Hackett and Eugene I believe. We'll flip 1 maybe 2 LB as well.

Has he ever mentioned what he'd like to major in?
I thought I read somewhere that he want to major in Business, which should put us in the lead. I will try and see where I saw it.

This.
For some reason our fanbase thinks we need 6'3, 250 linebackers when in reality the average SEC LB these days weighs around 225.
Our problem at LB isn't size but rather athleticism.

stanford business school >>> Walton college of business education wise. I know we're good but we aren't stanford good.

Yup, Sand Hill road runs right through the Stanford campus, while in Arkansas you can't get looked at for investment until you're an industry leader that just needs a cash infusion for capacity growth.

Well there are a few startups in Arkansas but yeah nothing like Bay Area CA.

I'm not saying we aren't a great business alternative with lots of potential in a high growth low cost of living area but the reality is if you can pick between walton college of business or a business degree from stanford all else equal you should pick stanford.
I love the hogs but if my choices were here or stanford completely paid for either way i'd have gone with stanford in a heart beat and never looked back.

Thinking back on it, the Hogs definitely would have had to recruit me. I wouldn't have been a quick commit. I grew up going to Hogs games but didn't truly fall in love with the University until I was on campus my freshman year. I definitely would have taken my visits and kept an open mind.
At 32, I can't imagine going anywhere but I know at 17 I thought that I wanted to get away.

Apparently Stephen Louis committed to NC State. He looked to be our best shot of WR's left on our board.

I love Dave Doeren, but we're gifting him talent. We need to go raid his state.
Petrino could've built off getting Chris Smith out of the Charlotte area but we never seemed to even go after anyone else out of there. His HS won 3 straight state titles from 08-10, and made it the finals in 2011 with a 46 game win streak.
Smith couldn't have been the only good player in that school.

Donna Frazier, the mother of Springdale Har-Ber defensive lineman Josh Frazier, attended Arkansas' practice on Sunday evening and called the visit great.
She said she loves Coach Bret Bielema and defensive line coach Charlie Partridge. She said the coaches have made a great impression on her and she appreciates their candid demeanors. Called them class acts.
She said she decided to make visit at the last minute and the younger Frazier was busy and was unable to attend. She said he's favoring Alabama at this point.

yeah this kid has been headed out of state for pretty much his whole recruitment. If he picks alabama though I have no love for that kid or his career. You want to go out of state to your favorite school with great academics I get it. You just want to go out of state to help a division rival beat your in state school every year the hell with you. I still hope he picks us but i'm not cofident I think not making a bowl was really bad for the program and will hurt our recruiting.
