east arkansas is now

[LoseAnutt]

rebel country. recruiting kids out of the delta will be a nightmare now.

[Newport Hog]

not really just kids we dont want!!!!

[Razorhio]

Ah, much like Northwest Arkansas was Hog Country for recruiting?  I won't be losing any sleep.

[jesterzzn]

BS.  Zimba lived in Rogers and still left.  Nutt is a great recruiter of kids that already want to come to his school.  

[RazrBakr]

No way!  A-state is as strong a pull as ever there.  Nutt coldn't recruit Arkansas while he was here.  Won't be any different now.  Miss schools always got our 2nd-raters...

[Barman91]

wow, a real hotbed of recruits

[ark30inf]

Hyperventilating.  No way.

Give those kids a reason to come to the U of A to play and there will be no contest with Ole Miss or any other college. 

[rhinohog84]

Not going to happen.  All the high school coaches didn't think much of Nutt at Fayetteville.  More kids will go to Arkansas b/c they want to be Razorbacks.  The past couple of years their coaches have told them to go elsewhere and not squander their future.

[LoseAnutt]

wow, a real hotbed of recruits

ya marcus monk sucks.

[bcshog]

Nutt's not a recruiter.  One word, Broderick Green.

[WilsonHog]

I live in northeast Arkansas, and we're not talking about a recruiting hotbed.

[N HOG]

Nutt's not a recruiter.  One word, Broderick Green.

Technically, isn't that two words?

[LoseAnutt]

deangelo williams didnt wanna be a hog bad enough

[WilsonHog]

ya marcus monk sucks.

One kid?

One?

Tell me how many other Marcus Monks have been produced in the last 20 years compared to the rest our roster?

Give me a percentage breakdown.

[LegsMcNone]

Dammit, people, Nutt CANNOT RECRUIT. Guys like McFadden, Hillis and Monk were coming to Fayetteville regardless. The Arkansas kids who weren't as passionate about Hog football went elsewhere more often than not. He couldn't recruit Arkansas when he was at Arkansas.

[Barman91]

ya marcus monk sucks.

not from the delta.  east poinsett county my friend

[Razorhio]

BS.  Zimba lived in Rogers and still left.  Nutt is a great recruiter of kids that already want to come to his school.  

Bingo.  Let's not forget Burns in Ft. Smith or Mallett in Texarkana.  Or that not a single one of the Springdale 5 was planning to come to the Hill until the Nuttster "hired" Gus.

[SwinedMelon]

They don't qualify at Arkansas and they won't at OM, either.

[WilsonHog]

not from the delta.  east poinsett county my friend

I live in the Delta, and EPC is 15 minutes from my house. 

[SwinedMelon]

I hope Nutt takes his fence with him. I saw a hole.

[LoseAnutt]

not from the delta.  east poinsett county my friend

pointsett county is in the middle of the delta. between jonesboro and wynne.

[LoseAnutt]

[WilsonHog]

Here, let me help:

Rivercrest - Richard Brothers, Stephen Marshall, Tyrone Henry

Osceola - Mark Baker, Chris Baker, Bo Mosley

Newport - Billy Warren, Theo Young, Justin Brown

Blytheville - Ozzie Riley, Bruce Hay

Wynne - Cord Gray

Gosnell - Justin Brown

Jonesboro - Grant Cook, Zac Painter

Trumann - none

Nettleton - none

Valley View - none

Westside - none

Pocahontas - Jim Hart

Cherry Valley - Wayne Martin

Lepanto/EPC - Freddy Barnes, Marcus Monk

Marion - Jerry Franklin

West Memphis - D'Arrius Howard

That's 21 players to Arkansas in about 32 years.

[N HOG]

Well, not really -- but it is in the Delta.

[Barman91]

depends on how you define the "delta"

[N HOG]

depends on how you define the "delta"

I can assure you when you drive from Lepanto to Tyronza you are in the Delta.

[jml]

Are we really worried about this buffoon? Please, he lost the recruits who were on the fence anyway.

[Big Papa Satan]

Wynne - Cord Gray

Also Arrion Dixon.  Was a senior in 2004.

East Arkansas will never be "rebel country", and this is coming from an East Arkansan.

[Immensehog]

We used to have several good recruits from the Delta.

Bradley from Barton.

Several guys from Marianna in the 80's whose names are escaping me.

Houston from Clarendon who went to Tenn.

DeAngelo from Wynne to Memphis.

Rivercrest had several, Cortez Kenndey, others whose names escape me.

Nutt has never really pulled squat from the delta.

