Three Aggie commits who did not sign and hold Arkansas offers

[billmontgomery10]

It will be interesting to see how things play out with LBs Brian Johnson and DeShaun White who are on the Hawgs radar big-time and were recruited by John Chavis and also Deneric Prince RB. Johnson and Prince both played at the same high school and all 3 are Texas natives.

[Pudgepork]

You can forget them.  We've already learned on hogville that  chavis  can't recruit, won't recruit, is over the hill, a hasbeen, ancient, low energy geriatric that will have to be woken from naps for team meetings. 

I wouldn't hold out much hope for those players

[Pig in the Pokey]

It's ALL about Deshaun White. That kid is a beast , man. Look at his HUDL. And there's not a bigger position of need on this team than OLB. This dude will start for us.

Ill tell you like I told them. Chavis is a Hall of Famer and has more 4 and 5 * commits than any coach in Arkansas history. So miss me with that bs.

[Pig in the Pokey]

yep. And the staff he eventually committed to is our defensive staff. Woo Pig.

I don't think Morris would consider Chavis if he couldn't recruit. I believe those days are done at Arkansas

I liked the idea of chavis, then I switched to Grinch as my lead choice.  But heard he is going to tOSU. So, now rumors are strong that it is Chavis now.  Which, if ya go by his body of work in it's entirety, then ok.  At aTm, seemed like not so good.  But how much of that was the team.. he was only there what 2yrs? Then he's out cuz sumlin is gone.  So I thi k too much is being said about Chavis being burn out.   

Does anyone know what became of the twin brothers. One who was committed to aTm and the other Nebraska?  Seems like some thought he had a chance to get both those guys?

Anyways.  If Chavis is the man, I'll give him a chance. Some say he's not a good recruiter anymore.  I don't know how true that is.  But, I guess we'll find out.  Chavis may not be the walk off HR everyone wanted but he is still a HR hire, albeit an inside the park or one that hits the top of the fence and barely falls over for the HR haha.. It still counts as a HR tho.

Joshua Moore? Jordan/Joshua, I get their names mixed up, but the one who was committed to A&M signed with them Weds. and the one who recently de-committed from Nebraska is still unsigned.

[razorbackfanatic]

If the Chavis rumors are true and he was able to flip these 3 commits from aTm to us, that would make a huge splash and silence all the disgruntled complaints about the DC hire.

Does anyone know why 24/7 says White is a hard commit to aTm, but 94% chance to OU?

[Tortfeasor]

Hell, make Manvel WR Jalen Preston an offer and see if we can get a visit. That dude is a stud.

Don't sell the Jones kid short. As in too short to play the position. His grandfather grew 3 inches or more from his HS days in LR to the time he played his first down for the Hogs. And I absolutely love the way the kid has the quickness to get out of a tight spot in the pocket all the while looking down field for an open receiver. I must admit, I thought he was getting a scholly because of Papaw, but the kid can flat out play and is a stoned cold winner. I'll take him any day. The 4th and 15 that Highland converted was a thing of beauty. Jones bought time in the pocket, made a move or two while allowing a slow developing route to open up 25 yards down the field and JSJ absolutely dropped a dime in on the kid at the 12 yard line which was the game winner, IMHO. I don't know how many of you guys got to watch the game between Highland Park and Manvel, but Manvel had talent all over the field and if not for the brilliance of JSJ, Highland gets beaten by 30 or more.

No doubt... LOL.! I love how absolutely hyperbolic this place can get when a dumbass has a point to make. Present company excluded of course...

WHEN WILL ARKANSAS LEARN THAT YOU CANNOT GO WRONG WITH A JONES.!?

...And that's just the 3 that my drunk butt can uhmember... Hell! If I were coach you would see every kid in Arkansas named Jones get a scholly until they proved they couldn't excell. I'm being hyperbolic now...

Luke Ford was a hard commit to us and was projected to go to Alabama for a long time. Got it wrong on both accounts.

White was expected to commit to OU prior to surprising and committing to A&M.

So the 94% chance was done months ago

I'm almost counting on JSJ coming to the hill. I watched the entire game and the kid has "it". He's simply a playmaker and has grit. I definitely want him to be a Hog.

That WR Preston made a one-handed catch for a TD that was impressive. He is a special player and is committed to AM but hasn't signed yet. Not sure if Morris could talk to that kid last night after the game, but if so, an offer should have been made.

Side note, pretty cool to see JJ go over and talk to the Manvel players after the game and talk to several individually. Kudos to him.

[TheRazorback500]

well, pay attention, we've been talking about it all week.

I understand what you're saying, but pen hasn't hit paper yet. I'd like to have him; he knows what he's doing (unlike some of the previous staff), but I'm not counting chickens.

[Oklahawg]

Brian Johnson plays for Manvel. Decent safety but would be a fine OLB. (Watched him vs JSJ last night)

Remember him from "back in the day". I was a young teen around the time he hit the scene. He graced the cover of Sports Illustrated under his moniker "Hurrying Harry Jones". Guy had some major speed and a nose for the end zone. Played both wingback and defensive back and returned several interceptions for touchdowns. In fact if I remember correctly it was his play at db that earned him more touches on the other side of the ball.

Oh yes, I remember him. Seemed like some called him...."Light hoss Harry Jones". He was big & fast.

I remember.  He had 3 interceptions for touchdowns one year, then switched to offense.

[Muskliketusk]

I'd about bet we get White. He ain't got no ties to Jimbo and he done already committed to Chavis once. Brown ain't signed with Bama neither so he still gonna be a fight.

[Vantage 8 dude]

Oh yes, I remember him. Seemed like some called him...."Light hoss Harry Jones". He was big & fast.

You're absolutely correct on that as well. Yep, I thought about that nickname after I posted my other comment. He did seem to have the size and speed not often seen in many players back then.

[Snout team]

Do any of these guys have official visits left?  If so and we see them show up on the visitors list for January I will get very excit d about the possibility.  If not, I won't hold my breath

+1 for all the Harry Jones references.  He even had a song written about him that was played on radio stations all over Arkansas.  I remember the Friendly Southern Giant, Little Rock's KAAY would blast that song out and people would hear it from New Orleans to almost Canada.

Here is a nice highlight clip, plus you'll get to hear The Ballad of Light Horse Harry.

Glad his play was far better than the song written about him. I realize it was locally done, however, I have to say it was pretty "cheesy". In a simpler day so many of those Hogs were local heroes-Harry, Ken Hatfield, Lloyd Phillips, Jerry Lamb-and so many more....yep, they were the idols of practically every school boy in the state.
