[D-Maczone]

Is he a Hog?   A simple yes or no please.

You know that is asking way too much.......

[Sportsguy120]

HERE WE GO

[Choctaw Hog]

Last I checked Houston didnt recruit Matt Jones to play WR he played QB here. So how would he count. Houston had nothing to do with him playing WR in the NFL. No way you can give NUTT credit for that!!

Matt Jones, Initially Committed to Oklahoma...as they said he would play WR, but would give him a shot at QB.

Nutt hired David Lee an Option Guy, and used the fact that he was going to have more option in his game play, and agreed to let Jones play QB....which convinced MJ to change his commitment.

Lest we forget...this was the wonderful year, Lee and Nutt put 4 different QB's in the UNLV (1st game) game and the whole time MJ was over on the sidelines humming a little tune to himself playing pocket pool until about midseason.

Jone NEVER committed to Oklahoma. Wow.

I believe he did.  If my memory serves me correctly, Joe Ferguson was the QB coach at the time Matt committed to OU.  The "story" making the rounds was that Joe told Matt and his dad that Matt would never make it as an NLF QB and that he should probably work on being a WR.  Matt committed to OU and about a week later, Joe "retires" from the U of A staff.  Shortly thereafter, Matt changes his "commitment" from OU to Arkansas and the rest is history.

That is not how I remember it, but I could be wrong.

I don't claim to have a great memory and I had no inside sources on this situation, but I think Chuck Barrett, Dudley, or Clay discussed this in detail on the radio once.  I think the crux of the situation was that Matt wanted to play QB and Joe made Matt and/or his dad mad by telling them that Matt wasn't going to make an NFL QB.  Joe did play in the NFL for several years so he should know something about what it takes to be an NFL QB but I suppose Matt and his dad had a different opinion. 

Nonetheless, I distinctly remember Matt committing to OU because I'm from Oklahoma and some Sooner fans were giving me crap over it.  Of that I am certain but the reason(s) why he did were only rumor and speculation.  However, I tend to believe that there was something to the Ferguson comments because within a week or two of Joe "retiring", Matt switched his commitment. 

I suppose at this point it really doesn't matter. He was a Hog and a great one at that!

Indeed.

I hope you guys give Nutt props when Cruz becomes a Hog.  However, you'll just say that he always wanted to come to AR, kinda like LSU never "offered" the kids they didn't get...

Props for what?  The kid is making a mistake for what is best for him as a wr.  If its what he wants as far as where he will be happy in going to school and wants to be a Hog despite Nuttball then great for him.  With a 3.0, he should be smart enough to know the sacrifice he is making. 

A Razorback Fan? or Not a Razorback Fan? You guys decide......

[HOG FAN 4 LIFE]

I wonder if he getting on the Gus Bus where they throw the ball?

Hopefully he's smarter than that....and I think he is.

Why is that smarter?  If I was a WR I would like to go to an offense like that.  I LOVE the Razorbacks so I would probably choose the Razorbacks no matter who the coach was.

Because it's Tulsa....enough said.

How many Wide Receivers has Arkansas sent to the Pros in the last decade or so? 
And no, Matt Jones does not count.

Anthony Lucas played with the cowboys a couple of years until his injuries wouldnt let him anymore.

I'm pretty sure this kid understands his position a lot better than some jaded outsider on a message board.  He does have a 3.0, afterall.  Go back to your hole.

Great no wide recievers should come here b/c of idiots like this guy and then he moans and groans we run the ball too much

Not mine to decide, I guess we express it in different ways.  For me, I cannot imagine the day when I would discourage a quality athlete from being a hog.  Until my dying day I will always want the best for the hogs, no matter who is the coach.

I've seen Monk projected in the 1st round in next years draft. You are making a mistake by pretending to be a Razorback fan. I'm sure you got that big Tulsa flag flying from the garage.

BTW, girls like that don't go to Tulsa...

Yeah, this "we never put receivers in the draft" argument will pretty much be defeated in the coming drafts.

I hope Monk is.  He will have to get much faster.  As of now, its not going to happen unless things change.

I'm a PA alum and know Cruz personally. You could fire Nutt now,hire John White as the head coach, and he would still be a Razorback. He was born a Razorback. If anyone had anything to do with his recruitment to Arkansas, it was Marcus Monk.

[TMc]

He's a Hog!

You are comparing Monk to Michael Irvin?

The point is you don't have to run a 4.4 to be a great NFL receiver.  I didn't say MM = MI.  Geesh.

[TheHogFan]

Cruz a HOG!!!!! Something positive for a change! (even though I am sure some will find a way to spin it negative). This is great news for the PROGRAM, no matter who the stinkin coach is. Great pick up fellas, lets keep it rolling.

WPS!!!

CRUZ TO THE HOGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great news!  Welcome CRUZ!

[razorbass]

Gus is the past. He is no longer a hog coach. Cruz is committing to us and we should be happy that he is choosing to be a hog. If he were to go out of state this entire board would be complaining about how Nutt never recruited him and never plans on having passing game. Now that he has recruited him and he committs people are complaining saying why in the world would he come here..he should go somewhere else. Cut all the crap and be happy Cruz is choosing to be a hog. He is a big time player.

and yes I'm back

You took the words right out of my mouth :razorback: :razorback:

Obviously not his point.  He's saying you don't neccessarily have to run a 4.4 to be a big time nfl receiver.  Especially when your 6-5 or 6-6 or whatever he is.

GREAT NEWS....WPS :razorback: :razorback: :razorback:

CANT SOME OF YOU JUST BE HAPPY ABOUT A GOOD RECRUIT PLAYING FOR THE SCHOOL YOU LOVE?  NOT THE DAMN COACH, BUT THE UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS FOOTBALL TEAM!!  GOOD GOSH PEOPLE!!

Welcome Cruz, and I look forward to watching you hopefully develope into a star wide out at the U of A.

Go Hogs!!

[hOUSTon NUTT]

That's great because I sure hope the 2008 coach that replaces Nutt will throw the ball to him.

Man, you're going to Hate 2009...

[SooiecidetillNuttgone]

You guys are expecting him to stay a WR.  This is FrankenNutt we're talking about.  I predict DT by his Junior year, after having been moved to at least two other locations before then.

If thats the case, maybe he can be the next Jamal Andersen.  That wouldn't be bad, right?

You complain about everything....

I would bet if Jessica Simpson walked in your room naked you would complain b/c she didnt have her hair fixed right.  Just be happy she walked into your room!

Cruz just "walked" into our team, but you have already started being negitive.
