I can't wait for some of these wide receivers to commit.  Although, I imagine, they are waiting to see how effective we are in the passing game this year.

Come on Mike!

If you can catch 'em, we'll throw 'em.

RD, what class is the TE from OK ?

I liked the update of Nick Babb. Looks like he is a solid all around player.

[Huckleberry Pig]

Def need Pettway and Hill

[PorkRinds]

Def need Pettway and Hill

Those two plus Gragg would be a pretty amazing in state haul!

Def need Pettway and Hill

Mega dittos. A couple of big WRs would present tough matchup problems.

New commitment coming? Details in the 11:24 update

Thanks RD!  Hopefully Pettway gets that offer soon!

Arkansas really, really likes Cantrell.

Arkansas really, really likes Cantrell.

this is NOT, NOT, NOT meant to bash the kid but, how come Arkansas seems to be the only ones? (so far anyway)

[The_Iceman]

Arkansas really, really likes Cantrell.

Are they thinking TE or maybe DE for him?

They aren't.  Supposedly OU, OSU, Tulsa, and Memphis have interest as well.  I'm sure it's a case of us getting on him early before he gets noticed.  If he signs, he may never even get ranked.  But if he doesn't, he could very well earn some stars between now and next year and be highly sought after.  Who knows what will happen? 

[Mike_e]

It looks like if a player in the '15 class want's a seat they better get on board fast.

Hear this every year.

That's good to hear!

Curious minds would like to know.

I disagree...apparently, the only other team (at this point) who 'really, relly' likes this kid is Central OK...'getting interest from....' doesn't equate to 'really, really' liking a prospect IMO...was just wondering why

[ImHogginIt]

Or maybe even fullback

[mhuff]

I did not realize Babb shot that kind of %. In my opinion a real shooter shoots 50% or near. IMO a real FT shooter hits 80% or higher. Not too many for either. That definitely gets my attention. Clarke has been my favorite player this year.... He did real yeoman's work.

[tophawg19]

Cantrell's size and speed make him an excellent prospect. one thing that I think is slowing other teams is that he plays too many positions . he has the speed to stretch the defense a bit and size to play the middle of the field. just wonder if we could keep him if OKLA Offered ?

[BigSexyHog]

Can he play MLB?

[FATHAWG08]

I'm by no means a Recruiting Guru but this kid has shown enough to this staff to offer this early tells me They really like him. Don't worry about the stars. We are by no means in a desperate mode at this point. We are way ahead of the curve in terms of recruiting in past years. This is a very positive sign for the Hogs.

[Hawg_Thai'd]

I have a feeling it's because of the size of the school, 3A and/or the level of competition he has been playing against. Remember that "kid" from Osceola?

[Hoggish1]

Are they thinking TE or maybe DE for him?

I wouldn't be surprised to see him at ML...  260LB running 4.59...

[Hoggish1]

Can he play MLB?

That's what I'm thinking!

[trashcan maN]

Hear this every year.

This train's takin off! Choo Choo! Better hop on board before we fill up! Choo Choo!
