You have to understand the difference in 5.6 and 5.7 to understand how Arkansas recruits. It is very intricately done.

New Coach that isn't use to the recruiting down here. Side note he was caught trying to poach a player but said players HS coach said he is dedicated to the Aggies. I guess he's learning, but he isn't doing a good job of it.

Was in the 60's untill two weeks ago. CBB gutted the class and started building it back up. I have no expectations for this class to be ranked high although it could finish in the twenty's. I call that pretty dang good after getting rid of some bad choices by the previous staff with a month until signing day.
But what would i know. Evidently dumbass bama fans keep up with recruiting more than i do and know whats going on.

Because they are in NW Arkansas.
Does Auburn recruit well?

Having an interim coach for a year typically isn't good for a recruiting class.

Does anyone really want to be seen in public saying "Woo pig sooi"

We don't have a heavy crop of in-state talent...we have to recruit elsewhere which makes it tough considering it's tucked in the NW corner of AR.
I say we do quite well with what we get.
This year's class can't be blamed on Bielema and staff, however.

Recruits expect to see nicer tits on co-eds than the coach recruiting them.

Clearly you've never been to Fayetteville.

If you can't figure out on your own why this years class is rated so low at the moment then I don't know what to tell you.
With that being said, if we can close with Alex Collins, Dwayne Johnson, Damon Mitchell and maybe flip Kenny Lacy then this class ends up top 20 which would be impressive as hell considering the circumstances.

Not exactly a new topic but Arky is in Arky which has only a handful of National recruits in any given year. Thus they have to recruit OOS. While Fayetteville is a pretty town it doesn't appeal to a lot of kids who can stay home in the South and play for great programs. They used to do very well in Texas but have really struggled in recent years, really the pipeline has never been the same since they left the SWC in that regard but they still got guys like Davis more recently.
With A&M and Mizzou now able to offer the SEC in those states it isn't going to get easier. They can certainly turn it around and have something to offer but it's always hard to win on someone else's turf if you don't have a trump card.
Essentially it is the same problems UT has except worse. The rise of Florida, South Carolina, and LSU have really taken their toll on a lot of OOS recruiting areas for UT. Just a lot more competition now. UT has more prestige and resources though and Tennessee has more talent than Arky as a state.. Arky has succeeded by some good coaching hires and developing talent but the deck is stacked against them somewhat. If they can break through and win while some of their competitors falter they can overcome some of that but right now they are digging out of a hole.

Not enough black people in AR, especially NWA, compared to LA and AL

It's easy to make threads like this when you're home state is loaded with talent.
but I'm sure thats not a legit reason, can't troll that way.
