More on Pettway

[Tick Hog]

 It may be already being discussed in the other threads if so merge or delete. Anyway he apparently has contacted the staff and Danny West spoke to him and believes that a flip could be in the near future. Pettway says that Hill has been in his ear and he also believes that Gragg is next in line. Go Hogs! Build that fence!

Very good news. we need all three of these young men in our program. need help bad at WR, and on defense.

We need to win some ball games this year and things will fall into place.

[SoonerSooie]

I am not slamming any of our receivers, but, we do need, badly, an infusion of guys that will catch the ball! I can't image how bad Hatcher felt dropping that perfectly thrown ball-- but, I know I was just totally bummed out! (He did make a nice play later for a first down).
That TD catch could have helped set a different tone.

Honest question here. I know little to nothing about Pettway. Is he strictly an offensive player, or does he also play in the secondary?  I figure Nashville is a small enough school, that their best athletes play on both sides of the ball. I know we need help at receiver, but it looks like our secondary may be a greater need, especially with the receivers we brought in last years class and with KJ hopefully sticking to his commitment.

I'm not sure if he plays defense or not but like you said I'm sure he does being that he plays at a small school. I know he plays some QB or at least has in the past. He is a very good athlete that could end up several places but from what I've seen everyone is recruiting him as a WR.

[al_pigcino]

Small schools aren't playing both ways as much as people think.  Things have some a long way in the past 15 years.  A lot of 2A schools have a solid two deep with only a handful of players playing both ways full time.  I doubt he plays defense. 

[Tim Harris]

According to 247 he is no longer a commit to Ole Miss.

[muddhogger]

Danny west just tweeted he has decommited from ole miss this morning. I smell a possible commit very soon!

BOOM! this is getting good Hog fans.

[Bubba's Bruisers]

Pettway looks the part.  So does his offer sheet.  His decommit also might suggest he's smart enough to see that there's immediate playing time available for incoming WR's.

[TX HOG]

He was offered by bama too?

[Bubba's Bruisers]

He was offered by bama too?

And AU, LSU and tOSU...according to Rivals.

[Dark Helmet Hog]

This is the most impressive job recruiting in state by a staff in some time. Great job!

[JayBell]

I was shocked that Hill committed so early.  All indications seemed to be that he and Gragg were going to wait and see if Arkansas showed improvement on the field before jumping on board.  I think his commitment was a major change in momentum in the state.

Why would any top in-state guys go elsewhere when Storey, Hill, Dean and others are leading the change in Fayetteville.

[Hey Super]

He tweeted this yesterday.

Would like to see Pettway as a Hog. If he comes would like to see us add a fourth WR. One with pure speed. Like to see other teams secondary be concern about the deep ball. From what I seen against Auburn they are not right now.

AU was a dropped pass and an unblocked defender away from getting burnt twice on Saturday.

[greenie]

Not trying to stir anything up, but wasn't it mentioned somewhere recently that Pettway didn't have a "committable" offer?  If so, has this changed considering his recent activity that seems to say he's ours for the taking?  KJ commitment working it's magic...

Love the way this staff is relentless on in-state talent.

yep. i re-watched the game and notice that too. on the play where Allen threw the pick, there was a missed block that caused that. on that play we had a WR behind the defense again for another touchdown. with Hatcher's drop, we left 2 touchdowns on the field in that game. this game was closer than that final score.with under 4 minuets left in that 3rd quarter, the score was 28 to 21, and we had the ball. then the pick happen. we played right there with this team despite how bad the defense played. this can be a really good team if we can play better defense. i love this offensive Line.

What kind of Receiver is Pettway? What does he bring to the table?

[Scott7703]

Dominoes are falling. This will be the best class we've signed in years.

Tall, physical receiver with pretty good speed.

[Kevin]

If he called the coaches today, would they take the commitment ?

I'm wondering the same.

Strange time, you and I are agreeing in the mmqb & wondering the same question.  Twilight zone stuff

Not saying he is as good as, but size, speed and measurables similar to Greg Childs.  He could be the physical receiver we need to not be bullied off the line and who can stretch a D but without the pure speed of a JoJo or Hill.

I was wondering the same thing. 

[hawgsmellgud]

He would not have recommitted without a commit table offer.

[forrest city joe]

Bingo. i was thinking the same thing. the kid is no dummy.

[Bubba's Bruisers]

He would not have recommitted without a commit table offer.

Recommitted?

[The Boar War]

Recommitted?

Probably meant decommited.  Anyway I thought the whole point of our recruiting strategy was not to offer instate kids too early in case we had to back off.  I'm sure his offer is commitable. The earlier story was probably sour grapes.

[Bubba's Bruisers]

The earlier story was probably sour grapes.

Yeah, the usual MO.

[hawgsmellgud]

Recommitted?

Phone butchered post.

[immahog]

I think he wants to be a hog

[TDHawgs]

Great news if he calls the Hogs!!  We definitely need all the big time WR's we can get!!  :razorback: :razorback:

[luke hawg]

Does he play defense? Big physical kid with good feet and speed. How about linebacker? I like recruiting kids that can show they like to hit on tape but he is an in state kid.

You are kidding right? Gotta be?

If not this is the best "can he play linebacker" in hogville history.

[OneTuskOverTheLine™]

Tall enough, fast enough, strong enough and catches the ball like a snotty kid catches a cold...

He looks good in the vid - thanks for the link - hope we get him.

Nashville is a 4a school with a good weight program and great participation. In the mid to late 90's a small college coach Billy Laird came in and took over an already good program he expanded the participation and went to an almost full 2 platoon system. When he left Coach Dawson continued this system. Now I am not saying he never plays defense but not normally. Wahls could give you a play by play but I have not seen him on here recently.
