Joe Adams Announcement

[HUNGLOWHOG]

WERE IS RICHARD??? WE NEED YOU NOW ANY INFO

[ListenHereMister]

I think he will be a HOG.
Cruz Williams
DJ Williams
Mom will be close by.
Horton and Lee good recruiting.


Just my .02

[DCimport]

The school he feels that fits him will be more important than friends (our lack of effective passing game
Mom can move
I'm sure those on other coaching staff are as good as Lee Horton

[Hogginitall]

He will be a HOG mark my word.

Marked.

[Wu Tang Clan]

He will be a HOG mark my word.

I'm not buying it.

Maybe he saw Saturday (at least on tape) that Nathan Dick can actually pass the ball accurately, and that UA might just have a passing game in coming seasons. I'm just saying maybe: All those other schools in his list have proven passers.

[DCimport]

He sounds like the recruit that we will not really know until feb.  Hopefully the stars and plants will align in the right pattern and we may finally have a balanced offence to show him he can come here and do more than special teams, block, and be in a two wide out set that never enters the middle of the field

[J.A.Y.]

Nate Olson just said on The ZONE @103.7 he was headed to USC

[kibster]

who is Nate Olson?

[ksrazorback]

Well when Coaches announce there intentions to coach for certain University, they announce at that school, so my thoughts are Joe will be playing for the Razorback!!

No links or proof, just a hunch... this was written back on Aug 15 but is a good read.

If he commits and still visits other schools it don't sound like he is commited. I think we find out in Feb.

[J.A.Y.]

Nate Olson from Hootens.

[arkyman]

He is not going to USC.

[Hawgasaurus]

Spoiler Alert!!!!

I heard from my sources he is leaning towrds Hendrix to focus on his studies!!!

[J.A.Y.]

I hope he doesn't go to USC, I'm just relaying what was said on their show.

[arkyman]

My source is pretty darn good and it looks like he may be headed to the Peachtree state.

IT'S NOT WET!!!  Damn another shocker.  I am not sure how much my heart can take.

Around the SEC we are starting to be known as the cherry tree state.  Why?   The top SEC schools can just waltz in and cherry pick the state's most prized recruits.   The past 3 seasons anyway.

[Hogway]

In this thread alone we have 4 predictions.  USC, UGA, Florida, and UA.  This kid is so talented he has us as off balance as opposing defenders.

Take a look at the Top 10 players in the state this year and tell me if that's still true.  Looks like someone "built a fence" around that cherry orchard.

A fence?  Not yet.  This year the hole is just smaller.  Nutt needs to keep the top instate talent for more than one year to say he built a fence.  We need a steel fence, not a straw fence.

For the last 5 years (that is as far as I went back) Arkansas has kept a higher percentage of the top 10 players in-state than any other SEC school except LSU.  I get tired of hearing this stuff when it is not true.

I guess, I haven't researched it, but the other schools LSU, Alabama, Aubrun get great out of state talent.  They get more blue chip out of state kids than we do.  All in all we need to consistently recruit better instate and out of state.

[ntubjr]

How do you keep somrone in state who goes to neither camp and did not return the coaches texts I do not lnow where he is going but I do not think it is UA I know UA is not expecting him to commit

[Hogway]

The more I think about it I find this whole situation puzzling.  I realize Joe wants to catch or touch the ball whichever you prefer.  I am on the fence with the coaching staff but I just don't understand how we can miss on this kid.  A good majority of the LR players play early which would be a plus.  DJ and Cruz have to be helping us.  He is also friends with DMAC I believe.  Maybe I am putting too much stock into his friendships.  We have two of the top 10 dual threat QB's in the country coming in to go along with Nathan who seems to be getting acclimated pretty early.  Judging by his role at CAC he can probably step in and fill Felix's position in the Wildhog when he moves on considering we find someone to take DMAC's role and continue to use the formation.  We can use him at corner as well as on offense if our coaches would allow it.  I really feel we have alot to offer Joe.  Is it Nutt?  Does anyone know the real reason Joe portrays that he is put off by us.  I know most on here don't care for Nutt and in quite a few situations I don't either but Nutt has shown that he will get the ball to those who deserve to get it.  He hasn't announced yet nor is it close to signing day but I would think this one would have been easier to get than others we already have even though we may still get him before signing day.  But who knows... Thoughts?

