Malzahn and Tulsa first major D-1 program to offer #1 QB in state for 2008

[WILL CLINTON]

Jim Youngblood just got an offer from Gus himself.

Looks like Arkansas will be bringing up the rear.

Jim has no offer from Arkansas.

CF's RB and DL has been offered, but Youngblood hasn't.  I swear the Arkansas staff is retarded...

Ok so I may have messed up saying UA has offered but I am even more sure that LSU has. No remember he has stated he wants to sign with a school that will let him be starting QB on the FB team and a starting pitcher on the Baseball team. So if you want him just as a pitcher or just at a QB you more then likely won't get him. I read on Scout.com that he has been clocked by professional scouts at 95 mph

Wrong again.  Jim has no offer from LSU.  Jim has stated that he would like to be able to play football and baseball in college, but starting never has been a part of it.  Of course he, like every other athlete would want to, but he has never stated that starting was an issue.  Secondly, he knows he may have to make a decision between the two, but only if it is absolutely necessary.  He was clocked at 95 MPH, while he was a sophmore, or between his SO. and JR. season. 

[blueshog2001]

I would like to see all 3 of these boys commit to the Hogs.  But we are going to sit on our hands and do nothing.  Hopefully after Nutt's presser next Wednesday he will be flying down to Camden.

[mbgrulz]

with the NC QB and now offering youngblood, would it be fair to assume that Gus is pretty sure MM will go elsewhere?

[WILL CLINTON]

Nutt will probably want to evaluate him at TE.  Maybe he can come to Houston's football camp.

Been there, done that.  he was also the only Jr. invited to the Elite 11 QB camp last fall. 

[WILL CLINTON]

with the NC QB and now offering youngblood, would it be fair to assume that Gus is pretty sure MM will go elsewhere?

I think Gus is intelligent enough to know that you need more than one good QB.

something that the current staff cant figure out.

did broderick green really committ to tulsa BTW?

[hogfan98]

congrats to jy, but tulsa is not a major d-1 program.

i read somewhere today that green is open and looking heavily at ohio state and penn state.  his coach said he had no clue where broderick was going.

Tomcat,
You have some connections.
Please talk some sense into Nutt
and have him offer Youngblood.
I do not see the logic in why we
would NOT offer the #1 QB in
2008 when we have already offered
his 2 team mates.

Can Vanhorn go ahead and offer
for baseball?

OK I'll bite. #1 QB in 2008? In Camden? Or Arkansas? Or the US?

You guys find every little thing to bitch about don't you? Arkansas can't do a thing right in half of y'alls eyes. Why don't you all go interview to be the recruiting coordinator at Arkansas, they need one since C.Vaughn is now coaching. Then maybe yall can go get all the 4 and 5 star players for us.

[blueshog2001]

That would be a really cool job.  Where could I send my resume?

what are the requirements??  I know they can't be too high since Chris Vaughn and Houston Nutt do it.  I'm sure I can sell better than either of those 2 nincompoops. 

by the way, what in the hell could we possibly need Chris Vaughn to coach??

[tbob]

It doesn't make a lot of sense that Van Horn has offered him but Nutt hasn't. We would be much better off with the limited number of baseball scholarships to have Nutt give him one and then let him play baseball too. That's where his future is. Isn't Carlton Salters (fb scholarship) now playing outfield with the DiamondHawgs?

[tbob]

Malzahn can offer all he wants, the kid will NEVER go to Tulsa. His future is in baseball and he knows it and would you rather play for your home state and the #4 team in the nation or with a team which is at best the 4th best baseball program in the State of Oklahoma.

[Shizzle]

I don't know who has and who hasn't offered this kid. I will bet anybody any amount of money they want to bet that Ole Miss will offer him before it is all said and done. I think they offer every starting senior and junior on every high school team in the US my goodness!! I was looking at the ESPN recruiting and Miss shows up on 90% of the kids

[arklahoman36]

If he's really interested in playing college baseball, he certainly won't go to a school that doesn't have a baseball team (TU).

[Hugehogsfan]

this is absoulutely freakin ridculous, are we actually going to sit by while other teams come in and offer our state's best players before we do.  I mean we have offered his teammates but not him. 

On a side note, have we offered the RB from Texarkana?

[blueshog2001]

Our staff might be trying to close the deal on this years class.  Our at least I hope that is the excuse.

[Space Man]

Jim Youngblood just got an offer from Gus himself.

Looks like Arkansas will be bringing up the rear. 

