We will finally compete in football when NWA has tripled in size in 20 years. I just don't see us competing until it happens. We lose just as many south Arkansas guys as we get these days to other SEC teams

I thought the issue was less the population, and more that the good football players aren't getting to play football. Isn't that what's up with central AR, at least? And NWA is already substantially bigger than it was 15 years ago when Bobby Petrino was here. That hasn't seemed to make a difference.
We're dead last in 4*+ talent produced in an SEC state, and it's like that every year. We also have the rare distinction of not having to share our recruiting pool with another in-state G5 program, and there being no pro football team to compete with. I don't think population is the whole answer, otherwise Mississippi wouldn't be outperforming us in amount of blue chip talent produced.
