re: 2015 Arkansas Recruiting Thread - Football & Basketball Commits

So when's this KJ thing going down?

Oh shite. That's gotta be good for us i would think.

I refuse to get excited until it happens.

He was just here this weekend with all the coaches pitching hard on staying home. We've heard nothing on when he would announce then he gets back home and boom, he is announcing without taking any officials.

Maybe it will get Allen to take a second look as well.

I know its a dick davenport article, but the interview with KJ's parents makes me joyful about the future of Arkansas athletics.

One of the highlights was watching the Razorbacks scrimmage in a north end zone suite with Mike Anderson, Arkansas' men's basketball coach, Jimmy Dykes, the Razorbacks' women's basketball coach, and former Hog and Razorback Foundation associate director Marvin Caston.
“It’s like everybody is looking out for everybody,” Peterson said. “Like coach Dykes is making sure that coach (Bret) Bielema knows he has his back. Coach Anderson is letting coach Dykes and coach Bielema that he has their backs.”
Peterson said Anderson and Dykes wouldn’t endorse Bielema unless they were confident about the leadership of the football program.
“They’re not going to put their name on the line,” Peterson said. “They’re just not going to do it. So that’s why I feel everything is genuine and everything is good for kids because I believe each and every one of those guys would die for a kid. I believe that.”

“The best thing I could say it was really comfortable. This is the one time like it was more like we were visiting family. Those were the two biggest things.”
Director of recruiting E.K. Franks’ energy and enthusiasm impressed Peterson.
“I personally feel like this is going to really help Arkansas’ recruiting efforts with many other recruits,” Peterson said. “I’ve never felt his type of energy during the recruiting process of K.J. at Arkansas. Ever, ever.”
After talking to Franks, Peterson is encouraged about the direction of Razorback recruiting.
“He just felt like sometimes when he first got here some things were left off the table and could’ve been elevated to show recruits how the University of Arkansas can benefit them and help them,” Peterson said. “Not just in athletics, but just overall.”
Peterson and his wife left around 6 p.m. Saturday while Hill stayed over until Sunday and rode back home with Dumas tight end Will Gragg, who arrived in Fayetteville on Friday.
“Coach B made sure somebody reported to him about how they were doing and what they were doing while he was there,” Peterson said. “He doesn’t want anything to happen to our son while he’s there. And you factor all the other things with him saying the way K.J.’s character is and how he is as a person."
“It was like I know inside out what your kid can do for this program to the point of I know he’s a person we have to have, not just want to have but have to have. Because of the things he brings to the table outside of football. So it was just special. It was special.”
