Y'know, a decade ago John Tate would likely have a UA offer.

We have, but sometimes we open the gate.

So what is the deal with Tate?  Why no offer?  Are we just too tight on numbers with greater needs at other positions?

How is that applicable?  We have committed everyone in the state we want for the second straight year, as well as the highest rated recruit.  We can't take them all.

Really, you can't find anyone on this list that we could possibly need?

Nope, not at all. We currently have offers out to guys we rate much higher. Actually, it's pretty clear.

Damarea Crockett is (to me) a bit of an unknown. 4* local RB. 5.11 212 right now. Looks decent on film. I would get him. I know CBB said that he never takes 3 RBs in one class, and that we are on (on paper) bigger names, but we will be thin on RBs next year. We don't know how Juan will play after so much rehab, we don't know if RW3 will be back next year, that leaves us with a lot of question marks. Getting Damarea Crockett and then ending up having enough RBs so that we can RS him would not be the end of the world.

You don't take any player just because they play a position of need. Everyone offered in Arkansas has committed to us. We have about 5 other RBs we rank ahead of Crockett. He camped at Arkansas, and the coaches still have not offered. Clearly the know something you don't about him. Not to mention his only SEC offer is Vandy. I am sure he is a great kid, and I hate seeing people who want to be Hogs leave the state without an offer, but the staff obviously feels good about one of the 4 4*or better RBs we are in the top 5 for right now.

This makes perfect sense and as I said before there is a big unknown concerning Crockett. His star-rating and stats looks decent so why haven't We and/or other SEC schools (Except Vandy) not offered? Oh well, the best of wishes for the kid and I hope we get some of the other big RBs still in play. WPS!

WPS bring them in and stock the cubbard.
If the South should lose, it means that the history of the heroic struggle will be written by the enemy, that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers, will be impressed by all of the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors and our maimed veterans as fit subjects for derision.
