*Official* Gerry Bohanon goes to.......

[Pig in the Pokey]

Some Hog fans are letting him have it on twitter b/c of the fake hat disrespect. That was a dumb move.

[Peter Porker]

Apparently, he would have flipped to Arkansas if the coaching staff would have met one condition: pull Noland's offer.

[arkansasbred]

I really feel as if we ended up with the better quarterback. I felt it before GB picked a school and I still feel that way.

that what they are insinuating. And if that's true, just wow. Good riddance.

[cosmodrum]

Does he keep the Hog hat or get a take it and the receipt back to Tractor Supply for a refund

i bet he borrowed it from a kid at school. looked like a gas station hat.

So tell us oh great one. Why DO they sometimes leave I mean since you obviously have all the answers.

Just the comments and how adults act when kids make a decision they feel is best for them. It's alright to disagree with the decision but all the negative personal comments...too much. Besides a lot athletes before him have left Arkansas and done much better than they ever could had they stayed.

Arkansas has practically no history in showcasing and developing dual threat QB's. While I agree that Morris is different...evidently that was not enough to convince him.

[Boardon Hamsay]

Good luck to the kid!

i agree adults acting stupid, but IF and a big IF he wanted the Hogs to pull Nolan's offer, and he is obviously going to a terrible team in Baylor where their only QB just transferred it does smell like the kid wanted to be assured of starting from day one and that is just unrealistic to ask or promise.

I mean i hope the kid does well but i just don't see how.  Baylor is toast.

[Boss Hog in the Arkansas]

Bielema era still biting us in the ass! Luckily an angel landed in Fayetteville 2 weeks ago. Actually he wasn't an angel, red bull just gave him wings...

You actually believe that a high school kid that's never played a down of college football would demand such a condition and think it would be accepted. Noland committed like a year ago? If that was the demand he never was seriously thinking on coming here because no school in a P-5 conference would agree to such a demand like that!

I feel that we lost this kid from the start because I kept hearing code words like we can recruit him as an athlete. That's a synonym for moving him WR after his freshman year.

[redeye]

Can't believe he chose Baylor of all places.

Same here.  I don't recall Arkansas ever losing an instate player to Baylor, but I'm sure it's happened somewhere along the way.

[FrJoseph]

Oh yeah? What exactly is it telling you?

That Bama and Auburn wasn't recruiting him at QB and he doesn't have enough confidence to want to compete at AR for the starting job.

Not code words.  He wasn't being promised he would stay at qb.  Nothing coded about it.

Look at his other choices.  Not like he had his pick among elite programs.

Baylor's selling points to him:
Baptist - (they fail to act like it often with their athletic teams but they still use the facade)
RG III
Recent offense

It won't be discussed.  zebra is dancing around it some and a poster every now and then will say it, Arkansas has an image issue with some African Americans in state including qb's.  It's been since Grovey since an AA qb played consistently and well at Arkansas.  DMac in the Wildcat not counting. 

Our previous staff was honest with him on whether they would keep him at qb.  Obviously if he came in and wowed, I'm sure they would have.  But they weren't going to promise him.  And if they had and had stayed and it didn't work out at qb, see the paragraph above for the "message" some would take from it.  I'm good with a staff being honest with recruits especially in state. 

[moses_007]

This is turning into an awful week for our recruiting.  I don't think Morris is the recruiter many here thought he was.

[onebadrubi]

Oh yeah? What exactly is it telling you?

Well, for beginners people bashed the previous staff for their approach on this kid.  Yet all of his SEC offers and contacts appear to have been similar, no guarantee at QB. 

Second, a few around here lately who wanted to act as if they were in the know, swore he was a silent commit to an SEC school, which was nothing more than SEC rumor. 

It is telling because the kid was set on going somewhere that his first spring INT he wasn't going to be asked to move to another position.  He went somewhere he will for sure be QB and can learn the position by taking lumps.

The fact that his final table of hats had no real power contenders also says where his decision position wise ranked with the national contenders, which coincidently is also the people who we are held accountable against by the same people wanting Bohanon and bashing the previous staff for not pursuing him harder. 

[Hogtimes]

No top schools as choices that speaks volume on his talent level

Sad that we were one of his choices.

[HoggusMaximus]

who are we to determine the kids future just let the kid go where he wants to go. do you really want him if he doesn't want to be here?

[Pumbaa]

Good luck to the kid. I don't believe he ever would have taken a snap at QB for us and that's what he really wanted to do. Cole was QB1 with or without him. Noland may be just as good and I think we have a decent chance at flipping Gunnell (gut feeling).

