LSU is about to sign a ridiculous DB class, so they probably won't ever take him.

This one at least has a 'non commitable' offer from LSU, may be wrong, but don't think any of our Louisiana commits even have that, do they?

No, none of them do. The only two I could see them coming after are Tolliver or McBride.

Doubt we have much of a shot with him since we haven't made any headway with Shaw

Although I'd really love to get both Rhaheed and Swain. Need some true linebackers this class, not just converted d-backs

He and Shaw aren't tied at the hip near as much as people make it out to be.

Dick Davenport on Solomon Thomas:

"When asked by text message if Arkansas didn't make his top 7 or 8 schools, highly recruited defensive end Solomon Thomas of Coppell, Texas said no they are still in it for sure. He said they are in my top schools."

Come on Dick.

The best part is there are people over on the 247 board getting mad because their article doesn't have us in his top 7 and saying well Dick text him and he says we are still in it.

This from the same guy who says we have a shot at Dupre and many other elite prospects who will never step foot on campus.

247 board

I won't be renewing when my free trail is up. otis is mediocre, the website organization is piss poor at best, and razorback coverage is better on the free sites.

I would agree about Otis. He says he works 12-17 hour days all week long but I just don't see it. He is routinely scooped by the other recruiting guys and recycles the same stories over and over again.

For example, while RD and Rivals both reported that Armon Watts and Brian Wallace were both visiting two weekends ago, the 247 guys only reported on Watts. It wasn't until Sunday, when posters started talking about it in a thread that Otis realized Wallace had visited.

I just don't know what he does with his days to equal 12-17 hour days.

The question comes down to is there a recruiting site worth paying for if you are looking for Arkansas coverage?


The only thing I do like Otis for is he is honest in his assessment of what our chances are with a recruit.

Probably not. Danny West seems to put out a lot of content but then I hear their board is a dumpster fire and Danny is a sunshine pumper. Never actually been a member there so I'm going of others opinions.

I don't mind paying for 247 due to the breadth of their services. I probably spend more time cruising the database and on other teams sites than on the Arkansas site itself.

I will give you that about Otis and it is the main reason I click on his posts and read them. He won't give you the RD treatment and say we still have a shot with X recruit because he said he might visit in 7 months. He is pretty straightforward with our standing and I can appreciate that stance. He's still lazy in my opinion but at least he's not a sunshine pumper.

well if he'd join this board he could spend 12-17 hours a day on here like the rest of us and probably get better information than he's getting now.

I haven't seen any 'service' better than message boards and twitter as far as getting recruiting info over the last two or three years at least.

I agree, I don't even bother with recruiting services. I get everything here or on the twatter.

RD can jump into a fire as far as I'm concerned, so can Otis.
