You have to understand the difference in 5.6 and 5.7 to understand how Arkansas recruits. It is very intricately done.

Petrino never recruited that well either, especially on the defensive side.

New Coach that isn't use to the recruiting down here. Side note he was caught trying to poach a player but said players HS coach said he is dedicated to the Aggies. I guess he's learning, but he isn't doing a good job of it.

Was in the 60's untill two weeks ago. CBB gutted the class and started building it back up. I have no expectations for this class to be ranked high although it could finish in the twenty's. I call that pretty dang good after getting rid of some bad choices by the previous staff with a month until signing day.
But what would i know. Evidently dumbass bama fans keep up with recruiting more than i do and know whats going on.

It's the truth, is Arkansas not ranked mid 30's in the recruiting rankings?
Posted on 1/30/13 at 11:25 am to TT9
Because they are in NW Arkansas.
Does Auburn recruit well?

Obviously my statement about Bama fans being dumbasses is true because you didn't read this.

It seems like Arky just gets disrespected by the recruiting services more than anything. Maybe bc of a smaller subrscription fan base.
They do a lot better on the field (minus Johnelle) than recruit rankings would suggest.
OM and MSU seem like they are always ranked higher in recruiting but end up being garbage most years.

What hook? It's a fair question. He's not fabricating anything or hand picking convenient stats.

Having an interim coach for a year typically isn't good for a recruiting class.

Petrino never had tier 1 classes either. He coached em up.

Ok I'll bite.... simply put Arkansas HS kids are traditionaly UNDER evaluated and not ranked very high... several have proven to be much better than their rankings out of high school. Arkansas will always sign 8-10 instate kids and unless the instate class has tons of star power it will hurt their national ranking. We won't be able to win recruiting battles in Alabama with 'Bama in on them very often...if ever. The same will be the case in LA with LSU. Time will tell if A&M now being in the SEC will hurt us in Texas but our recruiting in Texas overall has been down for several years with the exception of east Texas. BB and staff seem to be doing better nationally so far than previous staffs but time will tell if that will last.
Facilities is not the issue... ours are as good as anyone else. NWA doesn't appeal to everyone. If you are a middle to upper class white kid, it's great. If you aren't, well..... not so great. Doesn't bother some kids and really bothers others. Having been to Tuscaloosa and Baton Rouge, they are much more culturally diverse than Fayetville. Not saying that is better or worse...just different.
