La'Michael Pettway of Nashville

[ml2200]

offered by Bama.  Already holds offers from Nebraska and Ole Miss I believe.  I don't think we have to be the first offer, but what's the hold up?

[Bubba's Bruisers]

RB?

[ml2200]

WR

[CDBHawg]

Been saying for weeks that he needs an offer.

[Razorpigg]

Been saying for weeks that he needs an offer.

This.  We can't slow play in state recruits just because they are Arkansas kids.  If he is good enough for Bama he has to be good enough for us as well wouldn't ya think?

[Bubba's Bruisers]

So he's a WR...go get 'em.  and it's not as if Hill is all Hog. 

[ml2200]

So he's a WR...go get 'em.  and it's not as if Hill is all Hog. 

We need both of those guys. 

[secneahog]

I think at this point we shouldn't question this staffs recruiting methods.

Hold up is for a reason.  Just have to wait it out.

[lefty08]

people still doubting this staff knows what they r doing? Arkansas doesn't offer until they see a recruit in person at camps, im pretty sure its always been that way

[ml2200]

I'm not doubting them...it's just a question.  Relax.  I trust the staff.

[ml2200]

We offer hundreds of kids each year.  They don't all come to camp.

[bhavesj92]

I think Pettway will get an offer in the coming days, just like how Ty did.  Just because they offered first doesnt mean we have no shot. 

[secneahog]

We offer hundreds of kids each year.  They don't all come to camp.

Not all offers are 100% commit able offer.

[Bubba's Bruisers]

We need both of those guys. 

Maybe so.  I do like seeing us getting SEC level WR's to play for BB.  The sooner he can shed the misguided perception of him only running a "3 yards and a cloud of dust" offense, the better.

What are Pettway's measurables?

[secneahog]

It wasn't you the comments was directed to. It was razorpigg

This is a tired, incorrect argument.  That said, the staff is doing fine.

I believe he's 6'2 200 maybe.  He looks big on film. His hands, feet. Looks like he can grow a Lil still.

I think getting Edwards, maybe jojo is showing were headed in the right direction. 

[Razorpigg]

Well... At some point we are going to have to be the 1st to offer our in state kids instead of waiting until other programs, such as Bama, do.  I am NOT questioning this staff's ability to recruit just pointing out the obvious. Should have known when you do that on HV someone would see it different.

[Bubba's Bruisers]

Does anybody know if Pettway is a Hog fan? 

[secneahog]

This is a tired, incorrect argument.  That said, the staff is doing fine.

I'm pretty sure any instate kid has to be evaluated. Don't know how much Ty was evaluated, but I'd bet he was.

Your correct.  I do see it differently.  What's the issue with that?.. HV forum. 

Even Bielema said just because Auburn comes in an offers a instate kid first doesn't mean we have to jump on it.

[Bubba's Bruisers]

I believe he's 6'2 200 maybe.  He looks big on film. His hands, feet. Looks like he can grow a Lil still.

I think getting Edwards, maybe jojo is showing were headed in the right direction. 

And probably still growing.  Every year, we need 1 big WR like Childs and 1 quick shifty type WR like Adams.  Maybe this year that's Edwards and JoJo.

[secneahog]

Does anybody know if Pettway is a Hog fan?

I bet the twitter people knows that. No clue here.

[secneahog]

Yep. We could see that with him and kj hill.
Still curious on Drew Morgan's 2nd year. Big hopes for him.

[ricepig]

Wrong, we make tons of offers to out of state kids without watching them in camps.

[lefty08]

We offer hundreds of kids each year.  They don't all come to camp.

correct, but in-state kids do

[Bubba's Bruisers]

I'm pretty sure any instate kid has to be evaluated. Don't know how much Ty was evaluated, but I'd bet he was.

I assume you mean evaluated at camp.  Maybe so, but the poster didn't specify the location of the player's residence.

[secneahog]

Wrong, we make tons of offers to out of state kids without watching them in camps.

Do you think out of those offers every single one of them are commit able offers?..

[jjdlc]

One thing this staff has made clear, they aren't going to rush into things.  It should help keep us from making some mistakes in evaluation.

[ricepig]

This.  We can't slow play in state recruits just because they are Arkansas kids.  If he is good enough for Bama he has to be good enough for us as well wouldn't ya think?

Bama can afford to give conditional offers in Arkansas, we can't. I would assume an offer is coming shortly, don't we have a Jr day type thing on Feb 22?

[secneahog]

I assume you mean evaluated at camp.  Maybe so, but the poster didn't specify the location of the player's residence.

Right.  But he's talking about a instate kid. So that is why I said that.

[ml2200]

Do you think out of those offers every single one of them are commit able offers?..

I don't think we make too many offers to juniors in high school that are non-committable

[Prestworthy]

And probably still growing.  Every year, we need 1 big WR like Childs and 1 quick shifty type WR like Adams.  Maybe this year that's Edwards and JoJo.

He has a baby face! I would've thought he was 13.  This kid will probably grow more and has a lot of football in front of him.  Maybe Sam Pittman can pay him a visit.

So Gragg, Hill, and Pettway are all in Tuscaloosa right now.   That doesn't make me feel warm and cozy. 

[Razorpigg]

I concur.

[GEO-HOG]

Ha there's already a crystal ball pick for Bama.  Wish the coaches would start to get on these kids hardcore.  CBB needs to be frequenting Pine Bluff for Gragg.  This is a year we have plenty in state kids and I hope they attack recruiting more than just sending Lunney to see them.

He and Lunney were there two weeks ago.

Just getting their stars at a higher level. The kids are going to check everything out, we are going to do everything legally possible to get them, what happens, happens.

[HogsOfAnarchy]

WHere can u find a list of the 2015 offers from arkansas

I'm sure he will after this years signing day. Still trying to get kids on board for 2014

Didn't notice the Ashdown game in any of the highlights. They pretty much shut him down.

[HOGINTENNESSEE]

Overreaction time.

[ricepig]

Yep, Bama is having their Jr Day, we'll have ours.

[Rocket23]

Pettway used to live in Alabama.  Pittman and then Chaney have both been to see Pettway twice in the last week.  Plays guard for the basketball team - goodlooking athlete with nice hops. Had a good on-court demeanor.  I officiated his game the other night.  I told him if he would commit to the Hogs right then, I wouldnt call any fouls on him.  Didn't work.  But carried himself well.

[aar0n]

Overreaction time.

That should be Hogville's tagline.

[redeye]

This.  We can't slow play in state recruits just because they are Arkansas kids.  If he is good enough for Bama he has to be good enough for us as well wouldn't ya think?

So, we should just automatically offer every player that Alabama offers and change our offense/defense to match?

No, I don't see it that way.  Pettway will probably receive an offer, but I'm sure there's a good reason why we haven't extended one, yet.  Then again, we may never extend one, he may sign with Alabama, and we may consider ourselves "lucky" 2 years down the road.  I have no idea, but I'm not going to criticize our coaches, merely because they haven't offered an instate recruit, who already has offers from other big schools.

Having said that, I hope we offer Pettway, he accepts and becomes an All-American at Arkansas.

[Bubba's Bruisers]

Crud.

This Staff just don't understand recruiting!  They seem to be spending to much time in Florida, Minnesota, Louisiana, Georgia, all those states that we have no chance to get kids from!!  Why they spend so much time out of state is crazy!  They just don't get it.  Maybe you should make phone call to Bret and Pittman and get them straighten out!!   LOL AND Smh  sarcasm
