De'Anthony Curtis Tidbit

[Tomhog™]

I was reading the article for other reasons when I found this gem.  Sounds good for Arkansas as I have felt he would remain a Hog.

The 5-9, 204-pound speedy tailback from Fairview High School in Camden, Ark., is willing to wait on new Razorbacks coach Bobby Petrino before he makes a decision. Curtis said he'll meet with Petrino this month during an official visit.

"That's when we'll sit down and have a real conversation," Curtis said.

That patience may speak volumes as to where Curtis' heart lies — and the fact that he was wearing an Arkansas training shirt Thursday.

dont be

[COCHISE]

It should speak VERY well for us that he likes the spread offense run by Okie St. and the I-formation run by UT, since Petrino's offense runs both almost equally.  It's the best of both worlds for DC.

[lovemesomedale]

I know DeAnthony personally and he will be a hog. Havent spoken to him since he has been in Orlando but spoke with him a few days before christmas.

I agree on the Hog part.  Rest easy fellas.

[Tomhog™]

There is nothing the other schools can offer in regards to playing time that Arkansas can't offer.  I'd be utterly shocked if he switched.

[jackflash]

I think he will be a hog. One thing about Nutt he will work a RB, this is what he does. Every RB wants to carry the ball. Nutt telling him look what I done for 5. Of course the kid is going to take a look. I believe BP will win out over the Nutter

[Doggtown31LCC]

he should get plenty of carries here at Ark, even if felix stays, maybe not 20-25 but maybe 10 or so, what's ole miss' RB situation, i think green-ellis is a SR.

[hog_fan]

Nutt is promising around 3 or 4 rb the same thing. They have a 4 star RB committed. I'm wondering if Nutt didn't contact him either? nutt is a loser. he can't even contact kids and they tell them he doesn't want them. He just doens't call them so they decommitt and then he probably has his goons bash them for leaving him. Dumbnutts will likely oversign since he thinks he is going to come in and get the Arkansas class.

[Aquilos]

Someone said something about Curtis not wanting to come because they didn't want to let him wear #5.... that's bull. He's wearing #23 in the UA game right now. I think he'll come to Arkansas still, just having fun with all these official visits.

[Shizzle]

I think when he and BP sit down and DC realizes how many open field touches he will get a game he will be a Hog. I think this offense will fit him perfectly.

All Petrino needs to do is show DC the video of the Cotton Bowl and the way Temple ran in Mizzou's offense.

[Throwback1]

D to Ark is a long way from a done deal.  Not saying it won't happen, but way too early to count on right now.

[alltimeqb]

He likes the way OSU spreads the ball and likes the way TN runs the I.

Well Petrino does both.  I don't think we have anything to worry about.

[opineonswine]

I hope he has read this:

[lovemesomedale]

Actually yes he doesn want to wear #5 and he was told by the previous staff he could. Im sure BP would let him as well but he does want to wear that number.

[Carl Lazlo]

let him have #5!  Dmac's number should NOT be retired.  If the UA does retire his number, then that's just plain stupid.

[Bryan (CHF)]

One of Petrino's first visits was to Camden to visit with the 3 here.

[Wu Tang Clan]

let him have #5!  Dmac's number should NOT be retired.  If the UA does retire his number, then that's just plain stupid.

They do need to retire his jersey llike Kentucky does in basketball.  The number is honored but players can still wear that number .  It is stupid to say another player can never wear a particular number.

We need this young man toting the Rock!

[The Realist]

The latest Rivals article doesn't give me alot of confidence.

[COCHISE]

The latest Rivals article doesn't give me alot of confidence.

Are you referring to the article on Devin Thomas, I didn't see anything about DeAnthony.

[Bacon The Saddle Again]

And I hope Mallett read the section of that SI article that read:

If a defense can keep the Cardinals' tailbacks from breaking off big runs and force them into second or third-and-long situations, it'll be better able to effectively blitz the quarterback, who is usually so well-coached that, if given too much time, will find the open receiver more often than not (LeFors completed nearly 74 percent of his passes last season).

[RazorWeevil]

I've got an inside scoop on Curtis that tells me he's looking hard at both Oklahoma St. & AR. 

I'm confident he'll be a Hog. 

[Throwback1]

It didn't me either...wonder if Felix returns, does that factor in his decision or not?
Could he be waiting on that?

no...slotback type, anyway

[LRCentralTiger]

There is nothing the other schools can offer in regards to playing time that Arkansas can't offer.  I'd be utterly shocked if he switched.

