Bielema and Anderson address the media

@RazNation: BB: Kurt Anderson brings a dynamic factor to our O Line Coaching Job. He's very detail-driven

@4029AJ: Bielema says when recruiting new OL coach Kurt Anderson, he was "entertained" by his Twitter account. Can't blame him

@RazNation: BB: I like the fact we have a guy like Keon Hatcher coming back

@DannyWest1: Bielema says Randy Ramsey will be with them in the spring as a walk-on. He's not 100 percent sure, but looks likely.

@RazNation: BB: I'd like to sign a minimum of four offensive linemen

Hot damn thats good news.

DudleyD: Coach B: On Kurt Anderson - like that he has 5 years, like they he developed in college and didn't have it easy, I love following his twitter account, he laid out a great plan. I had some guys with 15 years in the NFL, but I didn't think they had the dynamic I needed here at Arkansas


DudleyD: Coach B: I am going to put Coach Anderson and East Texas. We are going to hit the Midwest more. May even go do some satellite camps in those areas.

DudleyD: Coach B: I want to sign 4 OL, might go to 5. I think we can improve 2 of the 3 positions that we had lost. If Denver had come back, we were going to move him to guard


DudleyD: Coach B: Spring practice will start on Tuesday after spring practice - which is March 21-25.


DudleyD: Coach B: I think we are going to get to at least 24 and probably 25 scholarships in this recruiting class.

Not good news on Josh Williams

That means Wallace is probably going to for sure play a tackle for us.

DudleyD: Coach B: Josh Williams had to have another procedure. He has lost a lot of that calf. It is probably going to be a long time before he can play football again. He won't be able to practice this spring and may not be this fall. I would hire him as a linebacker assistant if he can't play


DudleyD: Coach B: If Jeremy Sprinkle can give me one year of focus, I can help him get 30 great ones down the line

@TyESPN995: Bielema: We could have two of the best TE's back to back years.
(referring to Henry and Sprinkle)

@NWAHutch: Bielema says one NFL GM told him he wanted Hunter Henry and Jeremy Sprinkle on his team next year.

DudleyD: CoacH B: An ideal LB number of signees is 4 - three high school guys and one junior college

I really enjoy these last few weeks of recruiting

Mentions that J-Day has come along and that they are in on some of the top backs that he has ever been on

@ericwbolin: Josh Williams had another procedure. Lost a lot of calf muscle. Gonna struggle to walk and function overall.

@ericwbolin: It's quite unlikely Williams plays next season and perhaps not ever.

@ericwbolin: "Ideal shooting number for us (recruiting LBs) is four. Love to get three and a JUCO."


DudleyD: Coach B: I talked and sent pictures to about 170 recruits during a break during the national championship game. It was a great exposure deal for our program.


@RazNation: BB: outside of Sprinkle's creative TD celebration, I need a greater commitment from Jeremy as far as diet, sleep, nutrition.

@RazNation: BB: Sprinkle could give us arguably the best set of tight end performances in back to back years

@ericwbolin: Bielema doesn't expect anyone transferring out.

@ericwbolin: Bielema: "99 percent Randy Ramsey will be with us in the spring as a walk-on." He wanted to pay his own way.

@ericwbolin: Ricky Town is fourth right now because of time in program, but things could change in spring.

@ericwbolin: Bielema stresses Arkansas has to be a nation-wide recruiting program. Not just the South.

From 247:

Austin Allen got in a lot of work and then a lot of practices where the other 3 got a lot of work. If the first group ran out there it would be Austin, second Rafe Peavey, third Ty Storey and fourth Ricky Town. How they do in spring will determine how that order is then.

@ericwbolin: "I cannot tell you eloquently enough how thrilled I am to be here at Arkansas."

@ericwbolin: "This place is awesome. It's awesome."

@NWAHutch: New OL coach Kurt Anderson says Rob Ryan is looking at buying his house in Buffalo. "Rob, just do it."

DudleyD: Coach Kurt Anderson now at the podium: I can't tell you how happy I am to be at Arkansas. I wouldn't have left Buffalo for just an job.
1:38
DudleyD: Anderson: Notes that Rob Ryan is currently looking at his house and if he buys it, he can get his wife and five kids on down to Fayetteville

@RazNation: Anderson: My goal as a coach is to make you a better husband, father, and a better person at whatever you do
