La'Michael Pettway update

[The Recruiting Guy]

[sickboy]

Sounds like a smart kid.

[Seebs]

He used the word 'we' when referencing the Arkansas facilities. Might have been a slip up but I like it never the less.

""I want to go into this locker room we just built," he said. "I want to go into the weight room and checkout the nutrition.""

It'd certainly be nice to think that by his visiting on his "Bday" that eventually it could end up being a great gift for both La'Michael AND the Hogs. 

[Steef]

Sounds like a smart kid.

I thought so also.

That same thing jumped out at me.  "We" is a great sign.

He should make these visits, see the country, tour some campuses...and then come on home.

[hawgmasta]

Reminds me a bit of Greg Childs; not break away speed or shiftiness, but big and strong and once gets going is hard to stop.

His offer list reminds me of Dan Skipper. Not the highest rated guy but looking at his offer list you realize he's wanted by the best programs in the country.

Can't be a bad thing for sure.  I think it's a good thing.

[PorkerOinker]

Would be a huge get for the HOGS.

That sounds like an Arkansas fan to me.  Doesn't mean he'll sign with Arkansas, but I don't know how you could take that any other way.

Also find it interesting that he won't be going to Alabama's spring game, even though all the gooroo's have him picking Alabama.

[Hawg_Thai'd]

I LOL when I saw that he moved to Arkansas in the 3rd grade. There were some that were talking like him and his family just moved to Arkansas and made it sound like he couldn't wait to get back to Alabama. I would say that his childhood connections are in Arkansas. Great Job again, RD. Those quotes put things in perspective. I feel we have a good shot at him.

I remember reading much the same in previous posts about Pettway. It made me think that he had just recently moved here too. I believe that he's Arkansas' to loose after reading RD's article.

I would say that if he has some close family back there in Bama that might factor in, but if his parents live here in Arkansas and have no plans to move back to Alabama, he may just want to be a part of this great '15 class we are about to get.

[LRrazorback]

I don't think he has an offer from us.  Does he get one on this visit?

[Hawg_Thai'd]

Might be a good Birthday present. Hmmm.

I'd be very surprised if he doesn't get one.

[pigture perfect]

If he came from Alabama, he might be an Auburn lock. Sure like having the South Arkansas boys going to the hill though.

[PorkRinds]

Since he referred to Arkansas as "we" I would say Auburn lock would be a bit of a stretch.

It's amazing the number of people that will just say things as fact and then backtrack when they get called out. 

[Polecat]

Not sure if it's been pointed out, but the background photo on his Twitter account is a building from the U of Alabama campus

[ricepig]

Well, he got his offer, guess it's another wait and see.......

[Virgil]

His background says "Prime Time".  Maybe he just changed it.

Yes he changed it later this morning

[Wahls]

Reminds me a bit of Greg Childs; not break away speed or shiftiness, but big and strong and once gets going is hard to stop.

He is not anywhere near as strong as Greg Childs and isn't as good against press as Childs was at the same points in their careers. Childs in high school was a physical guy who out muscled you to the ball. He is not that sort of receiver right now. We will see what his senior year holds.

[redeye]

I'm gonna take that as another positive sign.  I noticed the Alabama building a while back, too, but then he told RD that he was going to attend Auburn's spring game over Alabama's (they're the same day), so I see that as 2 strikes against Alabama.

I think a good season with a healthy QB meshing well with his receivers, we should stand a good chance with Pettway, among others.

Have to say it again, the in-state talent the next couple of years is fricking impressive.  That is all.

He sounds like the Hogs have a great chance of landing his services.

[onebadrubi]

I'm thinking the timing of his offer was planned all along!  Arkansas knew they were going to offer and in the grand scheme it isn't a late offer, but it stands out more because of the quality of the way it was offered.  Just a thought. 

Also he's been quoted as saying if he plays two sports he's definitely going to Arkansas.

Two sports?  May be thinking of KJ Hill there.

[Razorhawg09]

Gragg, Stewart, Hill and Pettway all may ink elsewhere.

Odds are we don't get all of them.

You just like pissing people off or what? I'm trying to understand the satisfaction someone gets by getting other people worked up?

[PorkRinds]

Guys, I'm not a huge RH09 fan, but he's right.  Odds are we won't get all of them.  Hopefully we DO, but I wouldn't hold my breath.  That would be an insane in state haul, and a great class in general.  One way above what the odds currently reflect.

If you get agitated by what someone posts on a message board, odds are your life is in the toilet.

When was the last time we swept the state? It's never happening again. Ever.

Well, I took up for you once, but I can't this time.  Never say never.  Lightning does strike twice sometimes.  I wouldn't say never.  Ever.

If you consistently post some of the crap you do odds are you're a troll.

While I agree, that doesn't really explain why you work so hard to agitate folks. I'm just curious how someone gets satisfaction out of pissing people off. Especially people who are easy targets... as internet posters tend to be. I mean, you have to want a smite to applaud ratio that lopsided.

You don't agitate me in the least... I actually agree with the philosophy of what you're saying many times... I just don't understand the tone you take.

RH09 seems to have missed a keyword here.

I believe that's called sadism.

Yup!  Mixed them up, I apologize
