New Commit?

Who called this huge?

Pat Jenkins (some sort of recruiting person) in another thread.

Look, again, this is nothing against the kid.  Just the way it was presented.  Think of it this way: Would it be huge news if we had just signed a two star with one year to play and one month to learn the play book?  That's welcome news and good for our o line depth but it's not huge news.

How was it presented? Maybe, it was taken as huge news, when it wasn't?? I think it fell victim to the normal hyperbole of HV.

I seem to recall that it was a play on the word "huge"... Meaning we were going to get a physically large player, That's what I took from it though I am glad we we are adding depth at OL. Cheers dude..

Well it was called huge news.  I chose to believe it and that's on me.

LOL, I picked him up this morning in my league....

Don't worry... Be happy. It's Oscar Taveras call up day!

Geeze just crap all over some good news. He is a good player that can help right away. That's pretty damn good to me.

Yes.  It's good news.  I called it that.  I don't particularly think it's big or huge news.  Maybe it's just a matter or perception.  Our rivals just got a commitment from a 5 star qb.  That's huge recruiting news.

I think only the OP in another thread called it huge news.

What would be huge is if he would solidify that left guard spot and help lead us to some wins! :razorback:

He is a 3 year starter that is supposed to fill a void for just 1 year, and that is going to allow us to RS a Freshman.   I think it is a great development and it is a SIGNEE....not a commitment that can change.   Josh Wilson and Cameron Jefferson are big additions that were unexpected and will have an impact from Day 1.   The only thing bigger would be a transfer of a great Free Safety.

It's Josh Williams, not Wilson...and Arkansas hasn't had great success with Juco signees and transfers. I hope they pan out and play well, but they will have so show it on the field for me to believe it.

Well of course they will have to show it on the field to prove anything.  Is there any other way?.   . .

To soon to say if the juco routes haven't been good to Bielema and staff yet. I look for Spaight to have a great year.

When I talked to Coach Jennings he talked about Tevin first and Washington 2nd. He's another juco guy.

Josh williams will be the first juco kid that is from the south Florida area. Hopefully that helps with his athleticism. 

But I wouldn't say JUCO guys have been bad with this staff.
Bad for Arkansas past?...Who cares about the past staffs juco recruiting. 

[redleg]

I didn't say anything about bad Juco players for THIS staff. I was inferring that in Arkansas' past, most Jucos haven't worked out well. Some did work out, like Alonzo Highsmith Jr. Most have been back-ups, busts, and wastes of scholarships.

How about Small?  1 of the 4 drafted players from this year's seniors.

If it isn't about juco guys from this staff than why does it even matter?..

[OneTuskOverTheLine™]

Not so much a complaint.  I just have zero worries about our o-line.  I do have worries about giving up long pass plays several times a game again.  When i hear big news is coming, I always hope it addresses that concern, but am disappointed when it is something that wont help in that area.

The coaching changes supplied much help to this area already. Talent is on it's way too...
