They have dropped offers at the last minute to three kids within a 30 mile radius of br in two years. Coaches are going to distrust an Arkansas offer, and for good reason.
Also, they'll be sure to tell kids to keep their options open because of sneaky tricks like this.

Obviously you're taking this personal however all three drops were valid whether you are willing to admit it or not.
Kaleb Blanchard was a JLS commit and Bielema had no obligation to honor his commitment when he took the job. He was dropped almost two months before signing day. Plenty of time to get on elsewhere.
Both of the Dutchtown kids are borderline on qualifying. We can't take the chance. They both committed in the summer and knew what they had to do to get in. That's on them and exactly why Moseley issued a public apology on twitter taking the blame for what happened. From what I understand McBride is closer to qualifying but it still not 100%. I can see why he would be upset and I don't blame him. However, it's not our fault we can't risk burning a scholarship because of a stupid rule.

every player should be doing this throughout the process anyway... you never know what coaches are getting fired/hired, who else is committing, etc. Same goes for coaches.
i'm not saying arkansas isn't without fault in this situation, but the idea shutting out another school

Wishful thinking, I doubt other coaches give a crap.
They were 3-stars without other SEC offers.
