Does this mean we lose Ziemba too?

[Hogwild07]

Now that Burns is signing with Auburn, do we even have a chance at Ziemba?  I heard they have become close friends and plan on choosing the same school.  So basically we just lost the 2 biggest recruits in the state......(3 including Broderick Green).  Our 2 biggest recruits so far this year have been TEs.  This class isnt looking to good.....

[Dreadnaught38]

It certainly can't help yo

[HoggyWood]

4 months til Signing Day... there's still a lot of time to assemble a good class.

[geoffhog]

Burns said a few months ago that he and Lee wanted to go to the same school, but Lee has said they would do what was best for each of them. Don't write him off yet. He cancelled his Auburn trip, due to the early kickoff of their game, and will be here for Tennessee.

Doesn't look good right now. If he holds off committing until the situation on the hill clears up, I think we have shot. If he commits right now, I'ld say AU.

[SigPig]

A good idea might be to offer Kirby.  Surely he and Ziemba are good friends too.

[Hong Kong Sooey]

Lee is a lot closer to being  a Tiger than he is to being a Hog.  Both of his parents are Auburn Alumns.  Couple that with Kodi committing to Auburn, and we have little chance at Lee.  A change at the top might make a difference, but I'm not even sure that will.

[go hogues]

At least we got a good kicker.  

[HoggyWood]

Yeah, if HDN would get fired every 5 star blue chip recruit would flock to Fayetteville.

[The real Hogules]

Lee's comments the other night on the radio were pretty telling, IMHO.
I hope I'm wrong, but I believe he'll be an AU Tiger in the end.

[3kgthog]

He'll be here for Tennessee because it's a big game and a free ticket. Many of us would probably take a visit to Ohio St. vs Michigan just to see that game in person even if we had no intention of signing at either school.

Move over Sidney, Marvin and Ron. James Anderson, Burns, and Ziemba are the new triplets.

Well, maybe not ALL 5* would show up, but I'd bet a far larger number of big time recruits would show up without HDN at Arkansas than will show up with HDN still at Arkansas!

[whatsshakinbacon]

How does one go 8-1, get ranked close to the top ten, and lose the state's top two (or speculate three) recruits to out of state schools?  Is this recruiting class being tanked on purpose?  Or are we this inept?  Great fence Mr. Nutt. 

One has to wonder.

Bacon out...

[hog_fan]

Rick wants us to think he will come as long as the staff stays. I think he committs to Auburn after his team finishes playing and after he visits Auburn.

And poor Pinalto who had to settle for Texas because we had too many receivers. Well if you are only going to run, I guess he is right.

Agreed.

[Hugehogsfan]

I am glad to think that all these top recruits are leaving.  I guess that means that after this fine year that we will start our downfall again.

[rayzorbacks]

maybe i hop not

[LeadHog]

I expect to lose Ziemba.  Both of his parents are Auburn grads.  I'm an Arkansas grad and I would be making a HUGE pitch for him to attend my school no matter where I lived.

[Torqued pork]

Can HDN not create an opening on the staff for Ziemba's coach? That seems to be the only way he can keep the top two or three in-state kids from leaving these days.

How about Markuson's spot?

[SPAL]

we will lose LZ, but not because we lost Kodi.

[FootballHog]

Are Ziemba and Burns the same person?

[RockyMtOysters]

A good idea might be to offer Kirby.  Surely he and Ziemba are good friends too.

Maybe we could hire his head coach as the new Offensive line coach?

Wow, are you drinking Auburn Orange Kool-Aid.  You are way off base.  Check your facts and come back with real info.

Kodi made his decision when we were 0-0 so our record helped but not enough and for the record Kodi said today that Nutt replacing MM with CD really helped also (let him know that the U of A would be fair in playing the best player).  This was not Nutt's or Malzahn's fault.  It is just a young man who is trying to do what he feels is best for him.

Couple that with Kodi committing to Auburn.  Kodi committing to Auburn will not effect Lee.  This is what Kodi said today in response to the question of whether or not he & Lee would be going to the same school "WE WOULD HAVE ANNOUNCED ON THE SAME DAY".
A change at the top might make a difference, but I'm not even sure that will.  A change at the top would not improve our chances to get Ziemba.  He is close to the Hog staff and respects them.  Check out where he spent last summer.
Silly assumptions and wild accusations do not help our chances with any of these young men, so check your facts before you post or make sure that you label your post so that people realize that it is just your beliefs and not based upon actual facts/events.

Then you would be putting your own self-interest over your child's.  Ziemba would be better off athletically and academically as a Razorback, and that's all that should matter.

These are NOT a true statements. What IS a true statement is the fact that talk like this does much more harm than good. Thanks Guys and Gals. Keep up the good work Hog fans.

[Cold_Roses_80]

bad news

[mj4president]

This does not affect Ziemba at all. Ziemba is now leaning more towards the Hogs than he was a few weeks ago. In the end Ziemba will be a hog and Burns a Tiger. I know a lot more than any of you on this situation.

[SPAL]

dana, what we know isnt gonna sit well with these huggers...u know that right.

[HatfieldHog]

The loss of Kodi hurts this years recruiting class.  There is no way to spin it any other way.  He was a good player, and in-state kid, and we wiff on him.  Ziemba?  I guess that we'll have to wait to find out, but we must have him.

If Nutt cannot manage a class that ranks in the top 20 after the year we are having on the field, then you guys can look forward to more 500, or losing seasons in just 3 short years.  No depth, O-line problems, D-line problems.

Recruiting is the name of College Football.

See ya

[Flatline]

There are excuses for losing Kodi according to the spin doctors.  They tell you that Kodi did not want to come here because we have two good young QB's.  That is B.S.  Kodi Burns would never walk away from competition. 

Lee will probably go to Auburn and the excuse will be that his father was an Auburn Alumni. 

I have seen Tommy Tubberville on the sidelines at Northside High School on a Friday night when he had a home game at Auburn the next day.

I never saw Nutt on the sidelines.

[Hums]

Only is dad is a AU Grad and dont believe anyone who "claims" to know where he is going.
