Jeremiah Ledbetter commits to Hogs

[Music City Hog]

Time to bring in the back 7 players...Walker, Graham, Haughton, etc...

Also this.  Secure Gragg on Tuesday. Take Pettway, the first of the RB to commit. One more OL (hopefully Barnett) and then nothing but back 7

[Music City Hog]

If anyone cares, this moves the Hogs up to #22 on 24/7

Will be #19 on Tuesday after Gragg commits, pending what happens with other schools between now and then. 

[COCHISE]

This has to be the best recruiting staff the Hogs have ever had.

I don't recall us ever getting kids with they type of offers as the kids we're getting now have. This staff is going toe to toe with the "big boys" and winning their fair share. They're also answering the question, "Can you recruit top talent to Arkansas?"...looks like you can.

Really need an OT...maybe Howell.

Ok, I can go with an OT. We are a little interior line heavy.  You think JUCO is the route for OT?

[BentonvilleJeff]

Sweet pick up.  :razorback:

[Boarcephus]

Nice offer list

Georgia
ok state
Miami
Florida

Goes back to what Frank said....who else wants them?

[870piggy]

The best part about this commit is that he will be an early enrollee...That means 8 months with herb before the season starts WPS!!!

[Bubba's Bruisers]

Wonder who they are getting him to fill in for since he is a C.C transfer. Do you guys think its to replace someone we are losing or just improvements.

Building DL depth, but specifically, I bet he's seen as replacement for Flowers.

[The Boar War]

Nice pickup.  Love to see the line being solidified.

[jjdlc]

The writing is on the wall for Muschamp at Florida, I'm sure our coaches pointed that out.

[Pigsear]

BOOM! Hog fans this is just unreal. this guy has a great offer list. and we are now beating schools like Florida and UGA of defensive Linemen. we now have 4 D-Linemen commits. and all of them have the talent to be big time players. the OL and the DL. it's happening right before our eyes guys. GO HOGS.

Fun watching it all come together ain't it Joe. WPS

[TheRazorback500]

Cool!

Not to mention coming off a few very bad seasons in the W/L column. If they can get this kinda talent after losing seasons, I cant wait to see what players we bring in after we really get things rolling. This staff is doing a Hell of a job in recruiting and its only going to improve with time. Woo Pig!!

He is going to play DT in my opinion.

[hogfreak]

Any chance his brother visits

[SamBuckhart]

Welcome Mr. Ledbetter. WPS!!! :razorback: :razorback: :razorback: :razorback: :razorback: :razorback: :razorback:

[CLIFFY188]

What kind of talent is he playing against, he looks like a man amongst boys in his you tube clip?

[TheRazorback500]

Must be big news. It's blown up rivals' website..

[ldfergu]

Shitchyeah!!!!!

I have been holding back from asking RD about an update on him for a couple weeks now! THIS IS AWESOME!!!

RD:JC DE Jeremiah Ledbetter has committed to Arkansas.

Wow. That is a great offer list. Definitely excited about this guy.

We are really starting to pick up some steam on the recruiting trail. Woo pig!

[BigPapaHawg]

This is just flat out Awesome!!!!!

[forrest city joe]

Ledbetter is a 4 star on Rivals and Scout. this is a big pick-up.

[The real Hogules]

He's a grown @$$ man right now!
Any chance he could enroll early?
And welcome to the Razorbacks family J.L., we're thrilled that you chose to become a Hog!

[ZERO]

It's funny how this moves us up to #20 on Rivals, yet #30 on Scout. 247 has us #22.

[The real Hogules]

I generally have adopted the "theory" that for football it's 24/7 & Rivals. And the best basketball info comes from Scout, with 24/7 gaining ground.

Actually 30 on rivals as well

[Huckleberry Pig]

great news!  welcome to the razorback fam Mr. Ledbetter. 

We are building something great here.   :razorback:

[Hollywood_HOGan45]

Just checked scout. They have us at 20.

[forrest city joe]

When is the last time we got 3 four star D-Linemen in a recruiting class?
1. Jeremiah Ledbetter--4 Star
2.Jamario Bell--4 Star
3.Hjalte Froholdt--4 Star
flat out unreal. this staff is killing it right now.

After Tuesday we will have 7 4 star recruits committed. Remarkable

I'd love to add one more 4 star DT and then call the DLine set! 

[Music City Hog]

I'm beyond impressed with this years class.  Think about this, after Tuesday, 7 of our 14 commits will be 4 stars.   Even more importantly, most of these kids have big time offers.   All this after coming off a winless SEC season.

The one caveat: most are on offense.   Ledbetter was a huge get and the DL looks awesome.  We have to now overcome our lifelong shortcoming with the back 7. 

I continue to hear national people say CBB can't compete because he's trying to play Bama and LSU without Bama and LSU players.   I'd argue we have tons of Bama and LSU players on offense.   Just go look at the offers of current players and commits, outside WR. We just have to deal with this back 7 thing now.

Looking solid so far though.  I'm impressed.

This has been the best week for Hog football in a long, long time.
Great win, lots of positive National press (who would have thought a win over TT could produce so much on a National scale) and really huge DL pickup.

[sooie84]

Canesinsight had a thread concerning him earlier. They weren't happy when he visited. They could see the writing on the wall that he would be a hog. Lol.

[1highhog]

Welcome aboard Jeremiah!  Glad to have you part of Hog Nation.

[lumphog]

Bigtime Great Huge Get & the young players in the back 7 will SHINE. Give em time.

[intelligence]

This is good news. Now we need to find some more defensive players for this class. You know, cbb and co are better recruiters than given credit. His offer list was impressive. It's cool to see us winning recruiting battles against prominent programs. Wps4eva

I must have gotten them backwards, then. One has us at 20, the other 30, with 247 checking us at 22.

What happens Tuesday? Is Gragg or Barnett announcing?

Gragg is

Barnett's current plan is to take all 5 visits then decide

It's between us and Alabama for Gragg, correct?
