Anything New with Justin Bailey?

[scooby21322]

Right after he was at the Arkansas camp, he was added to ESPN's 300 list.  ESPN and 247 still show no offers, however.  Has anyone heard if CBB has any interest? 

[redeye]

I believe RD said that he didn't think Bailey would receive an offer, although I don't recall if he said that explicitly or implicitly.  I hope we don't miss on a great one, but I have no reason not to trust our coaches, yet.

Time to get information on his grades. That could explain a lot. I wish him and any Arkansan well, just curious about his endorsement from Luckinbill and why it has not parlayed into major recruitment.

He was moved up because of his Dallas sparq 40 time which is highly questionable.

He looks like a pretty good prospect.

Don't you wish your sons had that problem?

Bailey is my cousin,  his problem right now is grades.  I taken him to all the camps he's been to inclincluding Arkansas. CBS told me personally that Justin reminds him of Korliss Marshall, blazing speed, good RB, very raw, a lil too stiff in the hips for DB. He recommended that he take to correspondence courses over the summer, which he is taking now, to replace/offset a couple of grades that he made his freshman year in high school. He also said if he get his grades in order it will change his life. 

The conversation was unsolicited,  he checked his transcript between the 1st and 2nd session of camp, kinda hinted to the possibility of an offer if he can get his grades on order, but never said for certain.

Let your cousin know I'm rooting for him to get his grades in order.

Lol. You know that's  why he was moved up on espn. That's all espn does is base everything off of combines. It's not like Tom Lugenbil actually watches these guys play.

I hope Justin gets it going in the classroom and has an outstanding year and signs with the school of his choice.

I still think the sparq 40 is questionable.

If his is sparq numbers are questionable all the other participants numbers are too...he ran the 40 3 times at the sparq combine all 4.4 range or better, 4.35 at ASU, 4.41 at SEMO, 4.41 at Arkansas on what CBB described as a very slow track....I went through the recruiting process with my younger brother several years ago and met a lot of major D1 coaches, all of them that I've talked said they would offer on the spot if he had the grades and to keep them updated on the situation with his grades...so you are one of the few who questions his speed or ability on the football field

Are you thinking of Tyler Phillips of NLR?

I seriously doubt that ESPN automatically puts players in their ESPN 300 just for having good SPARQ ratings.  If that were true, then where is Phillips in the ESPN 300?

He's another with a suspect 40 time at the sparq combine.

How many sparq combines has he been to?

Never questioned his ability on the football field.

It's hard for me to believe someone can run a laser 4.3 and not break 11.2 on the track. Just sayin.

Again, I'm not knocking the young man. The sparq is laser with a handheld start. It's  supposed to be slower than a handheld 40, yet his was faster. This is not personal at all. If he gets his grades up and becomes a Hog I will be happy for him and cheer him on. Please understand that. I want Arkansas kids to succeed. I want the ones that havethe ability to play at the SEC level to be Hogs. I hope Justin gets there. My gripe is with the sparq, not Justin.

Pulling for Justin to get those grades right and get that HOG offer!!!

Thanks for the informative post.  +1.  Good luck to your cousin in getting his grades brought up.

Mc Fadden ran in the 11.+ when he was in high school.  Some kids tie up after the first 40 to 50 yards.

Good luck to him and you as well. Thanks for the candid information. I hope he has a great career at Arkansas, but beyond that I hope he can get his grades up and make it anywhere. He has the gifts to succeed in football. I hope he can use them to earn the tools to succeed in life beyond his dreams...

Well, Tyler Phillips just beat his Dallas SPARQ 40 time at The Opening.  So is his 40 time still suspect?

[1highhog]

I hope this young man the best with his grades, he has evidently the speed and also has a nifty little spin move and a quick little juke that would only get better at RB/U.

Man naw... Nobody needs to hound this kid or any other kid. The issue could be a hundred bad things, drugs, school, character, bad knees, small ass, or we could simply just have all we are after in his position. Either way I don't want to put a stink on any Arkansas kid or push one away who may be working hard for an offer...

In fairness, Mcfadden got a lot faster when he got to UA. Seemingly overnight. His high school film never impressed me like Adrian Peterson or Reggie Bush did. He was good, but nowhere NEAR what he looked like in college. His college tape was easily as good or better than both of them but his high school tape is just like a lot of other "good" high school players IMO.

Danny West tweeted something about some big schools showing interest in Justin. I'll have to look to and I'll post it