I read where one of Tennessee's ace recruiter called on Curtis and has managed to get him to commit to an official visit.  Is there any truth to this?  Caldwell of Tennessee has made a living pulling good players from our state.  Everybody says Phat Phil but it is Caldwell who does the damage.

[The_Bionic_Pig]

As I stated about 3 weeks ago,  The Warren & Camden verbals are going to stay instate. This has now been magnified 10 fold with David Lee becoming the QB coach of the Miami Dolphins.  He was the main orchestrator & reason Arkansas got most of its early verbals in 07'

[LRCentralTiger]

Askew to join Curtis on trip to Tennessee according to Tennessee recruiting gurus.  I do not like this at all.  I sure hope you are correct Woo Pig Stewie.  They better be die hard Razorbacks or Caldwell will sure make it tempting.

Seems like Ok State may not get Trooper Taylor to join there staff after all but that could hurt us anyway if he stays at Tennessee and convinces Curtis to come play for him there.  :|

If Taylor does not go to Ok State the Vols will have two of the top 25 recruiter in the nation.  The Vols hired running backs coach Stan Drayton from Urban Meyer.  Drayton along with Trooper are up and coming coaches according to many writers.  They both proved they can recruit.  The coaching part remains to be seen.  I am sure Stoops does not care about Trooper at Oklahoma State.

Do you know them. No one knows what they will do for sure and i doubt they know 100%

[Throwback1]

I know 'em, and I can tell you that right now, this second, D' doesn't know where he's going, and anybody who tells you they KNOW right now that he is is lying.

[ArKan5a5 KiD]

Throwback is a very good reliable source on the Camden kids b/c if i'm thinking correctly Throwback is from Camden and close to the school??? Same throwback off fearlessfriday??

i talked to askews father yesterday and the feeling i got from him was he's just taking the trip,but he's going to be a hog.

Yep...and cardfan is correct...I am confident Youngblood and Askew will end up at Arkansas, and while I"m hopeful that D will, like all Hog fans should be, I"m just saying that D still has a decision to make, as of right now.

[toshortrock]

we need this young man,,bad,,

[ArKan5a5 KiD]

I thought i recognized that name. Yea i know Youngblood will be a Hog and i also think that D will end up being a Hog. I really believe that he's just checkin all his options and checking around and making sure he makes the right decision. I think that after he takes his official visit this month he will solid up his commitement and i also believe that the relationship that he has with Youngblood will also play a role in his decision b/c they are supposed to room together but we will see in the next month!

Come on Curtis, you are a starter next year at DB and an impact at FL

[Throwback1]

DB?...uh....not.

[ArKan5a5 KiD]

U'd be crzy to put that kid at DB. Although he is a GREAT athlete he belongs at TB and he belongs returning punts and kicks. The boy is a playmaker and a great receiver outta the backfield and in the slot. I dont like making comparisons but if i had to say he was like someone i'd say he was like Reggie Bush b/c the boy can do it all and i just hope he chooses the hogs b/c he is a must get!

[Hog Fan from Camden]

Where did the DB idea come from?

[ksrazorback]

Petrino; "Philosophy that we call 'FTS' -- Feed the Studs. We want to get the ball to our best players and make sure we utilize the guys who can go out and make plays."

There you have it De, only at Arkansas you can be a Razorback FTS...

Come on Curtis, you are a starter next year at DB and an impact at FL

Man each time I see those bouncing beauties, it completely throws my thinking off... great Avatar!!

Reply #43 last page is the first time I've ever heard it.

[OKhogfan1959]

Throwback1 thanks for the info.

Is there pressure down there for  Curtis to leave the state? I hope not. He would play plenty at Arkansas and since I just heard on  the radio that Felix is leaving he would most likely be the stud that Petrino would be feeding.

Get to work on him man!! We need him!!

[hogsfan4l1fe]

DB?...uh....not.

I imagine that was a typo

[jgphillips3]

I just hope, if he doesn't come here, he stays away from other SEC schools.

[ArkHogJason]

come on dude he is a very good RB.

[The_Bionic_Pig]

I am hearing Felix Jones is gone so maybe that sweeten's the pot a little .

Not local pressure to leave...everybody wants him at Fayetteville...but there are a lot of sharks smellin' the blood and circlin'...OSU, TT, TENN and now rumor of several more Top 10 teams...keep your fingers crossed

[ArKan5a5 KiD]

Yea there was a bunch of Sharks hanging around once Nutt left and for the month that we didnt have a coach but i think once he gets to sit down with Petrino again and when it comes signing day he'll be a HOG. But may i ask where ya'll are hearing that Felix is leaving?? From i see there is a bunch of JR RB's coming out in this draft.
