re: 2013 Arkansas Recruiting Thread - Football & Basketball Commits

Funny considering BB's much-ballyhooed statement regarding SEC recruiting tactics.

We're gonna piss a whole slew of fanbases off come NSD.

We offered a CB today that is committed to Kansas St and he is going to visit next week.

Why does everyone hate the Catfish Hole? I dont care about the place one way or the other but that place flipped Otha and solidified Koehler. It seems to be a magical building. Let the magic work.

Looks like we're bringing in an Elite 11 QB this weekend.

You're giving Catfish Hole too much credit. The magic is with the fans, the fans can and will go anywhere the recruits are hosted at. I've come to realize with all the off campus student housing off Wedington it might not be that bad of a thing taking them out there, but we believe on this board that there are at least 4 or 5 nicer places that could be used and still have that awesome atmosphere.

Reading Hogville's threads about the new names popping up is hilarious. Apparently Dre'Vian Young is a highly elusive Joe Adams-esque stud RB who definitely runs a 4.3 and not 4.63 like his profile says. Just look at how he outruns all those other high school kids!

Don't get me wrong, I'm optimistic too and I do think that Young looks like a good athlete, but it's truly amazing how quickly HiV shoots its wad over literally any name that gets mentioned.

Richards latest blog post says Monty is having some issues in the classrom and doesn't look likely to sign.

Coach 2B's can't recruit. This years recruiting class is gonna suck. It's never gonna get any better. The world is coming to an end

I'm just worried that it won't matter because this one may be unsavable.

this is germans ever since JLS was hired to take over...lets be honest

I doubt we sign 25 but will get some impact players...feel better?