If Youngblood has a second pitch, he will be offered a ridiculous signing bonus by some MLB team.  Arkansas can only sign one QB, and it will be a toss up if Youngblood chooses to go to college.  I know several people who were set on going to college, until the signing bonus was put on the table.  These people came from various economic backgrounds, and very few left the money on the table. 

[ThisTeetsTaken]

Not saying it would be good reasoning on their part, but I can see them thinking that they don't want him because of Dick and Chaisson coming in this year.  They may not think he is better than either one of them.

[esg]

All you fans suck, I mean arkansas offered Kodi Burns first that helped, Lee Z.  And by the way I have seen youngblood play, hes good but I don't that his that great.  He is not even the best player in the county and neither is either one of his teammates.  And by the way if he goes to Tulsa to play QB he better stick with BB.  Everybody on hear thinks Malzahn will get alot of arkansas talent well you are very mistaken. 

[WILL CLINTON]

He was with the RB from Camden when he received the offer via text message from Nutt.  I have no idea why they didn't offer at the same time.

You don't know this kid.  This kid has big ambitions that go way beyond what he could do in the world of athletics.  It will have to be a life changing amount for him not to go to college. 

Our staff might be trying to close the deal on this years class.  Our at least I hope that is the excuse.

Texas A&M already has 8 commits.  And he is down there this weekend visiting.

Because some kids want more than to be a baseball player, or football player.  Some of these kids don't just want to be athletes the rest of their life.  They have ambitions.  He is one of those kids. 

Not saying it would be good reasoning on their part, but I can see them thinking that they don't want him because of Dick and Chaisson coming in this year.  They may not think he is better than either one of them.

Of the people who have seen all 3, all say that Jim is better than either of these, as a Jr. in high school, than they are at the present time.

Yeah I totally feel ya. It's not our jobs on the line and all we have is online sites to go by. They have to go by what the scouting department gives the coaches to go after. They don't read rivals and scout. I mean think about it, if the people on these site knew all, don't you think they would be making alot more money heading up a scouting department for a major school, or for a professional team. So lay off guys and I am sure the coaches will pick up on him, once the scouting department breaks down all the available film on him, thus far.

Arkansas can only sign 1 qb, and there are plenty in the country.  I only saw him play against PA, so I am not sure how good he is, but I think that Arkansas should evaluate film on several qbs before deciding to offer.  However, if this kid has an arm like Kodi Burns, with accuracy, Arkansas should offer quickly. 

[LR Hog]

Gus will be gone in a year or two.  He has his sights set on being a head coach some where.

[hog37]

Nice QB, but after watching him in last summer's QB1 Challenge, I think it's a good idea to wait and see on him.  He did not stand out.  Hype is a powerful thing!

[mj4president]

Chill out yall. We will offer later. Also, since when has Tulsa been considered a MAJOR D1 school?

[younghog]

Umm Youngblood was offered a while back..

Plus its been up on rivals as well.

If you play two sports, doesn't the scholarship count towards both sports.  If so, does it really matter when it comes to # of scholarships either way it costs both sport a scholarship.

Jim has no offer from Arkansas. 

What he meant to say was, "Tulsa is now a MAJOR D-1 program?" 

Look, I know a lot of people are excited about Gus being there in all, but calling Tulsa a major D-1 program is a little extreme.  Are they D-1?  yes.  Are they a major D-1 school?  No.

I'm assuming you meant a $500,000 signing bonus would be life changing, but not to this kid.  It is going to have to be significantly more than that. 

Nice QB, but after watching him in last summer's QB1 Challenge, I think it's a good idea to wait and see on him.  He did not stand out.  Hype is a powerful thing!

Seeing as he was the youngest QB there, and the only Jr. invited (if this is the right camp I'm thinking it is), I can see how he didn't.  He was a year behind the other QB.

I think that going after the quaterback at Bastrop, La would be a safer bet.  Randal Mackey is the truth, and would be the best choice, but he does like THE U, so this may be an uphill battle.

Actually, just about all schools below the BCS conferences are considered "MID-Majors."  You might consider South Florida and Tulsa and San Jose State major D-1 schools, but you're in the minority, big time.

[oldfart]

you can get a football scholarship and play any other sport without it counting against that sport. However, if you get a scholarship in any other sport including basketball if you also play football it is going to count against football.  Remember Wen Mokubo (sp)? after being shunted out of basketball he wanted to try his hand at football but was not able to because it would have counted against the football scholarships
