that he has trouble managing the QB position.

[Pork Twain]

I know that hating on Nutt is the thing to do but is it possible that Lee wants more dual threat Qbs for his offense???  Why offer to a guy that does not fit your style?

[THHAWG]

Its interesting that David Lee is brought in to install a pro style passing game, but they are recruiting dual-threat QB's.

[tophawg19]

dual threat means a running qb . mobile qb's means we are not going to run a pro style offense . look for a lot of moving pockets and roll outs . look for qb's to get killed.

[IronHog]

USC runs plenty of naked bootlegs and roll outs and they do well.................


Youngblood is a good looking athlete with the potential to be a very good college QB.  He looks more like a pro-style guy who has the wheels to run also.

[THHAWG]

Man, roll-outs with Monk on an out and a fullback as a relief valve.........seems deadly.

[tophawg19]

yes but they have plenty of good qb's . it's a high risk if you only have one or two qb;s . youngblood is a good qb, and a better young man . this kid is trading cardinal red for hog red and has pored his heart into it. wonder what his phone bill looks like

Ok, it's official now - BigDeal is a darksider in hugger's clothing.  BigDeal, I'll give you credit - you really  had me wondering for a long time.  Welcome!

[Newport Hog]

This is insane Lee coming from the NFL were Running QB's never really work out and by the way the Cowboys didnt even have that. But yet he will bring this crap to Arkansas great!!!!!!!!  Why Why cant we have a drop back passer in a pro style system a passing system.  It likes its a SIN or something for Arkansas to be nothing more than a running team with a little  bit of ability to throw!!!!!!! LOL

Didn't Franky say last year he wanted a mobile QB with the kind of offense we were using?  Maybe this is the reason why we recruited the 2 we have.

What a perfectly pithy expression of my own personal feelings as well!

[Realist]

Hes a 3 star QB, Youngblood is a 4 star.  Yet you complain when Youngblood is clearly the better pro style QB and not just some pass happy spread QB

I don't think it will matter.  I now believe that Ty and Youngblood will both play pro ball.

we don't want a throwing qb, us fans need to get used to that.  they want another quinn grovey

Hey BigDeal He is smarter than the average Nut.

[Annax10]

Hes a 3 star QB, Youngblood is a 4 star.  Yet you complain when Youngblood is clearly the better pro style QB and not just some pass happy spread QB

Per Rivals.com, they are both 3 stars.  And Youngblood is listed as a dual-threat, not pro-style.  If Nutt and Lee are looking at improving passing, Wilson is a better choice.  His pass completion was 67.7% with 4,222 yards last season.  Youngblood had 58.9% pass completion with 2,022 yards.

That is the problem.  They want a Matt Jones type QB.  Matt was a freak in college but wasn't a true QB.  He would have been better at WR. 

[Hogs-n-Roses]

Just looks like Nutt learned from his mistakes and recruited a QB that fit his system the best not the one who looks like a better passer. Nutt does not want a prostyle QB, it don't fit the Run Run Run style he likes.

We had the #1 or #2 QB(depending on which recruiting service you look at) in the country last year and now he's gone.  so how will having the #5 or #21 QB change things now?

http://footballrecruiting.rivals.com/viewprospect.asp?pr_key=56871

You're kidding, right?  What has Lee or Houston Nutt ever done to make you thinkthat they will all of a sudden start running a "pro-style" offense?  After nine years of Nutt we know he isn't going to institute it.  Lee, he brought the option with him for Matt Jones to run.  Both QB commits we have are DUAL THREAT.  What does this say?  Sounds like more radar option if you ask me.  I hope not but history tells me yes.

I'm glad Wilson put the restraint on or I would have told you that you have rocks in your head.  This post is a prime example but I won't resort to that.  I can make my point just fine although it would be nice to add some emphasis for fun but I understand folks get too worked up.

If you'll re-read my post, you'll notice that I did not call for us to pick between Youngblood and Wilson.  Youngblood is not from Kansas.  I'd like to have both.

SO you're not happy about Pick then? I personally would like to have both Youngblood and Wilson on our team, but understand the danger in recruiting 2 kids that are likely to go into pro baseball rather than play college football.

Yes, but we have two scholarships that we're going to use for the QB position. One has already been accepted by Youngblood, if Wilson were to accept the other than they both decided to go to pro baseball , that would leave us with ZERO QB recruits. That would not be good.

Folks, LSU, Alabama, California, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Hawaii, Tulsa weren't scared he could play baseball. Further proof that Nutt can't recruit a QB.

(Don't use 2005 as an example Sunshine pumpers, we know why Mustain came here)

That's about the truest statement with Nutt and QBs there is. Funny...Nutt was a QB and he can't recruit them.

No, I'm not happy one bit about Pick.  I would fine with his recruitment if the following two items were true:

1)  Nutt wasn't so late on Wilson and chose to be lazy rather than recruit. 
2)  He had more big time schools recruiting him. 

All we hear is about improving the passing game, yet Nutt doesn't want the kid who can throw the ball who is only an hour and a half away.  It's pure hogwash.

The excuse about baseball doesn't apply:
1)  Youngblood could play baseball too.  It doesn't how matter how many QBs leave.  If 1 or 20 go, they are no help to your team.
2)  Even if both of these kids go, we have plenty of QBs, unless you believe last year's class was a dud (which I do).  Nathan Dick may be able to help but I don't think Chaisson is big enough or fast enough to cut it in the SEC.

I agree with you about last years class, and so think that it is crucial that we have at least one QB that we know will be on campus out of this particular recruiting class. It is far from a sure thing that either Youngblood or Wilson play college football, and I can understand not wanting to use your 2 scholarships on 2 kids that may not even show up on campus. We took the chance on one, but that other scholarship MUST be used for a kid that we are POSITIVE will be on campus.

[Albert Einswine]

dual threat means a running qb . mobile qb's means we are not going to run a pro style offense . look for a lot of moving pockets and roll outs . look for qb's to get killed.

Don't forget the last time David Lee was brought here his vast knowledge of the mid-line option was touted as a key reason for bringing him back.

Now its for a Pro Style offense?  Give me a break.

but he coached Tony Romo, haven't you heard?

I still say he's coming in here to help DMAC learn to read the option and we will see him at QB in the shotgun with Jones in motion and Hillis at FB.  Here comes the triple option from the shotgun as a mainstay.  Watch and see.

No.  not as long as he made an effort to go after them.  He doesn't do that though.  He never did an in-home with MM and he was the #1 QB and only 10 minutes away.  If you don't show interest in your own in-state people then you will never build a championship team.
