Patton visiting USC this weekend.......

[ricepig]

So, what do we make of it? It's never good when one of your top commits takes a late visit to a top school. Looking or just taking a trip?

[ricepig]

Ok, according to others, he's rock solid and taking a visit the staff is ok with.

[King Kong]

As long as he is still a Razorback in the end I don't care.

Unfortunately, to get top players you have to deal with them visiting other top schools

[The real Hogules]

I don't know how correct this is, but I read that Patton was wanting to enroll early and the SEC has higher standards (requires more college hours/credits?) than do other conferences.
According to the article that I read it sounded as if he "might" not be able to enroll early at an SEC school and was weighing his options.

The SEC requires a math course that the Big 12 does not. If he is visiting USC I doubt grades are the issue.

But hey I could be wrong

[trashcan maN]

He's visiting USC in case he cannot get accepted to an SEC school due to more stringent transfer requirements.

[Deep Shoat]

Sadly, not going to be a Hog.

[Rockhawg]

OK'd by CBB, taking a trip with his family is the story from RD the recruiting Guy. Solid to the Hogs.

[razorbackfan4life]

Judging by his film he would step in immediately next year.  That's got to be encouraging for him.  Hopefully he stays all hog. 

[jackflash]

him needing to take more course to be hog. Don't like the sound of that

[Bubba's Bruisers]

Par for the course, though, when we pursue JUCO's.

[Pig in the Pokey]

want Patton bad, but, we are loaded at TE.

[greenie]

Agreed.  At this point, give me a LB, DB, DL, or OL.  Any of those.

[fullfan]

I do not see another TE on the commit list.   If we start hearing of another TE offer or sudden interest then we may know something on Patton.

[lumphog]

Well , after this Mizzou BS , he's GONE!!!!

We have a lot of TEs, but not a lot of experience

[ricepig]

Why, should seem like early playing time. If there is any truth to his class situation, that he may choose to go elsewhere. I haven't read anywhere else that it's a foregone conclusion on the class.

In the last two games we seemed to be playing our younger TE's more, so he may not see the immediate playing time. I hope we get him, but this visit worries me, especially if he really can't enroll early.

[Richard Davenport]

His Twitter says otherwise. If I had a dollar for every time Arkansas lost and a fans started saying some commitments will bail I would be one rich dude.

You aren't??

If Patton does what's asked of him he'll be in the league in two years. It's way too early to say that about Arkansas' other TEs. Cantrell is the only one that saw a lot of playing time.

[Richard Davenport]

No one has agreed to pay up. I'm waiting though.

So, it's confirmed he won't be a mid-term enrollee?

He will be here in June

This is why I hate the holier than thou rule that the SEC has on JUCO transfers.  Does not hurt a team like Bama as much since they get the cream of the crop in recruits and if one can't get in because of the rule they just go next.  But a program like Arkansas has a guy that could really help and he can't get into school. 
Didn't we loose a recruit last year to Cal because of this rule?  a lineman I think

Yeah, but seriously, isn't it College Algebra?? Half of our high school takes the AP course in the 11th grade if they aren't taking Calculus.

Well, you nailed it RD.......that was a PISSED POST..... Hope we get him

Yep. Lost him to Cal. CAL Berkeley one of the top academic universities in the country.

Are there any reports of how the USC visit went?

Did his twitter used to say U of A commit? Bc it don't now

Not sure but he still has his commitment tweet pinned at the top.

Didn't load on my phone browser. I see it on my comp. we will be running more two TE sets than ever next year with Patton. Will be able to split him out wide coming out of the huddle, get a real mismatch on the outside.
