And so it begins

Thanks for information RD

Sorry was I was going modify and screwed up and deleted. It's still fluid.

[Dwight_K_Shrute]

.....It's still fluid.

So is our line play

[The_Boot_stops_here]

Well, this stinks but it happens with a lame duck coach...

I'll believe that when me s*** turns purple, and smells like rainbow sherbet.

Well, that's the story he told to Danny, who knows? You've got a kid, feed her some of that birthday cake with purple icing, the color will change, although I doubt it smells like sherbet.

It was tweeted 2 or more hours ago and the tweet is still up.  If someone had hacked my account I'd be logging on and deleting any BS they may have tweeted so it doesn't piss off my future coaches.

Meaning the official decommit is eminent.

[Athog]

And so it begins

It is like a wounded duck and the negative recruiting starts.

[Seebs]

It is simple guys. We salvage what we can from the class and hope the new guy has some talent that will follow him in.

[Pig in the Pokey]

he got pranked by his boy. You guys are so damn timid it's an embarrassment.

Lemme guess, it is b/c he's a ou commit now b/c we got our ass kicked last week by a bum team. Oh, wait, that WAS ou. nm.

[jjdlc]

You guys do realize he is actually still committed right?

I swear some of you won't be happy unless he really does de-committ.

If a player committed to a particular coach or coaching staff and now it's looking like that staff may be gone, you can't be surprised when players de-commit.  You can't have it both ways.  Call for the coach to be fired and then blame the coach when recruits de-commit.

Trolls plan attacks like this to put false ideas in recruit's heads.

[Pork Ranger]

Well just because a recruit says or doesn't say anything at all - they are all shaky in their commitment right now and in wait and see mode.

Sure, some commit to the school but they are obviously very concerned about what will happen with the coach they committed too and eager to see who's next should he be removed.

[mhuff]

Well, while that may be true. A true fan will keep his or her mouth shut to not stir the pot perhaps needlessly. Regardless, it does not help your home school to come on talk boards and vent your frustrations that encourage our commits to start looking elsewhere. Otherwise you care more about yourself than you do about the repercussions of running ones mouth. I would say after the fact would be a better time to discuss negative things.

The naivety of some of you is noted.
There will be turnover in this class from the mere fact players want stability and our coach is, and has been, in the lead for firing coaches web sites and being called out by the local media. If you think recruits are getting the skinny form the message boards or this turmoil is somehow hidden from them you have lost your collective minds.

I fully expect some turnover with the turmoil goin on.  However, that does not change the fact that as of right now Mr. Gooden is still committed to the Hogs.

Yes. However this is the fourth episode of 'is he still committed' I have read.  He is also the one recruit that was quoted as saying ' my commitment depends on how the season goes'.  Fans can do the math.  I do hope we get him, he is a talent. I look forward to being surprised.

[aloha_kid]

You guys act like he's never committed somewhere before.  He may or may not stay, it's his choice.  But, you have to believe the fan base and their knee jerk reactions may have some impact on a recruits decision.  And this fan base is one of the worst for over-reacting and then going out and blasting a recruit on their social media.

100%. Arkansas twitter users need to live by the "say something nice, or say nothing at all" mantra when tweeting at recruits (heavily leaning toward the "say nothing at all" side of that)

[The_Boot_stops_here]

I'd be shocked if he signs with us.

You and I both

[jgphillips3]

We have 12 spots available.  They can all decommit and it won't kill us.  Might even give the new coach a leg up.

[redleg]

Gooden is still committed.

and you act like you have a terrible case of Poor-lil-ole-arkiesaw syndrome.

Loose comments like this will cause us to lose several kids, stop it now!!!!!!!!!

[texas tush hog]

Gooden is still committed.

He is committed as much to Sosa as he is to this staff. They want to play together . If you are indeed a Hog fan, stop the negativity about our recruits, not helpful at all. We all need to refrain from it, myself included.



Mods, can you not only lock this thread,but toss it in the trash, please.

Yeah because this fanbase has never went to a former commits twitter and blasted them, or are you tweeting one now?

[Pig in the Pokey]

What? He hasnt ever decommitted from us. And I have much better uses for my time than tweeting recruits lmao. But, seriously, why would you GAF if somebody rips a FORMER recruit on twitter? If you dont have thick enough skin for the internet, dont internet. simple.
