Our roster is littered with 4* and 5* players.


But not where it counts in the trenches.

Arkansas gets half the talent we get every year. Shall we look up the recruiting rankings over the last 3-4 years?


Yet they just beat Ole Miss, the same team that blew us out. The difference? Arkansas has better players in the trenches than we do, an experienced QB and talented, tall receivers. And yes, they have a veteran HC while our HC is in his first season as a HC.

Yes, they did. So..if it's not talent, what is the problem?

In the same span of time Arkansas has recruited the following:
4 OL 4* (no 5*)...we had 5
7 DL 4* (No 5*)...we had 9 4* and 1 5*

Still think Arkansas has more talent in the trenches?

We have some pretty tall receivers, too.

Wims--6'4"
Stanley--6'2"
Simmons--6'0
Ridley--6'2"
Towns--6'3"
And this doesn't even take into account our big TE's.

I would be willing to bet that as a unit, ours was rated higher, too. Our problem is we are not getting the ball to them. I am not blaming the coaches. All I am saying is all of you who are trying to sell the line that the cupboard is bare, and all we need is taller receivers are wrong. We have talent to play with MOST teams in the SEC.

No, not Alabama. Not LSU. Not Tennessee. Not Ole Miss. We are depth deprived.

But let's not act as if we don't have talent and can't hang with Vanderbilt, Nicholls, South Carolina or Missouri. Shoot, we have the talent to beat, or at least play Florida, Auburn and yes, even Kentucky! (Who, by the way, beat Vanderbilt)

I don't think you are trying to pin anything on the previous coaching staff. It doesn't seem to be your style, and I have been VERY impressed with your football knowledge. but to say we don't have talent is way off base. Quit looking at what other posters are saying and do some research.
