I think there are some people on hogville that don't understand how big of a deal Dorian is. They see 3 star and that's it. As P.I.P has tried to make them understand,there is a big difference between a high 3 and low 3 star. He was the best de coming out of JC.
  Before the end of next year I think they will get it. He is going to be a monster in Chavis's defense.

WOW, just WOWWWWW!  This segment is a must listen and should be played for every kid we're recruiting.  Great job, Richard!

agreed. to me he is equal to Agim, and shows some 5* kids just havent quite developed enough in HS for that type rating. Gonna be NASTY with those 2 @ DE the next 2 years.

What was is his high school star rating? Star matter 🤩 big pick up WPS

What a great young man.

 The thing that sticks out to me is the lack of coverage our wild assed fan base has gotten nationally. I have a feeling that Morris and Company are going to get the word out and their will be fewer and fewer recruits surprised by our facilities, fans and NWA area in general. I have been saying for years that we have everything needed to compete with anyone else. It's just been a secret...

No stars, un-recruited...

That was a wonderful interview and he sounds like a well-grounded individual WITH the support of his family.  The support of a a child's parents is SO important.  They CAN overcome it but it takes someone else coming in and filling that void.  Mr Gerald said that his father asked him to not tell him-just pick what made him happy.  That was so unlike Jacob Copeland's mother and Alex Collins' mother.  One can see on Mr Copeland's face how hurt he was when his mother walked out of his ceremony after he chose florida over alabama and tennessee.
Best of everything Mr Gerald, and Mr Copeland.

Will be tough to overcome. Kid and parents have to see for themselves.

Thanks. A young man like Dorian makes it easy.

They will come when they see the progress a working staff can produce.

Great interview, and yeah, DG sounds like a super kid. Very sharp and very grounded. That was pretty wild though, hearing his decision was on-the-spot, or close to it (even though Arkansas had been in his head for awhile).

And I'm a little surprised he didn't know what the hog call was. He'll enjoy hearing the real thing, full blast, next Fall.

He visited mid-week so he didn't get the usual Catfish Hole reception.
