I think Baldwin is an OLB prospect. Also Magic Mike will be a senior this year.

If say 7-5 or better. Showing improvement on offense and being a little tougher/more physical as a team overall.

Of course, I could think of scenarios where it's a lot better or even worse. I'm kind of glad we have a legitimate opponent right out of the gate. Will give us a better feel of where we are at.

17 sets up better for another run. Better schedule and Lock will be a 3rd yr starter.

If we're 6-6 with a first year coach, that's a good year. If we're better than that it means Ricker really fricked us with being so stubborn not just with the system but with personnel.

Speaking of which, it seems the staff must be pretty satisfied with the guys who Ricker didn't play as they didn't go after too many OL this class.

Unless you are recruiting 5* OL it's probably best to let these guys develop.

Should be a tackling machine just like Weatherspoon.

What will be Arkansas's record this year? Who is your new QB?




I think we wind up in the 7-5 to 8-4 range. It will, once again, take us a few games to get going since we will have a lot of new offensive skill position starters and the early season record has TCU and others lurking.

We have, for once, a ton of talented QBs. It's a matter of which one crawls to the top. If its AA or Storey then we trot out the same offense we had last year. If its Peavey then we add some option to the attack but probably aren't as dynamic in the passing game.

I suspect that the Hogs really won't get everything in gear until midway through the season. If our defense does not improve while our offense tries to learn the ropes we are going to have a horrible start to the season.

I hope you don't mind me saying I hope you are out 100 bucks at the end of the season.

"I hope that is the case bc I have $100 bet with an Arky fan that Arky won't win the SEC and Make the playoffs".

That might be the most delusional fan bet I have ever heard of. Arky probably wouldn't even make a final 4 in the SEC West, let alone win the SEC this year. Their QB was a stud this year and he is gone. Congrats for finding that sucker and milk him for all you can.

I think this year will depend heavily on how this staff gels and if they can produce results. I know this also is shared with the players. But there is good talent on this team, a good coaching staff should be able to take it from the practice field to the playing field.

If the staff produces, 9 or 10 wins and either an appearance in Atlanta or close to it.

Passionate but not educated on Arkansas football. I made the bet with the guy and his brother said you still haven't paid me for our bet on Arkansas from last year.

If no improvement on the o-line.....5-7
If we're average on the o-line......8-4
If we're really good on the o-line......12-0

Why so optimistic? Because our D is going to kill people.
