Just unfortunate for them the schools that are close by them. Texas, Oklahoma, LSU, Alabama, Auburn, etc...all just a hop/skip away from Arkansas. All programs with more "draw" than Arkansas has in what is talent rich areas. Imagine if Arkansas was located in California. Their main competition would literally be USC and they could be the #2 program out there and suck up a lot of the top CA talent.
So, Arkansas to the PAC? Not bad.

That would only marginally help them recruiting wise, they would have to literally relocate the school to CA to get those kids on a consistent basis.
Think about the competition though - top CA kids have been choosing mostly 1 place to go in state, and that's USC. Their other options have been very mediocre overall in the state - UCLA, Cal, Stanford (outside of Luck era). Then you have the Arizona schools which are both mediocre. Then you have the Washington schools which are both BAD to mediocre. Then there's Oregon, who only fairly recently became more and more of an option, but Arkansas could easily compete with them for recruits in CA if located out there. Oregon State blows usually...Utah/Colorado? Give me a break.
