I've felt for awhile that Gragg wants to go elsewhere. He hasn't been that rah-rah Arkansas type that you'd expect from a guy that had a big brother that just got drafted from the home state school.

know what I'm saying. We're going to have a lot of TE's on the roster too, I think the glut at TE that we'll have will impact his decision more than we expect, and we'll be looking at 3 under 5 win seasons in a row when NSD 2015 gets here, I don't like the odds.

Arkansas takes a low rated prospect, actually puts him in the NFL and his lil bro wants to go anywhere else.

Other SEC teams will take a low rated prospect then sign the lil bro who is the #1 recruit in the nation because they took big bro.

Gragg won't get the "well makes sense, had to do what was best for him" pass Keith Jackson received for going to OU who used a tight end vs play for Hatfield who believed all ends should be tight...

helps the most when the big brother is still on campus.

I'm doubtful we land fraizer or gragg. I really wish we'd land both of them though.

That isn't entirely true, if you lose in state talent, you better be able to "replace" them with equal or better out of state talent.

Tenpenny vs AC3 for example, that' "OK".

Mike Dyer vs N/A, not so much.

Damn straight.

I can understand where they come from, All I want is to get farther and farther away from Arkansas, but I still want all of the best football players to come to Fayetteville. Crazy how that works huh?

I saw that map, it's ridiculous.

People of Weatherford, OK have zero in common with Atlantic City trash.

I can't complain much about Greater Appalachia though. Because save for West Texas that's all beautiful country. I've met some pretty redneck people from Indiana. It's got a little too much Illinois, Kansas, and Mississippi. I'm not sure what's up with Texas, but I'll take Dallas, Austin, and the Barnett shale and Permian Basin.

Him and Bell going to be stroking it from deep next year.

Trey Thompson showed up to his signing ceremony looking like he was going to a NBA post game press conference. Bowtie and all.

Hog baseball signed their top 2 commits today.

RHP Keaton McKinney and OF Luke Bonfield

Both are top 30 recruits and Bonfield keeps adamantly stating he'll be on campus next year. Hopefully he is like Benintendi
