No, you just take kids after other schools do. But don't get me wrong, Petrino is a stud. There can't be too many coaches out there who could win with the 3rd or 4th tier kids of the collective south.

Not hating and I know y'all occasionally even get kids who we offer. I just think it's rather
remarkable. I mean, you guys have offered what, 100+ players? Wild.

We have to offer alot of kids because we're so dependent on OOS recruiting.

Y'all have got to start doing something worth a damn in Texas. Objectively speaking, Arky should be able to win around 40% of the battles against A&M and schools like OSU (well, east Texas kids).

Doesn't make much sense.

We're supposed to beat out a home state school almost half the time? Not really reasonable.

We do fairly well in Texas for not having many coaches with ties to the State.

We got James, which is a great get very early on.

Top 20 class for the 2nd straight year and 4th and the past 5 so we're doing fine for our situation in recruiting.

We recruit as nationally as anybody in the nation right now.

Considering the shite A&M has rolled out the last decade? Yes.

Now, if A&M ever decides to stop squandering all the talent we get, then no. But only then would your current success rate be justifiable.

You guys should be just as dependent on Texas as OSU is.

Don't forget about Bennett out of Manvel as well. I think we will snag 5 or 6 Texas kids this year.

No, I look at offer lists. Your boy brought up rankings. The point isn't evaluation and coaching players up. The point is that Arkansas is a non-factor in recruiting (relative to its recent and historical success).

Sucks to consistently lose to a school with crap players.

No, trust me, it's incredibly ironic. And yes, to the point of frustration. Literally no point in losing to Arkansas ever. In anything.

But it would definitely suck knowing that kids won't touch the school I love despite itseemingly offering all that is needed...it's like this realization of inherent repulsiveness or something....A&M on the other hand? Well, it's like kids always know that our mediocrity is a temporary anomoly ready to run it's course.

I mean you can put a lipstick on a pig but....

You do know rule #1 on the SEC recruiting is no flaming right?

Your first post in our recruiting thread = flaming.

What say you?

Started as a legitimate inquiry. For example, flaming is when a fan base, say Arkansas, almost uniformly chastises A&M as gay and weird based on the appearance and actions of 5% of the student body.

Whereas here, I'm simply wondering why Arky doesn't recruit. No hyperbole, no inflammatory rhetoric, just facts.

There are different ways to ask your question you had.

I have no problem with you at all. I'm just telling you that they don't want trash talk on this board, unlike the Rant, and many have been banned for it.
