Coach Bielema spoke highly of Austin's ability and character tonight at the Signing Day on the Hill event.  He was emotional when he shared a special story about how the community of Star City looks after and loves Austin.  I'm glad that Mr. Capps is a Razorback!

Also, everyone in the crowd was amazed by the athleticism and size shown on Austin's highlights!

His mom surrounded him with people that loved Austin and had his best interest.  My immediate family helped with getting him to visits at different schools.  It was always up to him, and he made the best choice for him.  Even my brother in law, a LSU alum with season tickets at Baton Rouge, had on a Hog pullover.  Might be set on fire now, but he did it to support Austin.  The one that should be enjoying this success left this earth way to soon.

This is the way it should be.  Fanaticism (not a word) should be put aside when close to a recruit for just a short while and assist that kid to make the best fitting decision possible.  Anything else becomes a handler which is a slippery slope to awful world we now know as NCAA basketball recruiting.  If and when football hits that point I will be looking for something to occupy a lot of my time, sadly.

Some key people in Star City, Dumas, and McGehee answered the bell long before everyone knew he would blow up into a blue chip football prospect.  They loved him because he was a great kid.  I would name them but they are happy just knowing Austin is achieving his dream.

Young man is gonna represent us well. Welcome to The Hill AC!

Loyalty. Seark boy. Get after it.

Austin is a kid we will all be proud of both on and off the field.  My nephew Jake played all star baseball with him.  I have heard nothing but great things about him for years now.  I am very happy that he joined our team.  He is exactly the kind of uncommon young man we want and one hell of a player.

Looks like a big, strong kid.   a la Dan Hampton.

Best of luck!

I know I'm a homer, but it sure seems like we do get more high character kids now than we used to and I credit CBB for that.  Maybe we have to try harder than more talented SECW teams to win, but I'm fine with that.

Good looking young man !  Glad to see a Delta boy up on the Hill !

Bielema talked to us about that.  In or out of state kid even if they are a 5 star, if they show evidence of being a diva - no go for them.  He respects his players and expects the same from them.  A lot of coaches talk accountability but Coach B demands it.  Be accountable for your actions or you can find another school.

Can he play LB?

According to the staff, he is going to be inside on d-line.  He finished top three in state lifting meet while playing baseball for years and basketball up till last year.  He is going to play baseball due to loving it and wanting to repeat as state champs.  He is going to be unreal when football is it.

Baseball and basketball has helped to lead to being a good all around athlete.

This is huge.  His athleticism is already there, once he gets to start working with coach Herb he is going to go to another level.  Really pulling for Austin.
