Jimmy Whitt commits to Arkansas

[Dirty]

WPS!

[jbcarol]

"About a decade at most."

Well, we are talking about a 17 year old kid here. That's a pretty significant portion of Whitt's time on Earth and probably the most signification portion to date.

Whitt cites relationship with Mike Anderson and Melvin Watkins.

[HawgnCorona]

Congrats!!  The kid made a tough decision today.  Easy thing would have been to pick Mizzou, but he didn’t.  He should do well at Arkansas.

Thanks Mzzu man u are a class act...

Jimmy Whitt says he's known Mike Anderson & Melvin Watkins since 3rd grade. Those relationships played a big factor in decision.

[HawgnCorona]

About time.

Well some times you just have to keep the faith man...

[trashcan maN]

Alot of tears on Mizzou board if anyone wants to go bathe in them.

[HawgnCorona]

I think we almost took down Recruit Forum on this one...I think we all needed this to happen!

[RazorBassin]

WPS!  Great news!

[HawgnCorona]

Yeah, great hire.  We'll just have to see how it pans out.

He(Fulford) is good at building relationships with these guys,right.  So Im thinking he should be a force for you guys going forward.

Lol. They're talking about Anderson getting fired and Whitt flipping to mizzou. That crap forum is hard to read, but hilarious.

[TexasRazorback]

Hell Yeah WPS great get

Whitt said the decision really came down to #Mizzou and Arkansas

Ha!

Yea, I didn't know they were that "crazy".  I mean when we missed out on Allen, who this staff put in more time recruiting than their staff has with Whitt, we had a few guys upset, but they are just going all out over there in Mizzou.  I read one guy say that he's going to be refereeing some of Jimmy's games this year and he isn't going to get a single call from him.  Seen a guy starting rumors about his personal life, and just a lot of slander towards him.  That's a really bad look.  I don't even think we got as bad as them when we lost out on Josh Frazier.

[jbcarol]

Official visit schedule is set for all five:

@JimmyWhitt33: It's set!
Official visits:
Sept 5th-7th Marquette
Sept 13th-15th Illinois
Sept 19th-21st SMU
Oct 10th-12th Arkansas

Whoever gets him will be very happy for the next four years.

Whitt said he didn't want to string any coaches along, so he moved up his decision.

[fakebobholt]

My sources say Whitt not committing to the Hogs.

Why people make up stories like this is beyond me. You didnt have a source, just like most other sources you tried to act like you knew something. You had him going to a school that wasnt even on him. High 5 to your source.

[Arazorbackguy1]

That board is horrible.  Missouri needs common core in a bad way!

[HawgnCorona]

Thoughtful young man...Gosh he could really help to elevate this program if he stays healthy for 4 yrs.

[BENJAMINX]

Woot!!

Go back and look at the posts on the board when we lost DGB a few years ago.

[-Blu]

I heard about the DGB situation didn't follow football recruiting much then, I'm really just now starting to follow a little bit of football recruiting since Bielma has joined staff.  However on DGB, I'm assuming we had been recruiting him longer than 4 months right?  Haith and his Mizzou staff didn't recruit Whitt only this staff that just got hired did, we have been believed to be the favorites for Whitt for at least over a year, and been recruiting him since the 9th grade, they are getting overly upset for losing a race they arrived late to.

Whitt said #Mizzou recruited him hard after Kim Anderson's hiring.

Austin Kim @AustinKKim  ·  46m
For MU fans, Whitt said his relationship with Kim Anderson was stronger than his relationship with Frank Haith. Said MU made strong case

Blessed to say that I have verbally committed to The University of Arkansas for basketball #woopigsooie right? 😏haha

[BigSexyHog]

Awesome to have him part of the program.   Can't wait to see him in action.

[hoglady]

Great news!!!

Jimmy Buckets @JimmyWhitt33  ·  8s
Thank you too everyone that has supported me throughout my career and my decision today. Don't realize how much that means to me.

[redeye]

Understand..but it was me.  And just as I told you in the Wallace situation, hope I don't get blasted if it turns out wrong, but my sources are pretty solid in St. Louis and Mid Missouri  area.  I was using  a different name then.  I changed my handle to honor an  Uncle who the biggest Hog fan in NEArk, from a little town of Etowah...who passed away a few months ago..before I was 3WayInn.  They also were the one's that told me that Rafe Peavy had wavered in his commitment last fall and called the Missouri coach's about visiting.  That was true as well.  They could be wrong here, but I don't think so.  We'll find out today.  But I am feeling good.  And...Whitt is a solid player and a solid character kid.  We are going to love him.

And you were right, again.  Next time, I'll keep my mouth shut and just be thankful that you're sharing honest information.

+1 to you.

[UNCLE BACK]

About two weeks ago Witt told some folks at an AAU tourney that he was not coming. He probably was throwing out a smoke stack. He said that Kansas had made an offer.

Sources, we don't need no stinking sources.

Etowah was the first person to step out and confirm Whitt was going to the Hogs.  +1 to him.  Everybody else just kinda came out after it was almost a sure bet.

I knew he was a big time player but didn't realize his 247 composite score was 97

[SemperFi]

This is awesome news. Welcome to our a Razorback family Jimmy Whitt! WPS!

[Uncle SI]

Very exciting player. Welcome Jimmy.
Can you imagine the hard matchups teams would face if we land Monk also.
Some great hog basketball is right around the corner.

[Jek Tono Porkins]

Big Get! Kudos to MA & co for pulling this one in. A few more recruits like this and we will be in business.

[dhornjr1]

[Nipsey Mussle]

BBsheman can suck it...

I made the same prediction. The difference is that I didn't feel the need to make mine a guarantee. You knew no more about him than you did Thomas and you went 1 for 2 on the so called guarantees. No one said the phony guarantees didn't come out the right way at times.

Just enjoy that MA landed a great player and drop the petty stuff.

[The real Hogules]

Welcome to the Razorbacks family J.W.!
I can hardly wait to see you in Razorback Red!!!

Does anyone know how early a commit can sign an Financial Aid Agreement?

That way the coaches could comment on his commitment and would have unlimited contact with Jimmy.

[rzrbackramsfan]

This is awesome!!!!! We can expect to be at the level were at for a few more years with the oppurtunity to keep getting better.  So pumped for what ma is doing right now.

[Hawg Red]

I understand the misunderstanding. You talking about Jimmy Witt. He did not commit and my sources say he never had a offer.

Good news is Jimmy Whitt did commit and we are absolutely ecstatic about it.

[TheRazorback500]

Nice to get some good news like this after a depressing start to the week. Go Hogs!

[Hawgzinbowlz]

Great players attract other great players.
Welcome Mr. Whitt.

" GO HOGS "

[BrooklynRoss]

Whoa, we got this guy? Welcome to the team, Jimmy Whitt. This dude has been tearing it up in camps all summer. He's the 52nd best player in 2015 and rising. I wasn't expecting this. Nice.

[HawgnCorona]

Etowah certainly did step out there and confirm but I think Porkatarian is in the mix too. He called it long before anybody. Not to take anything away from Etowah. He made the confirmation...

-Blu do you remember this thread?

[Chic-Hog-Oh]

Mizzu/Kansas is what I'm hearing.

Please post much less.   Thank you.


To the other Hogvillians who sniffed out that Whitt was a "yes" for the Hogs: Nice!  Hogville is the place to go for the latest, solid scoops.

[intelligence]

Yea I guess you're right.  He could've visited to tell the coaches he's going to mizzou or any number of possibilities... Can't wait till 5!

Ha, turns out you were the one that's right. Huge get for our program +1 to u
