took this from a post on rivals.

a portion of a synopsis of 5* OT Jordan Diamonds visit to the south.




From an Iowa reporter....

"Arkansas is very, very underrated," he said. "It's a very underrated place. It's actually very nice. It's a place where you can go and keep your mind strictly on football. The coaching staff there was great. The players there were great, too.

"I got to see everything I wanted to see. Arkansas was definitely boosted up on the list. I'm hoping to get down there for a game."



"I thought it was just a dry area, you know, just nothing there," Diamond said. "But there are a lot of things there. There are a lot of great restaurants there; a lot of great places to see. It was a good deal. It was more than I expected."



"Arkansas' facilities were amazing," Diamond said. "Everything is brand new. They're doing a renovation also to get some more brand new stuff down there. It will be even better.

"Ole Miss, there stuff was nice, too. But it was kind of old down there. They talked about a renovation, too, when I talked to Coach (Houston) Nutt in his office.

"The coaching staff down in Arkansas and at Iowa are high-tempo. Those coaching staffs are get-after-it type guys. Down there at Ole Miss, they're kind of laid back and just let things play out. They're cool, calm and collected."

Does that article say if he ended up going to Auburn or not? I know he cancelled his visits to UT and Vandy but I hadn't heard anything about Auburn.

Didn't seem like he had the greatest visit based on that quote. Wonder what he means by "old"?

hmm....interesting. I've been hearing a lot of talk behind the scenes that there could be possible renderings of a North Endzone expansion.

Sounds like he enjoyed his trip South. Even with the 100+ degree temps. Still going to be hard to pull him out of Big 10(?) country.
