I love the offensive class we are putting together so far. If we can land one playmaking WR (preferably KJ Hill) and another high level OL then this class is going to be legit on that side of the ball.

QB: Ty Storey
RB: Rawleigh Williams
WR: Deon Stewart
TE: Austin Cantrell
CJ O'Grady
OL: Zach Rogers
Colton Jackson

Y'all get me excited about Rawleigh. I haven't watched as much tape (hardly any), and I'm not all that excited by his offers and the fact that we flipped him from OM, and they don't really seem to be upset about it. If he was a flip from say, LSU, Bama or Auburn it would be a little easier to get excited.

I understand he is maybe underrated, and a pretty good back - I am not 'knocking' him at all. Just don't know that much about him. Who will he remind me of?

if bert didn't have a track record of finding damn good running backs I might be worried

I mean james white was a 3 star LINK

side note, this is probably silly, but I judge a recruit somewhat on what their profile pic looks like on the recruiting services. I prefer recruits to have a mean, intimidating look. like they got a chip on their shoulder and ready to prove their doubter wrong. I tend to get a bad vibe on recruits that look too happy, like they're just gonna clown around.

well Rawleigh's profile pic has him cheesing big.



that had me slightly perturbed till I just saw Montee Ball's profile pic.



not so perturbed now...

Yeah, just being lazy I guess - was going to let all of y'all who had ALREADY watched a lot of tape fill me in. Duplicated effort, reinventing the wheel, all of that lol.

By most accounts he is a solid kid so there's that. Evidently the staff has been on him for a year, so that should be enough 'vetting' for me I guess.

His offer list isn't amazing, but remember that he had been committed to Ole Miss since April 2013, when he was still a sophomore.

He "flipped" because Ole Miss got a very highly rated RB to commit to them recently. Ole Miss will have something ridiculous like 7 RBs on their roster and they are only going to take one RB this year, in all likelihood. That's why no one is upset.

Gragg was just on 99.5 up here in Fayetteville, when asked about his time catching passes from Ty Storey, Gragg said "It was good to get that bond started."

But then he caught himself and said "IF he's my quarterback in college."

Just thought it was interesting that he said the thing about bonding with Storey.

You were evidently doubly excited about this...

I wonder if Gragg plays with his own titties?

How long did he pause before he caught himself? I need this down to the millisecond, please. Also what was the barometric pressure, temperature, and humidity in the studio? Since the elevation of Fayetteville is significantly greater than in southeast Arkansas, there may have been insufficient oxygen for his level of conditioning, and he may have just been pausing to catch his breath.

He has some nice ones.


Actually in person, they didn't look as bad unless he's worked to get rid of them.

Probably going to try to get Storey to follow him to OM.

Do we really need to keep on talking shite about a 17 year old kid's body?

Our fanbase has this fierce devotion to Bert on this site. Cool.

Well Bert offered the kid. Bert don't care about no titties. Bert thinks he's a player. Offered him a scholarship. Wants to continue the Gragg legacy at the UofA.

So how about we not talk shite about players from the state of Arkansas, who have offers, who are not committed, and whose brother was a good player for us? Is that beyond some of your capabilities?

He's a f'ing kid. In 3 years he will not look anything like he looks now. He will have had the benefit of world-class strength and nutrition training that he's never had before. Maybe he ends up a OT. Maybe he turns those soft spots into chiseled steel. Who knows. Just lay off the kid. For all we know, he could have Gynecomastia.

Not so fast. Bert LOVES him some titties. In fact, he's got him some himself. And especially does his wife.

I'd be worried if he didn't love 'em.

And I agree, if Bert wants Gragg, good enough for me. Same with Rawleigh I was asking about, just wondering who y'all might compare him to. I heard he reminded someone of Denzall Evans, but I haven't seen enough of him to know what that means either.

Depends on what he wants him for.

Meaning if he is projected to be a Olinemen due to how much larger he is than his brother, while being slower, he projects to be a Olinemen, great/fine/whatever.

If he knows this and goes somewhere to "be a TE", fine/great/whatever.