[Hogtimes]

Apparently, he would have flipped to Arkansas if the coaching staff would have met one condition: pull Noland's offer.

I have a hard time believing that.   No one is naive enough to think a school would pull a player's scholarship that had been committed for several months.   That sounds like sour grapes to me.  He chose another school, fans need to accept it and move on.

[jackflash]

good luck at Baylor

[Justifiable Hogicide]

Welcome to Waco
What a Whacko choice

[colbs]

This is turning into an awful week for our recruiting.  I don't think Morris is the recruiter many here thought he was.

Gerry said he decided on Baylor a month ago.

[phadedhawg]

Baylor has proven they will do whatever is necessary to stand behind players and I seriously doubt the boosters behave any differently now.   

I'm sure there was something to sweeten the pot a bit.  Why else would a kid with potential go to school in a dumpster fire in Waco.

[#1 STUNNA]

Baylor now has a top 25 class after going 1-11.... dumpster fire!!!!!

[WooPig90]

It's not sour grapes and its not fans that say this. This came straight from GB's mouth to our coaching staff, so if you dont want to believe it and you just be upset about it then thats all on you

[zebradynasty]

This is turning into an awful week for our recruiting.  I don't think Morris is the recruiter many here thought he was.

Was anyone expecting him to bring in a top 10 class? Given the current state of football on the hill...top 50 (way too optimistic) was max even had BB stayed. I'm not counting this class against Morris, too much chaos to expect a bunch of flips and highly rated players this late in the year.

[zebradynasty]

Only way I believe that is I see a source. Not, "I heard from someone he told the coaches...."

[cosmodrum]

This is turning into an awful week for our recruiting.  I don't think Morris is the recruiter many here thought he was.

Why, bc of Banks and GB? Banks was gone as soon as UF offered, and GB wants a guarantee to play, so he chose Baylor.

The sky isn't falling.

[WooPig90]

Dont really care if you believe it honestly..

Dumpster fire vs Chinese Fire Drill...

[WooPig90]

Hes scared of competition, thats all there is to it, and by knowing that im fine with him not being here

[zebradynasty]

Right just post a lie and it's OK! Honestly....

[zebradynasty]

Another speculation YOU decided as factual.

[Sivad]

Between his "hat fake" to the Hogs and his demanding he be the only QB in the class - let him drift into utter oblivion in beautiful Waco, TX.

[sickboy]

I'm not just saying this because he chose Baylor. You can go back and see where I said this as early as last year, but that kid's throwing motion is going to take some serious work. I don't see the quick release some were touting last week. He's as athletic as can be, but the guy is going to have to work really hard to become a throwing QB.

I think Gunnell is a better future prospect and if there's a QB everyone should be fawning over it's him.

[BroyledNutts]

Who else has Gunnell been offered by .... that's what we should concern ourselves with.

[daprospecta]

It was definitely a thing when I was on the hill.  Everyone knew T.J. was a good qb. He had a rocket arm but Matt Jones was the heir apparent. I love the hogs but if I have a son playing QB, he isn't going to Arkansas.  Any other position, he's a hog but not QB.

[GuvHog]

He was committed to A&M but when Arkansas hired Morris, he backed off of that commitment and re-opened his recruiting.

Funny thing, QB hasn't been an issue for us in a decade. 

[BroyledNutts]

So he's currently open to suggestions ...

[WooPig90]

Another speculation YOU decided as factual.

Nope, i know from a pretty good source so its pretty close to a fact

[King Kong]

Who else has Gunnell been offered by .... that's what we should concern ourselves with.

Absolutely everyone

[pigture perfect]

I would like to have had him. He was a great piece to this puzzle. Our staff was just behind in time of recruiting. No hard feelings. We will develop any QB that come here so I'm not worried about it.

[BroyledNutts]

Absolutely everyone

If he's been offered by the heavies around us Morris will have his work cut out for him ... I feel his decommittment from A&M was more about their coaching change than an increased interest in Arkansas.

If the rumors that Arkansas is now #4 on his list have merit, who are the 3 above us?

[lg1989]

I hope the best for the young man, but the only way he's suiting up for Baylor is at receiver. He'll be catching passes from Charlie Brewer, for the next 3 years. Charlie led Lake Travis High School to the Texas State Championship in 2016 and he won Big 12 Offensive Freshman of Year in 2017.

Technically hasn't decommited from A&M and Jimbo was after him hard at FSU
