New Video of Hog RB target (UH lean)

[WizardofhOgZ]

Everyone else that follows Razorback recruiting at all is aware of their top targets at RB.  However, one frequently mentoned as having some interest in Arkansas that I haven't paid much attention to is Kyle Porter (Katy, TX).  I ran across this video of highlights from the first 5 games of the current season, and was impressed.  Thought I'd share it with everyone here.

Looks like a solid option, espeically if we miss on White and Whaley. I wouldn't be opposed to taking Porter and one of those two.

It's not like Arkansas will miss on White or Whaley, it's more like White or Whaley will miss on Arkansas.

Long time til NSD.

Long time til NSD.

He's still probably right though

[WorfHog]

He's still probably right though

The next lottery numbers are 7-28-32-43-1.

[Wildhog]

Yeah, I probably am right.

[arkansasrazorback]

Yeah, I probably am right.

you aren't probably right.  you are 100% right

[luke hawg]

I think this kid is our best realistic option.

[FoozeyHog]

We need to bottle the water from Katy TX, and start cooking all school lunches in NWA with it.

or, we need to get the chicken darn out of ours....

kept saying the same thing... thought he can't pull that bounce outside in college, but he didn't get caught from behind either... is he being recruited by Nebraska?, looks like he already plays for them...

[ChicoHog]

In RD's article about him it was mentioned he does not have a twitter account and does not seek attention.  That fact makes me like him even more.  He will be tough to get as many big time schools are after him.

Well, we've got 200+ carries to offer as a true freshman in the SEC.

Obviously Katys coaches didn't care what CBB had to say at that convention. I don't think I saw a single snap out of shotgun in that video. They had a FB in there too.

Whats Katy's record so far this year?

[jackflash]

I believe were going to have the best year in recruiting Texas. Then we have had in along time

[Pig in the Pokey]

He dances around a little too much but he does have decent feet...(i was thinking) and then Boom, the vid turns to him gashing defenses. On those plays where he hit the hole hard he was downright explosive.

[jgphillips3]

There's nothing there not to like.  Good speed, north-south running (perfect for us), bounces off contact, good leg drive, very fluid runner...looks like so many backs Bielema had at Wisconsin.

[770john111]

Alex Collins with speed. I would be happy with that pick up

[Wildhog]

If we could somehow sign Porter and flip Pennamon, that'd be an outstanding haul.  Those are actually legitimate SEC RB's.

[AugustaHog]

I agree that pennamon and porter are much more likely.  Whaley is a complete long shot, and White seems to be set elsewhere as well.  Pennamon and Porter seem interested and open at this point.

[ChicoHog]

I see that White will be at the FSU/Miami game this weekend in Tallahassee.

Porter received a crystal ball prediction for Arkansas yesterday but it was from Otis so take it for what it's worth.

8-0 in 6A. One of, if not the, best teams in Texas overall.

[Wmhog]

Porter and Pennamon would be excellent pick ups but dont sleep on Tray Ragas out of New Orleans.  He interestered and is having an amazing Sr. season.

[scruf]

or, we need to get the chicken darn out of ours....

ahahahahaha! Nice! +1

[sickboy]

Kid jukes so hard I'd bet the doctor had trouble squaring him up when he came out the womb.

[HogWall Jackson]

His OL did a Spectacular Job on that film. Last year's RB from Katy is at )OU.

I really, really like this kid.  I hope he comes here.  Now, obviously if we were only taking two, everyone would want White and Whaley but, if we get only one of those two (or neither) this kid is nipping at their heels as far as I'm concerned.  I'd put him even with Pennamon as my next preference beyond W & W.

[FrozenHam]

Agreed.  Really like Porter on film, LOVE his offensive line.  Huge holes in the first half of that video complemented by excellent downfield blocking, and Porter takes full advantage of it.

He looked good last night  Kyle Porter gained 166 yards and two touchdowns on 16 carries in his return from injury as Katy beat Cy Ranch in a playoff game

[Pig in the Pokey]

Yeah, I probably am right.

still think that?

Otis is one of the people with the highest percentage of correct predictions for Arkansas. Part of this is based on getting more info on recruits than people who cover other schools, but I think his prediction is worth quite a bit. RD has also stated that our chances are better than most people think with Whalley.

I am one of those who thinks we have a decent chance with White and I think his current legal problems - which I think will be resolved with him doing some community service - will perhaps improve our chances.

One reason I think we will get at least one of our major targets is that the coaching staff has not been turning to Plan B. Usually they have back ups that they are working at the same time as their major targets. When they were recruiting KJ Hill, they were also monitoring Dominique Reed's academics. I think they would have taken Dominique even if Hill had come to Arkansas (btw, compare the year Reed is having and the year KJ is having and you have to feel good about getting Reed). Right now they don't seem to be looking at additional running backs. They apparently seem confident that they are going to land two out of White, Whalley, Pennamon, and Porter. Or perhaps with our sudden depth at WR they have already decided to put TJ Hammonds at running back (he actually is having a more impressive year running the football than any of our remaining major targets - Hammond's yards per carry average is usually only seen in NCAA football video games played on Easy.

[scruf]

Who cares? Plenty of other great options out there bearing other names. This staff will find a guy or guys who will go for 1000+ in this offense.

Just watched his senior highlights......wow.  Feeling better about the situation.  Speed like that is rare.

I remember last off-season someone suggested that CBB wasn't worried about speed because of his B1G pedigree. The use of Reed and Cornelius, plus the "jumps off the screen" speed of Hammonds should squash that. In fact, I suspect CBB is wanting to upgrade speed at several positions.

As we have seen of late - having a bruiser (Walker) is needed but having a game-breaker (Collins) is necessary as well.

[Prestworthy]

Hammonds speed and explosiveness reminds me of....dare I say it....KM.

[Buck Ocean]

I was at the gym this morning, watching the high school show on FS Southwest, and the Katy highlights were first.  Some runningback burst up the middle and to the outside, smoked everyone for 60 or 70 yards.  Please tell me this is the kid Porter.  Please.

looks like more moves than KM, who only showed straight line speed ...

Agreed.  Hammonds cut and lost very little speed

[Buck Ocean]
