re: 2015 Arkansas Recruiting Thread - Football & Basketball Commits

Will Gragg is announcing on September 23rd.

I would just like to take this moment to say Woooo Pig Sooie!!!


Haven't had a chance to chime in today, I'm very excited that KJ Hill chose to be a hog. After the article about his visit and his parent's comments about KJ's demeanor on this visit compared to the other places he'd gone to recently I was not going to allow myself to get DGB'd.

I had mentioned to some of co-workers that if somehow we didn't land KJ after all that came out, then we have a bigger recruiting problem at Arkansas than we can even fathom. Out of the entire in-state and national class KJ was the one player that we absolutely had to have. His quickness and ability to get open (those damn feet of his are lightning) is what we do not have at an elite level. He's the game breaker we've not had since Cobi graduated.

The options with him in a Chaney offense are really interesting.

I've been down on Gragg and Pettway pretty hard. Pettway because I was hyped about him until I saw him play. I'm not sure he's quite the WR his stats lead you to believe. He's an athlete though no doubt. He's not a #1 WR, maybe not a #2 and he might not even be an offensive player at the next level either, he's not built for anything but secondary on the defensive side of the ball either.

If Pettway is up to par off the field and has his screwed on straight I'd be cool with taking him to sweep the state. He'd be good for depth and I'm all for bringing as many S. Arkansas players to Fayetteville as we can. We've been getting our asses handed to us in Texarkana and E. Texas since Petrino took over, and Nutt didn't have a great track record there either.

He had pushed it back to November once his recruiting blew up.

That's how rumors get started, CtotheV.

Where did I read that Jamario Bell is up to almost 245lbs?

During the Nike Training Camp in April, Bell weighed 228 pounds but has since added 20 to his frame. He said he packed on the weight through working out and increased appetite.

I have no idea who he reminds me of. He cuts a lot better than Cobi but he isn't the straight burner that Joe and Jarius were. He's more physical than all of them. He's different than anyone we've had recently. He's pretty unconventional.

Honestly play style wise he reminds me of Sammy Watkins. Not saying he'll be anywhere near that good but he plays like him. Really quick with a lot of lateral mobility and a lot more power than most 6'0 WRs. Almost like a RB playing WR full time. They both also go up and fight for balls like they're 3" taller than they are. I'm super excited for Hill. He's a playmaker.
