Does this mean that Petrino can can contact Mallett now that he is not on the team?

[AnthroHog]

Good find.  I wonder how long until we hear from Mallett's camp about who he is considering?

[Swino]

I hope he comes to the U of A, we need him BAD.

[t-money]

I am glad this rumor is finally true, it has been around for some time.....Petrino should be on a plane to Ann Arbor tonight!

[pignatious]

We need Ryan Mallet to be a Hog. He needs to come be a superstar in Petrino's offense and come back home.  :razorback:

[Hogtropolis™]

Does this mean that Petrino can can contact Mallett now that he is not on the team?

Once he is released by Michigan, it is my understanding that anyone can contact him now.  Does anyone know if this is indeed true?

[Hogtropolis™]

Here's a great excerpt from the article.

As for Mallett, Rodriguez declined to give many details. But when pressed on the freshman's status, he replied: "I don't care. He's not playing for Michigan. I'm concerned with who's playing for Michigan."

Now if he truly hadn't made up his mind yet, I'm sure that made it up for him.

Also, is there any word on where the QB from Michigan ended up?  That could be a real key to who might be the main competition with Arkansas to get Mallett.

[SquidBilly]

Well with the quote Rodriguez gave in this article about no longer caring about him, then if it wasn't true before the article was written I'm fairly certain it is now.

[AnthroHog]

Well, with the way Rodriguez sounded I'm really rooting for Pryor to go to the Buckeyes.

[boilerhog]

Hey Nutt, now you can call the Mallett's to see if he'll transfer to Ole Piss and play TE

[SquidBilly]

Well, with the way Rodriguez sounded I'm really rooting for Pryor to go to the Buckeyes.

Or better yet to West Virginia.  Not only will Rodriguez have to pay them $4 mil and move his family into witness protection, he'd lose his star recruit to them.  Sweet justice for a scumbag. 

[Sao Ming]

Hey Nutt, now you can call the Mallett's to see if he'll transfer to Ole Piss and play TE

Nutt doesn't call him...he has his twin daughters do it for him then hand him the phone.


You know, we've seen this type of loss take place right before our very own eyes. 

First, UM fans will bag on Mallett for leaving them high and dry.  Call him a baby.  A quitter.  Better off without him.  A cancer. 

Soon after, they will realize RR put all his eggs in one basket when Ryan should've been the first QB called, not Pryor. 

Feb. 6th will come and Pryor will see RR for who he is and not sign with UM.  The fans will turn on him as well and put all faith on Threet. 

The first time Threet fails, fans will not only bash him but RR as well and wonder how this all came to pass.  RR will be chastised in every news publication from Toledo to Detroit. 

It will be fun to watch.

Come on home kiddo.  We want you here.

What would this do, if anything, to Wilson and/or Youngbloods commitments if Mallett did transfer here?

What's your gut feel?

[count of bacon]

If he does come to Arkansas does he have to enroll by January 14th?   And is it true, if he does by the 14th, Mallet could participate in the Spring game?

[Albert Einswine]

What's your gut feel?

LOL!  Too funny, Sao!

[Razorback Pastor]

Let me ask this to someone who is familiar with NCAA rules:

Because of the circumstances involved (coaching change) can the 1 year period where he'd have to be sit out be lifted?

[saywhat?]

Actually the UM fans I've spoken too would like to keep him but understand he's not going to fit RR's system and most believe the best option for him is to play for Petrino.  Of course, maybe I'm just talking with people who aren't asses and know a little bit about football.  Tough to find people like in today's society.

No.  Only under extreme circumstances and Mallet's situation does not qualify.

[Razorvet]

But it never hurts to ask. I would apply for the waiver anyways.

[AFWarrior83]

What would this do, if anything, to Wilson and/or Youngbloods commitments if Mallett did transfer here?

I say let them battle it out, and if the person that finishes last wants to transfer after it's said and done, release him, and wish him luck.

[Porkatarian]

What would this do, if anything, to Wilson and/or Youngbloods commitments if Mallett did transfer here?

They'll be good competition at QB at any BCS school.


Porkatarian out...

[ksrazorback]

Mallett's mom: 'No decision has been made'...

"Refuting Thursday's Toledo Blade report that her son has made a decision to transfer to UCLA, according to the Free Press."

:razorback:  RM you will look good in Razorback Red   :razorback:    :razorback:

[jim hog]

UofA needs all the help it can get. We need big time players.

[opineonswine]

WE NEED RYAN MALLETT. 

[LR Hog]

Is there someone out there that is friends with the family that can plead for RM to come here?

[tbhogfan]

What would this do, if anything, to Wilson and/or Youngbloods commitments if Mallett did transfer here?

(This all assumes that Mallet does transfer to Ark.)

If you factor in redshirt years, RM would be a RS Soph in 2009, and Youngblood and Wilson would be RS Freshmen (provided Casey and Nathan Dick play well enough to allow Youngblood and Wilson to RS).

This would potentially give us Mallet and Nathan Dick as RS Sophs, and Youngblood and Wilson as RS Freshmen in 2009.

Although I hope Wilson becomes a Razorback, someone in MLB is going to throw a lot of money at him.   The potential exists, though to have quality depth at QB for several years.

[dougieritch]

RR, What an A$$...he doesn't care that a 5-Star QB is leaving his team???

Hope RM comes our way and we wax UM in the future.

Think most of you are right, he's hoping to God that Pryor leaves for UM...would be funny if he went to The Ohio State University, however after the way they lost I doubt it.

[hogsanity]

What's your gut feel?

If Mallett comes here, then I dont think we keep both Wilson and Youngblood, especially since both will proabably have a shot at MLB. 

[DeltaBoy]

Come Home to Arkansas!

[arhogs2002]

I just found this link, which mentions Arkansas as a possibility...

[Streetglide]

Just posted today that Arkansas is one of five schools he is interested in.

[VenturaHog]

dang it, sounds like Tn is the team to beat.

[The Boar War]

dang it, sounds like Tn is the team to beat.

Have they already hired the ex-Mich coaches? 

Wishful thinking:  Maybe Michigan will put a restriction on his transfer like Louisville does.

If Fulmer is smart then he hires the QB coach and it sounds like a done deal for TN... I sure hope not... RM needs to coming to ARK.

[The_Bionic_Pig]

I doubt that it will matter after this weekend 

[VenturaHog]

I doubt that it will matter after this weekend 

Think he could commit before the visit to the Hill this weekend?

Arkansas is the team to beat.
