hard to hear that notre dame's prestige won out in the end, or rather dad's perception of notre dames academic prestige combined with a lingering negative perception of arkansas as a whole probably won out.

might as well been last.

[Danny J]

watch the video it comes straight out of his mouth

my understand of what he said was, that it was between football powerhouse (arkansas) and staying home close to mom at arizona or academic prestige (notre dame) and staying home near mom at arizona.

i could have misunderstood him

This is not directed at you but we all KNOW he chose notre dame because of academics.

BINGO! that's all i care about. who finished 11 and 2, and 5th in the nation.none of those three did. GO Hogs.

Get the period in before the quote and remove the apostrophe before you spend the cash on the shirts.

Sweet... 2nd for Neal,  Gardner and DGB .

Moral recruiting championship.

I was just thinking about that when I read your post. We're used to finishing 2nd, but it's still strange to know for a fact that we finished 2nd for 3 great players, in a year when we really needed one of them, imo.

one thing I Have learned, is that about....70% recruiting information out there is what i call "best guess" stuff. people who make rational assumptions and take it as truth.

everyone saide neal was betwen zona and nD. evERYONE. it was really arknasas and norte dame

everyone thought we moved on from tawain johnson becuase his name wasn't coming up but he was very much in the mix.

everyone in decmeber assumed mizzou was an after thought for DGB

everyone assumed Michigan and arknasas for Jordan diamond, when he really liked auburn

Recruiting as a spectator sport is pretty dumb. I take it with a grain of salt, hoping to get a glimpse of what our class will look like, but I don't place much stock in anything I read, hear or see. Besides that we're all hanging on the word of a high school kid at one moment in time, there's way too much speculation, as you duly noted.

Having said that, it sounds to me like Neal's first choice was Arizona, but his dad talked him into moving away for college, leaving Notre Dame, Arkansas and UNC. Sounds like he wanted Arkansas, but his dad wanted Notre Dame. Seems like a great guy and I'm sorry we missed on him.

Yes i watched it and i know what he said. don't believe everything you hear, even if it comes from the player. remember when the Juco DE claimed he picked a school over Arkansas and thew the Hog hat in the trash? and said that's what CBP did to Willy?  we had not recruited the guy since Willy left. yet he claims he pick another school over us. he lied.

watching the elderly slip into dementia and the grip of alzheimers really is sad.

[ElPasoHog]

fcj....you're kidding, right....the words come out of the kids mouth and you say that he is lying....

What would have to happen for you to believe that Arkansas was his second choice....??

It's just words....sort of like when FCJ said that Pel was the next great coach at Arkansas and how much he loved him.

[iseeredpeople]

I've already picked up 10 smites since posting.

+1


And -1.

[Ball Hawk]

It makes you wonder if that original signed and sealed LOI was to Arkansas and his father refused to sign his portion.  I am not sure of the rules involved but read somewhere yesterday on EPSN during this whole fiasco that if you're under 21 you have to have a legal guardian co-sign LOI's.  Is this true?

Yes your parents have to sign the LOI's before they can be faxed in to the school you are signing with

In the words of Dale Earnhart, second place is just first loser.

And aditted i was wrong the same year, and said we should have fired him after 2 and 15. i see you forgot to add that. i will admit when im wrong. unlike you star Gazers.

There is only one place in recruiting and that is first place, everything else is last place.
