For real, dudes a man amongst boys at this point in his athletic career and could really standout in a run first pound it offense. Im in. Everyone else does shady shite to win, Im tired of trying to be integrity U

Dyer told USA TODAY Sports he'd like to stay home, saying that even if another school offered a scholarship, "If Arkansas said I could walk on, I'd go walk on at Arkansas."

DO WANT! Anything to help this team get out of this rebuilding patch even faster. The more W's we get, the faster the program gets back to the 2011 mold.

I was all for giving Petrino another shot.

Same. I was ok with dude cheating on his wife as far as keeping his job. That has nothing to do with football. But I knew he was sunk when the whole job and payment thing came out. Whole different can of worms.

However, Dyer was just young and stupid. I'm all for giving this kid a chance to be a Razorback. Especially if he's willing to turn down full rides to be a walk-on.

Agreed on Petrino. When he hired her you knew it wouldn't end well here. If he had done that at another program though I would have been fine with them bringing him here. Same with Dyer. He did some stupid shite at Auburn but that doesn't mean I wouldn't give him a shot here.

---

I agree with you both...

We had to cut our losses with Petrino...and I'm optimistic with Bielema at this point.

Oh Dale Denton that's too much good logic and sense.

Dyer is the perfect opportunity to show in-state kids they can't come home again.

Its tiring seeing guys like the Green brothers flame out at other programs then instead of the logical explanation of they were not good enough for them, so we don't need them, instead its they were whatever star players out of HS and should be welcomed back with open arms. This strategy is fine for programs like UCA, Tech, and stAte, but I would think of us as being above it.

Dyer is only interested in Arkansas for his own personal gain, just like he was interested in Auburn for the same reason out of HS, which is fine, but he flamed out of Auburn and stAte since then.

He shouldn't get a scholarship, he shouldn't be allowed to walk-on as one year of having him can stunt the development and growth of our current backfield assuming he is good enough to take carries from them, his attitude in the locker room and off the field could have a longer lasting impact on the team (see the basketball team as an example).

Sorry Dale, but this post is so hypocritical. What in the frick are we doing when we recruit players? Are we not doing that for our own personal gain? How are we, or any other university no matter the size or prestige, above giving a certain individual the same available opportunities as anybody else that is enrolled at the UofA? He shouldn't get a scholarship unless he earns it, but he should be allowed to try out for the team just like any other swinging dick on campus is allowed. If he's good enough then he'll get a shot to walk-on. From there he can earn a chance to play and eventually even a chance for a scholarship if he earns it. One of the biggest things that bothers me about our fanbase is the extreme jilted girlfriend syndrome we have when in-state players leave the state, although with Dyer/Mosely I understood because they were douches about it. Doesn't mean we should black ball his arse from all things Razorback.

The basketball team was a good example of coaches that don't take care of locker room issues, and unlike Fortson, Dyer has already fallen on his arse a couple times so hopefully at this point in his life he's realized some sort of personal introspection. If he's still a shite head then Bert should drill his arse like he does 20 year old blonde chicks and if that doesn't work kick him off. Just treat him like everybody else, there's no need to have some heir of superiority or ex-girlfriend vendetta.

LOL.

He hasn't been hit in live football action in almost 2 years, but people think he will come back like his Freshman year at Auburn when him being like a timid Knile Davis of last, in other words worthless as far as wins are concerned is just as likely.

If he wasn't from Arkansas, he would not have the support for being given his 5th chance in the past 2 years at playing FBS football. It has nothing to do with him not going to Arkansas as a freshman, which is fine, but the UofA isn't a golden parachute for instate kids to use when the flame out at other schools, in Dyer's case twice for drug use and not this isn't even taking into consideration the gun he loaned to team mates that was used in a home invasion.

But whatevs, Broderick Green was said to be the key piece coming back from SC, going to improve the back field, etc although he never did anything of note besides steal carries from Johnson and Davis while he was here.

It isn't a jilted lover mindset, its not caring if he is given his 6th chance here or not, just because it is us doesn't make it OK and the whole idea different than Ole Miss taking Masoli, Henderson, etc.

Mike Anderson had the balls to tell Jones to take his problems with him to aTm, just because Dyer was told he needed to play another year before the NFL was interested doesn't mean the UofA is at his disposal for on the job training.

If he was truly a changed person, clean, etc. Gus would take him back and give him his shot, but there was far more that went on at Auburn and stAte than has been let out. Gus knows better or he would be taking him back right now, Dr. Hill seeing him on his best behavior for a couple months doesn't change who Dyer is...

i'm kinda torn on this one, so i'll go with whatever bb chooses.

i am for 2nd chances generally so if he'd just made the snarky comments before choosing auburn i could get past that. but that plus the drug issues, his gun in the robbery, etc. all that makes me extremely weary of him.

speaking of, have we even had any arrests this off season? *knocks on wood*

This isn't a 2nd chance, he had that at Auburn (as well as a 3rd, 4th, and 5th) then Gus took him in at stAte and gave him 3 more chances.

Petrino is willing to give him his 9th+ chance at WKU.

Everyone is in this business to use each other. Coaches are using players to get paid more, players are using coaches/schools to get to the NFL, etc....that is just how it works.
