2016 Big Board

[MH04]

2016 Big Board

Star Rankings: I took the top ranking from either 247, rivals, espn, or scout for each recruit.

Commits: 5
1.   WR: Jordan Jones: *** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2199831/jordan-jones
2.   DT: Austin Capps: **** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2430061/austin-capps
3.   ATH: TJ Hammonds: **** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/1905248/tj-hammonds
4.   DL: Briston Guidry: **** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2588775/briston-guidry
5.   QB: Cole Kelley: *** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/3137127/cole-kelley
6.      LB: De'jon Harris: *** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/3308614/dejon-harris

RB:
-   Devin White: Could also be listed as an athlete but should he choose to come to Arkansas he will be a running back. We are more in this race than people think, LSU will be tough competition but we are no doubt in his top 3 maybe top 2. ****  http://www.hudl.com/athlete/1881930/devin-white
-   Elijah Holyfield: We have made him a huge priority but he looks to be an Auburn lean at this point. **** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2956430/elijah-holyfield
-   Devwah Whaley: Recently made the cut for his top 10 and he plans to visit this summer. **** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2628796/devwah-whaley
-   Kyle Porter: Another Texas back, coaches would love to have him but I'm not sure where we stand with him. **** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2628796/devwah-whaley
-   Tre Turner: Decommitted from Miss St. and we may be getting back on him. **** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/1465982/tre-turner
-   D'Vaughn Pennamon: Big back from Texas who has expressed fairly high interest in the hogs. *** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2807273/dvaughn-pennamon
-   Dedrick Mills: Georgia back with some great offers should visit Arkansas this summer. *** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/1495850/dedrick-mills
-   Damarea Crockett: In state running back with some good offers. Will camp at Arkansas this summer with a good chance to earn an offer. Good friends with TJ Hammonds. *** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2625784/damarea-crockett

Arkansas will probably take 2-3 running backs in 2016. They would like to get at least one of the top tier backs (White, Holyfield, Whaley, and Porter/Turner) and then probably Crockett who has great potential.

WR:
-   Isaiah Graham: Visited Arkansas numerous times and we have to be considered the favorite. Will wait to see our new offense during the season before making his final decision. **** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/1726332/isaiah-graham
-   Kofi Boateng: Arkansas is probably in his top 5 or 6. *** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/750068/kofi-boateng
-   Audie Omotosho: Enjoyed Arkansas on his visit, we have as good of a shot at him as any. *** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2878033/audie-omotosho
-   Kiel Pollard: Teammate of 2015 hog signee TJ Smith. *** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/1713963/kiel-pollard
-       Tyrie Cleveland: Big receiver out of Texas who plans to visit in June according to RD. **** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/1629576/tyrie-cleveland

We are probably looking to take one more WR at this point. Top choice would be Graham followed by Omotosho/Pollard.

TE: Not sure where we stand on any TEs at this point

OL:
-   Willie Allen: One of the top players of 2016 hogs are after him as is everyone else. ***** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/1636111/willie-allen
-   Terrance Davis: Hogs just made his top 10. **** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/1824681/terrance-davis
-   Frank Martin: Was high on the hogs early and is a long shot at this point. **** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2698711/frank-martin-ii
-   Jean Delance: Pittboss is on this former Oklahoma commit. Hogs have a fair chance at him. **** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/4181744/jean-delance
-   Kellen Diesch: Planning to commit within the month and I think the hogs get him. *** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2155703/kellen-diesch
-   Scott Lashley: Recently committed and very soon after decommitted from Mississippi State. **** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2866348/scott-lashley
-   Branton Autry: A big-time juco prospect visited by Pittman. NR http://www.hudl.com/athlete/3972583/branton-autry
-   Garett Bolles: Another big time Juco prospect formerly committed to BYU. **** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/4281490/garett-bolles
-   Denzel Okafor: Big guard from Texas who's recruiting is taking off. *** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2601049/denzel-okafor
-   Josh Ball: Recent offer from Virginia. **** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/1653780/josh-ball
-   Rowdy Frederick: Hogs have not offered yet, very underrated prospect. *** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2163344/rowdy-frederick
-   Boe Wilson: Has very good family ties to the hogs, his recruiting is starting to heat up.  NR http://www.hudl.com/athlete/1560662/boe-wilson
-   Samuel Williams: In state prospect with a chance to earn some offers this summer. ** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/3085365/samuel-williams

The offensive line recruiting is very fluid at this point. Hogs will sign anywhere from 4-6.

DE:
-   Mctelvin Agim: Best player to come out of Arkansas in a while. I think he will commit to Arkansas in September: ***** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2628324/mctelvin-agim
-   Caleb Roddy: Very slim chance that he ends up with the hogs. *** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2620596/caleb-roddy
-   Keir Thomas: Florida State commitment that is in contact with Arkansas and will visit.  **** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/3831998/keir-thomas
-       John Tate: In state guy with some good offers who has a chance to earn one at camp. **** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2379166/john-tate

Hogs will probably take 2, Agim will be one of them.

