Toby Weathersby to LSU

[Nosboar Accubond]

Agreed he is my #1 wish list recruit

[Huckleberry Pig]

Same here nosboar

[rwspear]

unless hes visiting both houston and ole miss this weekend, 247 is wrong

[Music City Hog]

the two LSU writers made crystal ball picks to LSU today.  Could be homerism or we may have some NSD drama after all.   Hope he ends up a Hog.

[Karma]

RD just said he's not as confident.

Yep, just noticed that, 3 picks today, fwiw.

[Potosihog]

RD just said he is not as optimistic as he was.  Man this would be a heartbreak.

[Music City Hog]

Didn't see RDs update. My bad.

Not looking good.

[Potosihog]

Auto incorrect got me on his name.

[hoglady]

His Mom visited LSU with him but didn't come to Arkansas,
That's been concerning.
Not looking good - coaches did all they could I'm sure.
It's tough to beat out LSU.

[davispard]

RD just said he is not as optimistic as he was.  Man this would be a heartbreak.

May be boiling down to the fact that Momma went to LSwho and not to Fayetteville??  JMO...

[secneahog]

It's a close race..what's there to say?

[GrizzlyRider07]

The thing that helps LSU is the fact that he can come in and maybe start as a freshman there, where if he comes here that isn't a guarantee here and he'd most likely redshirt. We have alot of depth at the oline but not so much at lsu.

They have 3 tackles already committed. .

[Wildhog]

They have 3 tackles already committed. .

And probably the best OL recruiter in the country. 

I appreciate the eternal optimism, but there's legitimate cause for some concern, too.

so if LSWho  has more depth on the OLine the. What makes early playing time the deciding factor sounds like your contradicting yourself.

I rather have Pittman....

[arlhog]

lsu is a cool place to go to school,  but can't imagine he'd really rather play for miles over cbb.   maybe a playing time thing, new car thing or something like that.

[Wildhog]

I rather have Pittman....

I love Pittman, too.  We should build him a fricking statue in front of the Stadium.

However, can we not objectively discuss other coaching staffs without taking it as an affront against our own?  Is that really too much to ask?

This will be a battle.  And our recruiting guys' feelings will probably change 50 more times between now and Wednesday.

[Qhog]

Distance?  Who knows.  He's kept it all very close to the vest, so we're just doing what we do.. 

[GrizzlyRider07]

reread my statement. I said lsu DOESN'T have alot of depth.

[ricepig]

reread my statement. I said lsu DOESN'T have alot of depth.

Well, we aren't eat up with depth either.

[Tomhog™]

We will find out in a couple of days either way.  Looks like LSU has swung the momentum away from the Hogs. Not a good sign.

LOL!  Fans live in a vacuum.  Didn't you know?  By kickoff of the SB today, there will be threads started for the purpose of minimizing Weathersby's talents.  "He's really not that great, I've seen the film.".  "we backed off of him.".  "We really didn't need another OT anyway.  We're set."

[MissippHog]

The fact that RD made a separate update just to say he's not as confident is concerning. 

Just goes to show how fickle recruiting is.  Hopefully CSP and CBB can have a word with him and reel him back in.

[Hog1952]

Well, we aren't eat up with depth either.

Well said....never enough!

[outlawhogeywells]

Rules need to at least allow airfare for one parent for official visits. His mom was able to attend Lsu visit since it was an easy drive.

[SwineGrind]

So in the mean time we take to twitter as creepy middle aged men and say positive things and wish him well no matter where he chooses.

What's twitter?

[woodhog14]

Momma wants him to go to LSU. Hard to say no to momma sometimes.

[HOGINTENNESSEE]

The NCAA paying for plane tickets of family members for official visits would greatly benefit the us.

[colbs]

Agreed. 

[songofthesword]

I've always felt after Merrick Toby was house money do to speak

[HawginTexas]

AC needs to talk to him about getting away from momma....

[Atlhogfan1]

Easy drive down I10 for mom.  That is often our handicap.  The I10 - I20 region has dominated college football. 

[MissippHog]

What's twitter?

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=toby+weathersby+twitter

[Tomhog™]

What it all means is he is probably telling the LSU coaches he will sign with them.  Wish he'd go anywhere else but the SEC West if not going to Arkansas.

[Bubba's Bruisers]

No Hill and now no Weathersby.  Thud.

Thank goodness for Jackson and Scott...maybe.

[Arkansasno1]

And Ole Miss guy just predicted him to LSU as well.  I hope we can swing this in the next couple days back to our favor.

That still didn't answer the question, what's twitter, not what is Toby's Twitter account, lol. Save yourself the trouble, it was a facetious question.

Aren't we entering into a dead or quiet period starting this evening?

[hoglady]

Maybe - no guarantee we'll get either one of them.
Looks like a disappointing close to recruiting - hope everyone else stays firm.

Which received a facetious answer 

[ricepig]

Yep, no in-person contact after 6pm today.

[Music City Hog]

This thing just sucks.  Almost every time tons of crystal balls roll in at the same time they come true and that's now 4 for LSU today.  Combined with RDs doubt, it's pretty apparent people know something.  This finish blows.  The class is good overall.  Pretty much what it always is, but I was really hoping to finish differently. 

[fullfan]

Fizzle to the finish.  CBB and staff will continue to recruit the right way and coach up who we get!  WPS :razorback:

[Bubba's Bruisers]

The class is very good relative to our historic standards.  Balanced with some actual defensive talent.  An apparent top flight QB too. 

But it tis setting up to be a wimper of a finish...seemingly.

Agreed

[Atlhogfan1]

When Arkansas is competing with OU and LSU for a top 20 Texas recruit from Houston, it may not work out for us.  Would prefer this than to taking low hanging fruit and not being in the picture.  Not sure how this blows, a fizzle or whimper.  It's a recruit staying closer to home and going to a program with more success.
