Maybe I missed it. Was there anything in the article about us flipping him?

As an Arkansas alum living in Atlanta for decades, I am encouraged that the Hogs are finally making a dent in Georgia's fertile recruiting ground.  It's about time, as most other SEC schools have been taking talent from the state for years.

One of my favorite things about covering college football recruiting is listening to stories from the recruiting trail.

A good one I heard about this year involved T.J. Smith, the defensive end from Colquitt High School. He flipped from Vanderbilt to Arkansas a couple of weeks before last month's signing day.

"I think he was going from our place to Wake. He canceled that. His mom and dad canceled their flights, and he has been a happily-married man ever since."

So instead of paying the players, they are getting them wives. Interesting. That's not a violation is it?

It sounds like TJ has a solid background. Glad he's A Hog and thanks for the post.

Several state lines to cross from Georgia to Arkansas and CBB has stated we are going to work on increasing our recruiting inroads into Ga.

" GO HOGS "

Smith's coach is the former Hoover, AL head coach. He's someone we definitely want to be in good graces with.

Yeah, a word.  But the OP title seemed to indicate that the story would be about how we flipped him.

I'm well aware of that... and don't care.  The guy wins wherever he goes and takes D3 players and turns them into D1 players.

Well, he's certainly "not common".

I'm gonna go ahead and speculate that you made a SOLID 16 on your ACT test...  +1 if you can take a joke. Cause that's a good one right there...