[Barman91]

well, not to someone who grew up in this area.  not that any of this matters worth a shiit when it comes to the hogs and being rid of hdn....

Not to mention Osceola's Jonathan Adams and Harold James.

Arkansas lost Cortez Kennedy to Miami when Jimmy Johnson pulled off his national championship ring, handed it to Curt, and said, "Son, how would you like to have one of those?"   

[WMHawgfan]

Recruiting Arkansas is not what we need to worry about. Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana are full of talent. We need a coach who can recruit these states if we are going to compete at the level we want to be at. If you get the right coach and the right system he really won't have to recruit Arkansas, the kids will want to be hogs anyway.

[CWAYHAWG]

NUTT DIDN'T DO A GOOD JOB OF RECRUITING ARKANSAS WHEN HE WAS IN ARKANSAS.  GOING TO OLE MISS WON'T CHANGE THAT.  BY THE WAY READ THE ARTICLE INTO'S DEMOZETTE ON THE 19 COMMITMENTS.  ALMOST ALL OF THEM SAY THEY'RE STILL COMING TO ARK AND THE ONES THAT MIGHT REOPEN THEIR RECRUITING SAYS IT DEPENDS ON WHAT HAPPENS TO THE POSITION COACH THAT RECRUITED THEM AND WHAT COACHING STAFF WE BRING IN.  ALMOST NO ONE SAID THEY'LL NOT COME BECAUSE NUTT IS NOT HERE. 

JONATHAN ADAMS HIGHLEY RECRUITED OUT OF CAC AND COMMITTED TO USC SAID HE MIGHT RECONSIDER AND COME TO ARK IF THE NEW COACH HAS MORE WIDE OPEN OFFENSIVE PHILOSOPHY.  IN OTHER WORDS, NUTT WAS THE REASON HE WOULDN'T COME TO ARK.

[ark30inf]

East Arkansas has a lot of people looking.  Arkansas, Memphis, Ole Miss, Arkansas State, Tennessee, etc.  It is NOT going to become Ole Miss fortress just because Nutt went to Ole Miss.  Good grief.

without yelling....what he said......twice over

[humphrey]

Nutt couldn't recreuit players from the delta (or any other part of the state except for LR) to come to UA, so what makes you think he will get them to come to OM? 

[bartonbear]

Hey, don't forget Melvin Bradley from good ole Barton. He was Danny Ford's, though.

[GrizzledHogFan]

Dammit, people, Nutt CANNOT RECRUIT. Guys like McFadden, Hillis and Monk were coming to Fayetteville regardless. The Arkansas kids who weren't as passionate about Hog football went elsewhere more often than not. He couldn't recruit Arkansas when he was at Arkansas.

Bingo.

Here, let me help:

Rivercrest - Richard Brothers, Stephen Marshall, Tyrone Henry

Osceola - Mark Baker, Chris Baker, Bo Mosley Add to that David Barrett

[Criskahta]

Osceola-David Barrett

[Randy Machoman Savage]

I am from eastern arkansas and it is the armpit of the state.  Every once in a blue moon you will get a talented player like D'angelo Williams from Wynne.  Which I think he would not have made it in the SEC.

[Criskahta]

David Barrett-Osceola

Sorry if this reposted fifty times the post wouldnt show

[Boarsnest]

rebel country. recruiting kids out of the delta will be a nightmare now.

I live in southeast Ar, Nutt hasn't recruited here well for Ar. I know the Helm's and he screwed that one up! He has already lost players from Warren in the past. The only thing positive that I have heard this year is our High school coach says that Tim Horton calls him every couple of weeks checking on possible recruits. Nutt and company have not done that in the past!

[bartonbear]

I wouldn't worry about Nutt, he isn't very well respected in Eastern AR.

[HoggySTruman]

Recruiting Arkansas is not what we need to worry about. Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana are full of talent. We need a coach who can recruit these states if we are going to compete at the level we want to be at. If you get the right coach and the right system he really won't have to recruit Arkansas, the kids will want to be hogs anyway.

This is exactly correct.

[TLFHAWG]

One kid?

One?

Tell me how many other Marcus Monks have been produced in the last 20 years compared to the rest our roster?

Give me a percentage breakdown.

If its one or ten, you would think UA would want the best players.  Maybe things will change now.  Maybe our new coach will recruit the entire state.

[arkrzrbacks]

 Not sure where you got your info, but Stuttgart and Dewitt love the hogs. Just didn't love Nutt, so crawl back across the Mississipi river and kiss up there.
