I don't get it, we told him he was the number one guy on our board, but that we wanted to look at some other qbs before we offer him?  So is he only number one because we haven't seen the other guys? 

No disrespect to him.  I just don't think that makes a lot of sense.

A lot of what this staff does makes no sense.

Perhaps what it actually means that he's #1 AT THIS TIME. The opinions and assessments of the coaches are always subject to change given evaluations of other kids who show up at camps.

You're not welcome here.  Go back to MMQB.

[Wildhog]

Sorry, didn't know the extremely informed weren't allowed.

Please elaborate as it applies to recruiting.

It's like you stalk me. 

[ricepig]

Sorry, didn't know the extremely informed weren't allowed.


It's like you stalk me. 

With 24,000 posts it's hard to avoid you. If you're just trolling, no problem, carry on. I actually thought you might have something to say, obviously not.

I have a lot to say, but it only ever gets labeled as trolling.  Anything that isn't unadulterated homerism gets labeled as trolling at the moment.  I have HUGE problems with parts of our recruiting 'strategy.'  Some aspects I won't get into, though, because I actually do have some class in regard to recruiting.

[Hoggy]

I saw this kid at camp.  Looked solid.  I just dont see how the Ford kid isnt no.1 on your board right now

Ford appears to have a big arm to go along with the size, he's played against good competition.

Agree.  No idea why we haven't offered.  His recruitment is about to blow up.

[redeye]

It is peculiar how this staff recruits, but they have their methods and they seem to work.  I mentioned yesterday that they don't seem to throw out offers like other schools and this is a great example.

SEC offers to 2016 QB's:

Alabama - 6
Arkansas - 0
Auburn - 4
Florida - 7
Georgia - 2
Kentucky - 8
LSU - 3
MSU - 5
Missouri - 2
Ole Miss - 4
South Carolina - 2
Tennessee - 12
Texas A&M - 1
Vanderbilt - 1

I'm not the least bit surprised that Tennessee has extended the most offers and throwing out offers loosely certainly seems to work for them.

That is ridiculous

Of course you would say that.

Funny how recruits think differently than you.

Thing is you just talk smack and never explain yourself.

Austin Allen.
Rafe peavey.
Ty Storey. 

Yeah we can be picky at qb spot.

[Wildhog]

Thing is I don't want to bash players.

Just wait a couple of years and you'll come around.  Takes some longer than others.

[secneahog]

Agree.  No idea why we haven't offered.  His recruitment is about to blow up.

Ford is a Kansas State fan. Always has been. He's visiting there soon. . .

[Wildhog]

Ford is a Kansas State fan. Always has been. He's visiting there soon. . .

So you're saying we shouldn't offer him?  or...what are you saying? 

[secneahog]

Just wait a couple of years and you'll around. 

When you do explain yourself it makes no sense.

[Wildhog]

Congrats, you caught a rare typo.

Now, explain what you mean regarding Ford.  Are we just conceding him to KSU?

[secneahog]

So you're saying we shouldn't offer him?  or...what are you saying?

Im saying why throw a offer out there?...

I'm saying this staff wants a dual threat qb. He is far from that.

I think he's going to Kansas state.

[secneahog]

Congrats, you caught a rare typo.

Now, explain what you mean regarding Ford.  Are we just conceding him to KSU?

I don't need any congrats from you.

[secneahog]

So you're saying we shouldn't offer him?  or...what are you saying?

Your thinking is we should offer everyone. 

[secneahog]

Agree.  No idea why we haven't offered.  His recruitment is about to blow up.

If he's a no Brainer recruit where is all his offers at?.

We know every school is recruiting Arkansas kids.

[Wildhog]

I don't need any congrats from you.

I'd imagine you need all the 'attaboys' you can get.

[Wildhog]

If he's a no Brainer recruit where is all his offers at?.

Well, he's a 2016 recruit, so they'll be along shortly.  KSU will probably be next. 

We're going to do what we did to KJ Hill and piss him off.

[secneahog]

Has the offers stopped for Agim?..He's 2016.

We're going to land kj. Can you post a link showing we "pissed" him off?

[secneahog]

I'd imagine you need all the 'attaboys' you can get.

Keep imagining

[Wildhog]

Premium board, so no.

Give me a few and check your PMs, though.

[secneahog]

Of course. 

[Wildhog]

Of course. 

lol, the source is KJ's dad.  Check your pm.

[secneahog]

Kj has always said he's going to take his official visits

So why is this a issue?

[Wildhog]

Did you not read what I sent?  Dude was 100% Hog until we completely ignored him at camp.  Then AU/Gus offered, and all bets were off.  It still took a couple more visits AFTER the AU offer for us to offer.

[secneahog]

You are invited to a camp to show your stuff.

You are injured and play mediocre.

You should still get a offer?..

How about not take it personal. .get healthy come back show out and get your offer.   That is what he did.

Avery....Barnes....multiple recruits come to camp injured and  dont get a offer. They put the work in and hopefully get a offer.

That isn't on this staff if kj goes somewhere else. Swallow your pride a Lil bit and see how the process works it's way out.

Now that kj showed he's a stud and got offered this staff has recruited him very hard.

You ever thought this staff wanted to see how he would react to adversity? ? 

If your hurt and don't earn a offer.. get healthy ..come back an dc prove yourself. 

2016 smackover wr didn't have the stuff at the first camp ..He got better and came back and earned his offer.

So why wasn't he butt hurt for not getting a offer?

We either got out-worked or out-evaluated.  Take your pick.

[Wildhog]

Is this a serious thought?

[secneahog]

What??!!

[secneahog]

Is this a serious thought?

Who goes to a camp..INJURED...plays ok. And expects to get a offer?..

We wanted to see him at his best. 

[Wildhog]

Great evaluation skills.

Apparently Gus didn't need to see him "at his best."

[Wildhog]

We also jerked Pettway around and it cost us.

[secneahog]

Cost us?  You act like losing him was huge blow.

[Wildhog]

Cost us?  You act like losing him was huge blow.

...yeah, we're so deep with SEC quality receivers.

And those are the kind of comments I try to stay away from.  Can be construed as bashing.

[secneahog]

Kj has always said he liked auburn.

If you had a boy ...he went to a Arkansas camp injured in hopes to get a offer and didn't gt one. Why not come back healed and better and show off and get a offer?

No reason to get butt hurt over not getting offered when your at a camp injured.

He came back...he CHOSE to come back healed and got a offer.

If you're a big Hog fan than commit.

[OneTuskOverTheLine™]

A lot of what this staff does makes no sense.

You are toting around a whole bunch of hate... I used to look forward to your posts prior to CBP's release. It seems you never got your head around why it had to be done. You really do have a bunch to offer. I wish you could let it go...

[secneahog]

...yeah, we're so deep with SEC quality receivers.

And those are the kind of comments I try to stay away from.  Can be construed as bashing.

It's not bashing. Just saying we will get quality sec wrs.

[secneahog]

...yeah, we're so deep with SEC quality receivers.

We won't see how the new wr recruits will pan out.

So why bash our new wr recruits?

Jojo.
Kendrick.
Hollister.
Cornelius.

All have to be given time to show what they can do.

Drew Morgan later on got a offer. He we offered by auburn. He committed to Arkansas.