[cardinalhawg]

Perhaps Adams realizes that he better commit to Georgia, Florida, or USC now, or he will not have a chance to later, as scholarships feel up, and maybe the pressure is being put on him.  Then if keeps taking those visits, he is still considering other possibilities and perhaps realizes that the Hogs will take him with open arms, whenever he commits, should he decide to change his commitment later.

It does seem like there are a number of people who know things who is flat out saying he is going to one school, but then another person says another thing.

[slopinhogs]

i don't blame the kids for this i blame the tv stations , who can be the first wit ANY news? Fox can :razorback:

Why do you blame the tv stations?  They probably think he is going to pick Arkansas.  They don't have a clue.

Believe it or not, not every kid wants to go to Arkansas regardless of how hard they recruit them.  I hate it when Arkansas misses on kids like Tyrell Johnson(ASU) and many others who wanted to be Razorbacks.  Offer The SHOW and Rodney Brown.

Jarius Wright, Cruz Williams, DeAnthony Curtis and Greg Childs did not seem concerned what happened to the recruits from 2006. 

[Hogway]

I believe it Clan.  I get USC but I don't get it if he picks them.  From what we hear and read he seems to be more interested in O.  If what we read is true and Carroll wants him for D and he likes how Florida uses Percy, and UGA (can you name a big time receiver they have produced) or any reciever they have used in a role similar to what Joe is used to at CAC?  Then you look at what Arkansas has to offer and it is a weird situation.  3-4 totally different situations it seems at each school.  It is almost like he is deciding on how he wants to play more than where.  Could it be that Carroll convinced him that his best chance to be a high round pick in the league is at corner?  If he chooses SC that is what I would think the reasoning is.  Plus he will have a nice shot at a couple of rings.

[sarcasm]Yes, because all recruits think the same way.[/sarcasm]

Some of them had no better options, other wanted to be Hogs regardless of the coach, some wanted to go with their friends, some wanted to play in front of family and the home state.

You think many recruits are coming because of Houston Nutt and all that he brings to the table?

[riccoar]

I think knowing HDN will never pass the ball will be all Joe needs to know.

First off Kilgor, I could care less about Houston Nutt.  Every player I named had other options and could have went to a big time program.  Every recruit that does not decide to go to Arkansas is certainly not worried about what happened to players in the 2006 class.  I am not a Nutt fan because of his playcalling and recruiting efforts over the years, but what you are talking about is ridiculous.  Not everyone is soft and runs at the first sign of adversity.  I wish you would leave the feminine gossip and crying over at Monday night quaterback or whatever it is called.

You said some of them have no better options.  Know what you are talking about first before making stupid statements.  Some people just have no clue what they are talking about.  You were not talking about players not wanting to come to Arkansas because of two players being offended when Arkansas was getting a commitment every day.  I was not using sarcasm but stating a fact.  You are just making hypocritical statements with very little validity. 

[Kilgor]

Now I remember why you were on ignore.  Back you go.

[Hogstocking]

Per UGAsports this morning, Adams final 5 are Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, USC and Texas A&M

Texas A&M??  Very surprised to see them in the final 5 and not LSU.  IMO Adams is UGA bound, but if I were a fan of whoever he commits to,  I wouldnt feel warm and fuzzy about his verbal.  He's still planning on taking official visits and he has seemed very indecisive throughout the entire recruiting process   It wouldn't surprise me at all to see him decommit and verbal to someone else before February.  I could totally see him a Trojan or Gator before its all said and done (assuming he commits to UGA 2nite). 

[Hogway]

I agree.  The way things are going I can see him playing for anyone right now.  The only team that has pressure to sign him is Arkansas anyway.  The teams we are competing against won't blink if he chooses another school.  SC will just say "next".  Georgia already has 2 rated ahead of him.  Florida well they are short on athletes (haha).  A&M is very surprising.  This won't be over until Feb. you are right about that.  I think I'm wanting to make Joe a Charles Woodson at Michigan clone but with more emphasis on O than D.  That was my hope at least.
