Why does Petrino seem to struggle on the recruiting trail?

I mean obviously he's a very good X's and O's coach. I would just think that a lot of top players would want to give Arkansas a look considering the last couple of seasons they have had yet they can't seem to lock down a top class. Arkansas is a fairly attractive school too so I just don't get it. Is his personality that bad?

I've talked to some people that have met him and they say that he really doesnt have a great personality. They say he is a nice guy but he is hard to hold a conversation with.

Good question. I really want to know myself...
Our football opts center needs to hurry up and be done so we can be like "look at our nice shite! Come here."

If his behavior in the LSU game is an example of his self-control, I wonder...

I mean I know they don't have a ton of in state talent but neither does Oklahoma.
And yeah I know Arkansas doesn't have a 100,000 seat stadium or anything like that but come on that's a much better place to go to school and play than a lot of places out there.

he doesnt struggle, its a perception myth that Rivals is always right, just about every single class he has as a HC has been rerated usually 20 spots higher and most ended up in the top ten reranked.
2008 ranked 36 average reranked at 6th

by the way i'm not mad that we didn't land DGB. I'm mad that she has decided to berate our program to a reporter and insinuate quite a bit of bullshite.

Because he coaches a mediocre program with no hope of wining with any regularity?

Well sure the sites are far from perfect but there's good evidence out there that to win an NC you need to pull in top ten classes.

It's Arkansas. While the campus is nice an the scenery is nice, it's gotta be hard to recruit there.
No offense to the Arky faithful.

Petrino if you watch his class introduction looks for a specific type of player, high character, multi sport, long frames and fast and him probably being a bit of a dick does limit his ability to sell the program

Not a recruits family member now. Also she just decided to rat out our boosters.....I really think DGB stayed home because of his girlfriend anyways.

Probably stuck in no man's land. He can't bow up to the LSUs, Bamas, and Texas's on the recruiting trail. He also can't necessarily promise kids they'll see the field quickly and often like some schools can.
Also, I've heard the personality thing is true, too.