DT:
-   Chris Daniels: Did not make his recent top 10, probably because the Hogs haven't offered yet. **** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2065514/chris-daniels
-   Dexter Lawrence: Have heard that he will visit, offers from everyone. ***** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/1728960/dexter-lawrence-ii
-   Kendell Jones: Hogs missed his top 5 but according to RD he will still visit this summer, recently committed to Alabama. **** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/3117193/highlights/93014381/v2
-   Cameron Murray: A very good DT from Arkansas who will camp in Fayetteville this summer.  *** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/3082533/cameron-murray
-       Nick McCann: In-state prospect from Texarkana who has blown up recently. *** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2782194/nick-mccann

Razorbacks have 2 committed but could take one more, would be either Daniels or Lawrence.

LB:
-   Dontavious Jackson: Big-time MLB, will be tough to get him out of Texas. **** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2596862/dontavious-jackson
-   Erroll Thompson: Will visit the hogs this summer, could also play DE. *** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/1480789/erroll-thompson
-   Deontre Hardwick: Just invited to army AA game. If he makes his grades he will be a hog. **** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2433938/deontre-hardwick
-   Donavan Thompson: Teammates with Florida State commitment Keir Thomas, recruited by Vernon Hargreaves and will visit this summer. *** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/3315816/donavan-thompson
-   Jordan Carmouche: Hogs were his 2nd offer after Houston, I expect him to officially visit the Hogs. *** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2678020/jordan-carmouche
-   Michael Divinity: Teammates with De'jon Harris, hogs are in newly released top 15 and will visit this summer. **** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/1614504/michael-divinity
-   Ja'Quain Blakely: Another former teammate of TJ Smith. *** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/4071679/jaquain-blakely
-   Calvin Bundage: Wants to play FS but will end up at OLB. Hogs and Oklahoma are in the race for him. *** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/4121533/calvin-bundage

DB:
-   Kristian Fulton: Teammate of commit Briston Guidry, will be tough to steal him from LSU. **** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/1832162/kristian-fulton
-   Eric Cuffee: Will visit Arkansas June 6th.  **** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2261876/eric-cuffee
-   Parrish Cobb: Hogs are a longshot to get Cobb. *** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2193271/parrish-cobb
-   Tyrone Mahone: Another in stater with a chance to earn a hog offer. *** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/1253718/tyrone-mahone
-   Kiondre Thomas: In state DB prospect with elite speed who will camp at Arkansas, recently offered by Mississippi State. *** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/1166487/kiondre-thomas
-   Rakeem Hightower: Another teammate of TJ Smith.  ** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/4076506/rakeem-hightower
-   Dillon Stoner: Hogs have to be the favorite for Stoner at this point. NR
-   http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2657176/dillon-stoner

Hogs will probably get Stoner, one of the in-state guys, and a bigger named prospect such as Cuffee or Fulton.

ATH:
-   Aubrey White: Interesting recruitment, pretty sure the hogs are still involved. *** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/3290049/aubrey-white
-   Tyrell Alexander: Committed to Okie Lite but still interested in the Razorbacks. *** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/3414561/tyrell-alexander
-   Ca'Ron Baham: Just committed to Missouri, do not know if he still plans to visit this summer or not. *** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2607517/caron-baham
-   Cleo Floyd: In state prospect who has put himself in position to earn an offer at camp. *** http://www.hudl.com/athlete/3077801/clarence-floyd

[Lights Out]

Dexter Lawrence is like the Ndamukong Suh of high school football offers from everywhere.
His Father was a hellavu linebacker for those great Dollarway Teams in late 80's and early 90's. He played along side Eric Hobbs. When you got hit by one of them you felt like you have been ran over by a bus.

[PaintballHog]

Good news on Whaley, he's predicted leader, A&M, just got a rb transfer from OU, who will be eligible the same year as Whaley. If his main goal is playing time, this is good news for us.

Appreciate your work, MH04.  This time of year is tough for some of us football junkies, and this really helps to bide time, as well as educate me.  Thanks.

You can add another OL to the list.  We offered Donavaughn Campbell of Ponchatoula, LA today.   He's a 6'4, 347lb 4* OG who's committed to LSU.  Not sure how much chance we have, but it happened.

[HulkHoggin]

Cole Kelley is 4* per ESPN.

+1 thanx redeye!

[redeye]

There are rumors that Keir Thomas won't sign with FSU.  I don't know if it's FSU or Thomas making that decision, or if it has anything to do with Arkansas, but I figured I'd put it out here.

+1 thanx redeye!

Yea, no problem.

[ChiTown27]

We need to have this on page 1 so it's easy to speculate.
