Well I am going to say that it isn't going to have a positive effect.

I think it will help. Look at the team the incoming freshman have to be thinking "I will get some playing time" At least I HOPE!!!!

Depends on who the next coach is.  If we have one in place before the second week in January when most schools host 15-20 recruits at a time then we should be fine considering the majority of our class is Arkansas bred.  I think the Kentucky verbal committ that was 50/50 probably just saw his homestate school beat the #1 team in the nation and score 43pts and Arkansas score 7.

I hope a decision to find another coach will be done quickly to avoid losing a large portion of the class.  I have no confidence in Arkansas winning over 2 conference games, which should get the coach fired with a 10 win season sandwiched between two losing seasons.  The coaches have to take blame for the weak recruiting that has been done with this year being the only exception.

Since HDN and his staff decided not to bring anybody in for official visits this weekend, I'd say the coaching staff hurt recruiting more than the loss to Auburn.

The saving grace is that so many of the recruits are from Arkansas this year. 

What I am dearly hoping is that whatever moves are made regarding coaching staffs are made quickly enough to allow a new staff time to cement the current recruiting class and add to it.
Go Hogs!

It more than likley helped recruiting not letting them witness the Auburn game in person.

it definitely can't help, especially with the top tier guys that we're after.  plus, it definitely can't help that there's probably (hopefully) going to be a coaching change at the end of the season.
