Neal Barlow is now a......

[jgphillips3]

Nice pick up.  Glad the people who ripped Barlow when he committed to Kansas didn't turn him off from going to Arkansas.  Now I just hope we see a few D-linemen come on board sometime soon and either Wingo or Davis (or both) for the "big back" slot.

[Hogjawls]

awesome news,Welcome home Neal

[Hawgvillain]

I kinda wonder what, if any, role Winston played in this...

[PorkSoda]

I'm glad to see Barlow hopped on the Razorback Train.  Now Petrino needs to get Derek Johnson to reconcider.

[AirForceHog]

We get to see how good he is against Lake Hamilton this Friday night. It's the game of the week.

If I wasn't headed to Fayetteville for the am kickoff, I'd have been at this game.

[Ironhawg]

6-7 with 4.5 forty speed.  That will be nice.

[Wildhog]

Mallet's overthrows won't be a problem!!!!

[Zen_Hog]

I'm glad he is a hog, but I hate how he didn't believe in Petrino in the first place.

[forrest city joe]

I hear this kid can flatout play. this WR core is going to be just outstanding next year. it's great to have a kid like this stay in state in become a hawg.thank you Neal Barlow.

[bigt05]

why does rivals.com still show him a "Solid Verbal" commit to Kansas?

[t-money]

Now we need to go out and get some defense...., like Gabe Lynn would be awsome. I think Darius's commit to us really got him thinking seriously about coming here. That would be a great tandum in the secondary....

Why do folks pay for late breaking news?  Thanks and I'll hang up and listen.

[RICKHOGHEAD]

Yes! Yes! Yes! Welcome Neal! Touchdown Arkansas!

[hawgsav1]

Now where are all the boo birds saying Barlow is overrated?

[iCalledThatHogBrotha!]

Not defending Otis, but you're wrong.  He posted a thread indicating the flip long before DTS or anyone else got the news.  He then pulled the thread, which had a post in there from me, when he realized that Barlow wanted to announce it on DTS.  He was being classy and letting the kid have his moment before anyone took the info here... 

You seriously need to relax.

You mean "The Sports Animals" when he was on there at about 5:30? 

[kclvr]

I did not think we needed him, glad he is here just saw several post when he was going elsewhere that it was his loss not ours.  In the future people should not blast a kid until the smoke has cleared.

[mizzouman]

Good Luck Neal.  Better a Razorback than Jayhawk.

[Hawgustus Caesar]

If that's the case, why did Barlow announce an hour earlier on The Shawn and Wally show?  LMAO!

Dude, you are not paying attention.  Otis posted this before Neal Barlow's father called Randy Rainwater to set up an interview announcing his decision, which was BEFORE Neal ever called Shawn and Wally.  Geez...  RMPL

[farmhawg]

Great to see him stay here. I bet with his size and speed he ends up as a 4* before the season is over.

[kimjongsqUeAl]

We are going to have one of the tallest teams in NCAA or maybe even football history!  Mallett, Matt Hall, Oden, Barlow, etc etc.  It's going to be fun watching Razorback football in the next few years.

This is great news   GO HOGS!!!

and Ryan Calander

[hawgfan_18]

ya Ryan Calender is 6'8" as well

Sounds nice but that isn't gonna happen..... the kid grew up in Texass as a longporn fan.

[RD]

[Tomhog™]

I wouldn't give up on Johnson yet.  Chances are still slim, but I can't count anyone out in this state yet.

[Hawgustus Caesar]

The whole wasn't wide enough for his fat @ss...

[ErieHog]

I'm looking forward to the Red Zone passing game in a couple of years.

[averyjack]

If that's the case, why did Barlow announce an hour earlier on The Shawn and Wally show?  LMAO!

It's funny no one came on here and said anything about it after he was on their show (if he was), so he thought he would go on a show that had more than 3 listeners.

[pitbull1]

Great to Have Neal back on board!!!!!!

[Conway Cool Daddy]

Does this mean we have to be nice to his Dad?



Welcome to the team Neal.
I hope you have a great career with the Hogs.

Woooo Pig!

[hogsfan4l1fe]

Well, that's not what happened here.  He knew about it, posted it, others replied to it, then he took it down so Barlow could have the spotlight.  That's classy.  According to Porkyswine, he just said he knew about it later.  This is not true. 

Look I've gotten crossways with Otis several times on that board, but this time he did the right thing and was all over the story.  It's okay if he's on point now and then, right?

The sun shines on a dog's ass every now and then. Unfortunately for Grit, his a$$ is still in the dark.

You might check the thread in MMQB   

[tbhogfan]

I was hopeful that once Neal saw the Petrino system, and saw what kind of role he could have in it, that he would come to Arkansas.   This is a great pickup.

[wholehog92]

Welcome Neal.  I'm glad to have you in the Razorback Nation.  Bickering about board and radio show supremacy is rediculous.  I've got news for you from someone who has been around the country listening to sports shows.  There aren't any good ones in Arkansas, but I listen to them anyways.  It's like saying that your the best football program in the sunbelt.  I do like this board, but it has problems that I've pointed out to Lanny and he has his reasons for not addressing them.  The other board has the same issues.  We deal with these issues because we want to know about the Hogs.  Here in this very thread there is great news and we're bickering about the perifery.  That bugs me more than the lack of overall quality in all of our media outlets put together.

[Hogdomer]

This is great.  I saw in the paper Barlow had an offer from LSU.  I assume that offer was "noncommitable"?  Can any of our LSU fans clarify?

[LSPRazorbac]

Childs and Barlow/Grag split out, Adams/Wright in the slot, Williams/Cleveland at TE, Curtis/Johnson coming out of the backfield, and Mallet/Wilson at QB--I foresee a lot of 300 yard passing games in Arkansas' future
