Interesting conversation that covers much of the same old arguments that are had on Hogville, just with more sense.

Identifies:
-The sturdy DL who isn't a pass-rusher (we seem to have TOO many of these nowadays)
-The athlete moving to a new position (recruited a lot these past two years)
-The late bloomer (meh)
-Short players (often think teams sacrifice talent/ability in the secondary for another inch or two of height)
-The undersized, quick-thinking, athletic QB (plenty of those in Arkansas)

This is why I think our 2017 class is slightly better than 2016, our DBs are a little undersized, and our Aths were not valued as much as they should be. Time will tell.

It was a very good article.  I'd like us to take a few more HS QB's and turn them into skill players like Patterson does when we can.  I also wish we had some reliable JUCO's to send our HS athletes to mature and return ready to play.   The DB's part was dead on IMO. Give me the shorter guy that is a step faster and plays with his hair on fire over the 6-2" Tarzan-looking DB that is a little slower and less athletic.

Our DB's are very much NFL sized right now, even accounting for them being an inch, inch and a half shorter than listed.

I am a Hog fan. I was long before my name was etched, twice, on the sidewalks on the Hill. I will be long after Sam Pittman and Eric Mussleman are coaches, and Hunter Yuracheck is AD. I am a Hog fan when we win, when we lose and when we don't play. I love hearing the UA band play the National Anthem on game day, but I sing along to the Alma Mater.

The majority have never been the issue on HV, just the ultra-vocal, ultra-inbred minority.
