[ricepig]

I'll take two!

[mhuff]

I'll take two!

[opineonswine]

I'll take two!

[bulldog04]

That's Albert Haynesworth type build

[PorkRinds]

Possibly a TJ Smith connection? Wasn't he from NC originally?

[ArmyOfnobunaga]

I'll take two!

Two would kill the tires on the taxi from the airport. Would need a tractor to pick up two of these beasts.

[downsouthhawg72]

I'm just glad we're finally getting players like that & that big then leaving them at DT & not putting them on the O-line.

From a North Raleigh News article:

"Lawrence was born in Maryland but reared in Arkansas. Parker [his mother] ran 400 meters at the University of Arkansas-Pinebluff, and Lawrence's father, Dexter Lawrence, was a linebacker at Arkansas State."

It's about time that we get some kids who were born here, moved away, and want to come back instead of kids who moved here and don't want to stay. You guys will take two, I am not greedy. I'd be happy with just one! This one

[jackflash]

Lets take these four and call it a day.
1 Lawrence
2 Capps
3 Bledsoe
4 Agim

Would be awesome

[Hogeration]

It says warmer for the Gators.  Does someone know something they don't?

[ADavisTheGOAT]

If our staff can get it down to Arkansas vs Florida, I'm confident.

Did anybody find it strange that North Carolina was not on Lawrence list?

Yep, it's 2016...

That was before D.J. Durkin left. Bet we get him now.

[HogsOfAnarchy]

His mom worked in Fayetteville  so there's definitely some ties to arkansas for him and his family

  That's Fayetteville, North Carolina not Arkansas, however, both mom and dad went to school in Arkansas. Dad played lb at Arkansas State and mom ran the 400 meters at UAPB.

Ah my mistake. You r correct

[AugustaHog]

Wow this would be a huge get!  Clemson and FSU being in the mix is never good, those guys are closers.  We've beaten FSU before, but not for a DL that I can remember.  I hope we pull this one off.  Dexter is a beast.

Would probably be the best dline class in arkansas history

UNC offered and is listed as low.   I found it funnier Wake didn't even try and extend an offer.  Obviously the kid doesn't appear to be tied down to the area.

Wake Forest University is in Winston-Salem, NC.  Wake Forest, NC is a town just north of Raleigh, NC.  They are about 100 miles apart.

one would have to assume it would be the best dline class in '16

I think Bledsoe will be hard to get out of Kansas.

[whosiskid]

I'll take two!

He already is two!

[rwspear]

no way he stays in Kansas.

[#1 STUNNA]

I mean it won't he is that gets him out of Kansas... Looking like oklahoma right now is the heavy favorite from what I read and heard. He plays football in the same conference as my lil brother... The conference is usually pretty stacked with D1 talent especially on the lines.

I mean...my God, why would this kid want to come to Arkansas?? There must be some explanation for this craziness!!

Our top 10 defense this year might have something to do with it

[BigPapaHawg]

Would be real nice if we could get this kid!

Call it a Bielema Quad

No

[ChicoHog]

UF has had wholesale staff changes.  I'm thinking the "warmer" to UF was probably when Muschamp was there?  Hope this kid doesn't start thinking about Auburn.

Yeah, pretty weird that they didn't even at least offer. What's the harm of throwing their name out there at the very least? They're a major school close to home, they should have had the confidence to make an offer.

[rolyat_2008]

Florida is/was his favorite team growing up

Expand the list and read down, they did, but apparently he doesn't have much interest.

[NC_Hog_Fan]

I've watched this kid play for two years and he's a BEAST!! Would be a great pickup for the Hogs!!
