#22?

[hawgwash]

Hey, somebody had to start it and its my turn!   

I say #22 is Mackey.

[gohogsgo006]

Mackey!

[jsimpso3]

mackey shows signed loi to va tech.
what did i miss?

[El Puerco]

I thought that guy was taking all his visits

[NaturalHog]

Razorhead 94 says he has a really strong feeling its gonna be Mackey

[brh]

Mackey did sign a LOI for Va. Tech, but due to something or another wound up in Hargrave for a year and now I believe he will come here by the end of the week

[RazorBassin]

Hamilton or Mackey...

[cmiller01]

Mackey

[sivad53]

all i know is this class is filling up fast, we should be proud to be razorback fans with the way these coaches go out and get players.  Im sure ben doesn't "love the helmet" he's from canada, but thats the point.  Players know that playing at an SEC school and playing for an EXCELLENT coach will get them into the league if they work hard.  We have really been taking advantage of by the lies that have been told to us the last ten years.  The future is exciting.

[Erockster20]

I think these threads are good luck for us!

[navyhog24]

well mackey and d'aguilar would count towards last year technically

[Michael Porkleone]

Come on Mackey!!!

Let's make this happen.

thank you

[oldbear]

It is Mackey, followed by Wingo and Richardson and Hamilton.  Then since we can count the two mid-termers on last years numbers come the two super secret ones.  Of course those are both five stars.  Man, I love dreaming and being all optimistic.

[Tusks]

If Mackey becomes a hog....with just him and what is committed so far....this is the best recruiting class the hogs have had in 25 years.

It is just good to have something to be optimistic about in recruiting.  I am so pumped for the things to come for this team.

[SquidBilly]

I think we see Worrillow jump on next since we now have two LBs committed and likely will only sign three.  The window is about to close on that position for this year's class.

[hawgsav1]

Everyone said Mackey for 19,20, and 21.  I say we don't get him til 25.

[Bubba's Bruisers]

So Rasner will be a safety then?

[The_Iceman]

Mackey would be huge for us!

[SquidBilly]

So Rasner will be a safety then?

I've always thought he was more of a safety type.  There was talk of him playing that hybrid position the coaches were using earlier but I think we've sinced abandoned that and gone back to a true 4-3.

[joshUARK]

Only if he's planning on walking on. No way he gets a schollie.

[Hogtropolis™]

It seems like it has to be Mackey, but the way things have been going, I will be happy with whoever this staff signs.

[SquidBilly]

Only if he's planning on walking on. No way he gets a schollie.

Why would the staff burn an official visit on a guy this early if they expected him only to be a walkon?

[Zen_Hog]

Haven't been this excited since the 06 class with Mustain.

[kibster]

Why would the staff burn an official visit on a guy this early if they expected him only to be a walkon?

He is a good friend of Mackey

[porcine1]

Why would the staff burn an official visit on a guy this early if they expected him only to be a walkon?

My guess is because he's good friends with Mackey and Mackey asked if he could come too.

[The real Hogules]

Why would the staff burn an official visit on a guy this early if they expected him only to be a walkon?

With most of our recruits already on board our coaching staff has visits to burn and allowed him to tag along, but I seriously doubt that Worrillow ever gets a scholarship offer from the Razorbacks.

While Worrillow may turn out to be a solid D-1 player, he would have to be considered a reach att this time and since this staff "so far" hasn't been doing any looking for diamonds in the rough, I doubt they start with Worrillow.

Big Leon Mackey gets my vote as well!

[Tusks]

what are the hogs chances with mackey?

50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% ? ? ?

[kingguter]

what are the hogs chances with mackey?

50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% ? ? ?

100%

[navyhog24]

worrilow wouldnt be too much of a reach. he was the defensive player of the year in delaware in high school. but for him to come here, he has to be offered a scholarship first. thats what he is looking for. he had offers from small schools out of high school but went to jc b/c he didnt like those offers and wanted a big school and not wanting to walk on. if he did walk on, then would be awesome though. you can never have too many linebackers that size and speed. most of our lb's are safety size or olb size

would the hogs be talking to him about being a preferred walk-on.

[ucahardhitter41]

I say we have a 70 percent chance with mackey from what I understand he is taking all of his visits and you never know what can go through his mind, hopefully he commits soon but i say we won't know until 2009.

[navyhog24]

could be. but from what others said is that he was visiting us b/c mackey asked if he could come along. but now coach petrino is gonna keep in touch with him and supposedly wants to talk tom him a lot more

[titanhawg]

We will know on Mackey before 2009 because he's a mid-term guy, unless he doesn't commit til early January.

[ucahardhitter41]

ok i forgot about that your right

[lovetailgatin]

Let's make sure we have room for 3. That is Wingo, Richardson, and Sentimore if they do decide to come here. But you know what is great to think that we have a chance with all these guys and they are 5*. Go HOGS

You can always have room.  In the past at many schools, players that have parents that are financially able have been asked to take one for the team and pay their own way to make room. But I got a feeling Petrino will cut some dead weight. Just my opinion.

[navyhog24]

i wouldnt doubt it if he did do that in the offseason by urging a few of the players to transfer elsewhere if they are not giving their all or are just not cutting it.

[jackflash]

I think it will be awhile before we know about Mackey, Wingo and Richardson are not visiting until later. I think it maybe Crawford this weekend?

[navyhog24]

crawford and leron furr are visiting this weekend

[tendu]

cobi

[cbjagman]

Petrino not surprisingly bests the other D1 coaches, including Carroll, at their
own game: he doesn't stop recruiting at the borders of the good ole U.S.A.
Now he's started recruiting INTERNATIONALLY! Once again BP raises the bar and
stardards. Hey Hootie, how ya like them apples?

[ucahardhitter41]

I'm going to say Crawford next Monday, Furr soon after

[Wildhog]

It'll be Cobi or Crawford, and it'll be within the next week.

Just to be clear - pulling current players' scholarships will not allow us to sign more in this class.  You can only give 25 schollies at a time.

It will, however, help to keep us under the 85 total limit...

You're right, and I believe there are several players on this team that deserve to have their freakin' schollies yanked.

[CPL HOG]

So what are the chances of getting Wingo

[Wildhog]

So what are the chances of getting Wingo

I'd say 50/50.  Us or Mizzou.

[pitbull1]

All I can say is Hootie better be glad he beat us this year, because this his last time!!
