Thanks RD

[secneahog]

There's the Reed guy...

[hawg1221]

RD, do you know anything about this Tyrell Reed guy?

[scooby21322]

Interesting that Hill is not included among those who are still in the mix....

[Großer Kriegschwein]

I have an idea that we will leave one scholly open for Dominique Reed in case he qualifies, but according to the rumor mill, he may very well come down to the wire for qualification. He puts in the work, I'm sure he will get it taken care of.

[Hawgzinbowlz]

Kendrick Jackson no longer counts himself as an Arizona commitment.
It's good that he is not committed elsewhere, and glad we got the last visit.
We could use a true MLB as the added depth would help over the course of our season.

I like the way this recruiting season is shaping up. Some great 'I want to be a Hog' talent headed here to 'The Hill'.

Thats a possibility, our coaches may want him, but may not want to risk the scholarship, we might tell him he'll have a scholarship if he can qualify, but not allow him to sign till then.  However, that is a big risk for him, if he can't qualify for Arkansas will he still have a spot elsewhere?  I guess we'll know something Wednesday.

[ricepig]

Hey RD, is that number good for all of us to call?

[IBleedRazorbackRed]

Rd, will reed sign somewhere Wednesday or wait until the summer to see what the grades are like now?

[Music City Hog]

RD updated and said Reed will make his choice on Tuesday

[jgphillips3]

I guess with KJ all but officially off the board we can roll the dice on Reed qualifying.  If he makes it, he has the speed to be a game changer.  Then when we get Jordan Jones in next year, the 8 and 9 man box we face will be obliterated if we could put those two speed burners on the outside.  You just couldn't over commit to the run with threats like that.  Then, we become deadly.

Guess since we are one of the schools he is choosing from then it means we are going to take the risk

He said weathersby is leaning towards lswho. ..

Posted a couple more bits

jeff grimes doesn't lose many- been saying it for a while

Neither does Pittman

[Wildhog]

Wow, Weathersby would be an awful miss if he signs elsewhere.  Especially since we haven't brought any backup plans in.

Maybe they don't want a OT if we miss on Toby. That's one position we can be very picky on.

[Wildhog]

Uh, we NEED another OT.

We have got to get some more recruiters on staff.  Pittman can't get everyone he goes after...

Not really for depth, it isn't.

[hawginbigd1]

RD why you gotta go and ruin my Sunday? Dang I thought we had weathersby. I think BB did too!

[Wildhog]

We can't afford to close with a whimper.  Still a great class, regardless, but we have more needs.

[red_beard_82]

Hope we didn't miss on King because of slow playing him and then miss on everyone else too. Still a good class, just sounds like it isn't closing with the bang it could have.

[secneahog]

Uh, we NEED another OT.

We have got to get some more recruiters on staff.  Pittman can't get everyone he goes after...

Merrick and Cotton could both play tackle..

So it's coming down to the wire and we hear this about Toby and you immediately say we need to hire more staff!

Geez dude. Why live and die over one recruit? ...

Immediately?  I've been saying it for years.

And clearly CBB and staff believe we need another OT or we wouldn't have such a high priority placed on TW. 

[hawg1221]

Maybe that's why this Tyrell Reed perhaps made an official visit??  Makes you wonder...

[Arkansasno1]

There was this.

[attachment deleted by admin]

[WooPig90]

Well then just when i was feeling really good about this class 

[secneahog]

Maybe because he's a elite talent?..lswho needs tackles bad..they have 6 or 7 offers on the table.

We have 1 with Toby. ..you think BB and Pittman would have no back up plan if we NEEDED a tackle so badly?...Cmon man...

[secneahog]

Maybe that's why this Tyrell Reed perhaps made an official visit??  Makes you wonder...

Post a link showing he's visiting.  Thanks.

[hawg1221]

There was this.

It's confusing.  That seems very promising on Thursday and now on Sunday RD is having doubts.   

[Hogfan46]

Who has confirmed that he actually visited?

[ricepig]

Who has confirmed that he actually visited?

Henderson St??

I think they thought we had him.  And we still may get him.

It's just a sore reminder of how great the competition is.  I mean, Weathersby was considered an Arkansas lean almost immediately after decommitting from Texas. 

[secneahog]

It's going to be a dog fight come NSD for Toby.

I have faith in Bielema and Pittman regardless.

[hawg1221]

Key word is perhaps.  I don't really know, but look at the thread started this morning "Tyrell Reed".

[Wildhog]

And I agree with you.

Yeah cause he was fresh off a visit with us. He's visited lswho last. That happens.. doesn't mean he won't pick up a Hogs hat or we need to hire more staff. This oline class we have is awesome.

Umm, they visited last, to my knowledge on Wednesday/Thursday?

[Music City Hog]

Dead period starts tonight.  Phone calls still allowed I believe.

[secneahog]

Yeah I saw it. Saw he twitted he's headed to Arkansas.  One thing I haven't seen is Danny West..Otis..Davenport mention his name 1 time. So ya I don't think he comes to Fayetteville. 

[secneahog]

Im saying Official visit. I could be wrong but I believe he visited lswho last..I'm not counting Houston visit.

[hawg1221]

Yeah I saw it. Saw he twitted he's headed to Arkansas.  One thing I haven't seen is Danny West..Otis..Davenport mention his name 1 time. So ya I don't think he comes to Fayetteville.

It just makes me wonder why he would visit anywhere else with all the offers he does have.

[Wildhog]

It's been discussed on other boards.  He's visiting a smaller in-state school, and I'm also pretty sure the Henderson info is accurate.

It's not the U of A.

[ricepig]

Correct on the official, but I think our coaches had the last n-house. Oh well, it's a good class, but hemorrhaging a little at the end. And yes I know, Weathersby wasn't ever committed to us. I guess we'll have a reason to pay attention Wednesday.

[secneahog]

It just makes me wonder why he would visit anywhere else with all the offers he does have.

Maybe he was offered by them at one time and now they've pulled the offer. Recruiting is crazy. But if he was visiting those 3 guys would have said it by now. You can take that to the bank.

Ok. Did not know that.

I believe Wallace was the same way. Heard Bama was getting him. Army game he picked up the Hog hat. I like our chances. This staff will make it happen.

I've seen rumors he may commit to LSU today.
