Forgot today was signing day until I got a notice on my phone.

same. first year I can remember forgetting today is signing day

but that's because it was devoid of drama

basically...

This class was locked up months ago. It was all about hanging on to the ones we had and adding Calloway at the end.

people really miss the drama when it doesn't happen

had brown flipped today or we didn't add calloway, drama would have arrived

locking up the class early this year makes me think the staff learned some lessons from putu, cleveland, and fulton last year. side note calloway is a 4 star like fulton was and brandon martin is a 4 star like cleveland

Brett notes in his press conference that we still have a scholarship open and are exploring options for that.

Bama pulled another like they did to philon I believe. Maybe we should pick him up. Worked out last time.

I'm sure Long is tracking message board traffic as a way to judge his program.

It feels good to get Calloway after the way we were caught with our pants down, no backup plans in place, last NSD.

So, you prefer the Bama approach? Getting a couple more committed just in case someone flips on NSD?

Muschamp has recruited well everywhere he's been. Shouldn't be a surprise.

Listened to the CBB's press conference and was encouraged to hear him say this was the best class he's recruited at Arkansas.

He's a lot higher on his o-line recruits than their rankings would indicate. I do believe the coaches that recruit these players tend to have a better idea of what they are getting than the services. Sounds like we might have a handful of under ranked signees.

I also like our start for 2018 with Pool and Noland, and we have connections to some top 100 recruits in the 2019 class.

RW's brother is listed as the third best player in the nation as a CB, bigly, and a WR from Warren in the top 50. A top 100 QB out of Texas had a grandfather on the '64 team.


I'm seeing momentum in recruiting so don't ruin it for me.

2018 recruit that could be an absolute game changer is Gerry Bohanon from Earle, AR.

It's criminal that kid isn't at least a 4 star. Next year I guarantee you he will be.

He's got everything you want in a Dual Threat QB. Size, Speed, Accuracy, and touch.

We won't get him unless we promise him a shot at QB.

Not to play devils advocate, but he said practically the same things about the defensive line before this past season.

It's not exactly out of character for Bret Bielema to fart rainbows about his team.

He's said that for two seasons now and the performance has declined despite having talent at that position. Rory Seagrest remains employed. It's mind boggling especially considering Bielema has shown he's not scared to can assistants who aren't getting it done.

I'm sorry but beilama has a tendency of overselling instead of underselling like most coaches I'll believe it when I see it

Can we all just agree the whole hog sports headline calling this class sexy is really creepy?
