Harvill Commits To K-State

[AcePigtura]

Per a mutual friend, Sam Harvill committed to Kansas State today. I imagine that the reports will hit the news in the next 24 hours.

[Seebs]

Sure hope he camps at Arkansas to get better evaluated.

Best of luck to him if this is his final choice - BCS scholarships are not easy to come by. Grats to the Harvill family. 

[Dalt21]

Thanks for the info Ace

[linze82]

congrats to harvil

[jdhogster]

Congrats, but I hope he pulls a Barnett and switches (but without all the drama)

[The_Boot_stops_here]

good for him....best of luck

[Quite Frankly]

Bye.

[Oklahawg]

Good for Harvill. I, too, hope he camps at UA and he can earn an offer to UA.

[LSPRazorbac]

Possible but he would need an offer first

[LJHOG]

well ............ bye

[Tomhog™]

I've heard for weeks now he was a silent commit to KSU.  Guess the cat's outta the bag now.  Good for him.  No come to camp and show the Arkansas staff that you belong in the SEC.

[mmhogs17]

Now im pretty sure K-State fans think they have Frazier all wrapped up now. lol

[3kgthog]

It just shows you gotta do more than bench press 24/7 to get an offer from BP. Good luck in Manhattan.

[Quite Frankly]

Maybe if he'd have gone to a better high school.

I would rather have Petrino in control of this program than any other coach I can think of except maybe Saban.

But he is very stubborn about these borderline instate kids. Im not sure I understand why. A reach or two in recruiting is OK if it helps you lock up a sure thing in a position of need. Im not saying we should let their girlfriend on the roster but a kid who shows the potential to do it at the next level in a K state uniform might be worth an Arkansas offer.

[jackflash]

Good luck. Think this maybe a good choice for him? May have a chance to play as a Freshman?

[heatmiser]

My assumption is that is was a "commit to us now, or else..." type situation.  If he earns a UA offer, he might just come here.

Borderline in-state kids will get offers at the end of recruiting, not the beginning. That mentality moved on to Oxford.

We have offered eight or so in-state kids with perhaps as many as five more coming after camps. Garret Uekman was in the same situation as Harvill last year. Uekman said ' I am coming to Camp to EARN a scholarship'. I hope Harvill has the same attitude and brings it to Fayetteville.

I do not think Petrino is stubborn, I think he is forthright I believe that he has informed Harvill he is number X on his pecking order. Come to camp Harvill and change this - show me.

The Mitchell kid from Heber Springs should show you that Petrino does not count on in-state rankings, but player evaluation to make his offers. Harvill may simply not fit into the scheme being created.

Anyway, I bristled at the word 'stubborn' when the coach simply wants the best players for the team - why would he not?

[SquidBilly]

K-State is a good situation for Harvill.  He can still make a name for himself just without all the expectation he'd have if he were playing here.  I do hope however that he still works to get an offer from the Hogs.

[masterhog]

I am glad to see Harvill joining Mitchell Roberts at K-State. I wonder if anyone else from Shiloh plans to join them?

[oldbear]

It is very hard for me to understand how people can get on a recruiting site approximately 9 months before national signing day and be negative about a kid that, by all indications, is a good kid, when that kid makes a verbal to a school that is not in the SEC and the kid does not have an offer to Arkansas.  We have no idea where Harvill sits on Arkansas' list of wants or needs.  We have no idea what discussions Coach Petrino has had with him.  Are some of you jealous of an 18 year old kid that got offered a scholarship to play Division 1 football?

I am with those of you that hope Harvill comes to camp and gets an offer and plays for the Hogs.  If he does not, however, I wish him well.

Man am I with you on that.

[IronHog]

The ONLY way the Hogs can compete long term in the SEC is for Arkansas kids to view a offer from the Hogs as something to be excited about vs. a fall back position or birthright.

It is high risk, high reward.....but the only way BP can build a program he would want to coach for the possible mid or long term.

[RazorBassin]

Congats to the Harvill family.  I hope that he comes to camp and earns an Arkansas schollie, but if not I still wish him well.

I agree with this 100%. Kids need to realize just how special an offer from CBP and his staff really is.

[Hog Fan from Camden]

Man am I with you on that.

Ditto.  I do not understand some people.

[AcePigtura]

Ditto.  I do not understand some people.

Word. Congrats to Harvill.

Uhh......don't you mean "precious"?

Excellent post.   I'm glad for Harvill.  He's getting a full scholarship to college.  Great news!  If he gets an offer from Arkansas, even better!

[Tomhog™]

We should all be happy for him.  Personally, I don't believe Harvill will be content with KSU and come to Arkansas camp to try and earn a schollie.  The worst thing that could happen is he doesn't get an offer and still winds up at KSU.

[masterhog]

Arkansas would have offered Harvill by now if they were going to. His measurables are not (not even close) of those of  SEC players. Hopefully he will do well at KState.

[cardinalandwhite]

Not necessarily.  They'll want to weigh and measure him before offering, especially with questions concerning his height and arm length and its implications for playing an interior line position.

[tbhogfan]

While I agree with you in wishing him well, I disagree that Arkansas was/is not going to offer him.     

[old hog]

Still would love to see him in Razorback red. Hopefully he can go to camp and earn an offer from Petrino. But if not then I wish him well at K-state. Seems like a classy kid.

[SC-RAZOR]

Go back to Fearless Friday where you belong. You're a mod there and you can run down 18 year old and younger kids all you want. Quite Frankly, you and your opinion have worn out your welcome. I'll never understand why Lanny made you a mod. You ruined that site. Leave this one alone.

There won't be an offer until he earns one at camp.  it is as simple as that.  I think its great he got a BCS offer, and I'm not suprised he jumped on it.  I'm sure he will be a solid player for the wildcats.  I wish him well.

Thanks for making my day.

congrats!!!!

[masterhog]

Congrats to Mr. Harvill. Let's move on to Hog recruits/offers. It's time to move away from just a guy who can bench press with short arms.

I agree with all of this statement.....especially the "Congrats to Mr. Harvill" part.....but the last sentence is why there is no offer from the CBP......

[heatmiser]

well ............ bye

Nice Tombstone quote

[Ash]

Happy he got an offer to play at the next level. I hope he goes to a UofA camp and blows the socks off some coaches and comes away with an offer from UofA.

[DeltaBoy]

Good for Harvill but as others have said I hope he gets an offer from UA and becomes a Hog.

[fullfan]

So is the commit to K-State a rumor?

[Wild Bill Hog]

Maybe if he'd have gone to a better high school.

Maybe if he had been taller.
