Hoping Bert can have some real talk with Fulton's dad. Why send your kid to a place when the head coach is on his last leg. What if their next hire is a Sumlin type coach who treats defense like an afterthought? Odds are that by the time Fulton sees the field it will be under a different regime.

This kid will be drafted in 3 years...He could easily play for us next season. Jennings/Smith is a pretty good coaching combo if you ask me...We just need some better talent. It's geting better though

guess he's not visiting florida

if he indeed doesn't visit florida, then it looks like a lsu vs arky race

with the odds being 95% lsu to 5% arky

scanning @olinepride's twitter and it's pretty cool seeing all these former players giving him props.

wonder if they had to be coaxed to do that or they just did it naturally

I've been wondering the same thing. It is very cool but it does almost seem staged.

So, how does that go down?

I dunno, it does sound questionable if he asked them to do it. But sending them a message saying 'hey I'd appreciate it if you said some nice things that would help with recruiting' doesn't sound unreasonable.

Kinda like college students asking for a letter of recommendation from professors.

Basically. It' would really be no different than companies staging positive reviews on things like glassdoor and yelp or people asking for recommendations for their profile on LinkedIn.

Looks like Chris Daniels is out… mark another on off the list Johnny!

Per Davenport-

Apparently A&M did a school/in home visit tonight and he will not be visiting Ark for official at all, going to A&M this weekend. For the life of me I don't know Bert drug his feet on this kid for so long.

General consensus was that he didn't have the grades/test score until recently. That would explain why others are jumping in late as well.

I still don't think we are out of it. Hasn't he been on our campus a bunch already?

Eternal optimist RD said we were out of it with Daniels, so not looking good.

As we know, with recruiting nothing is 100% until they sign on the dotted line though.

So I'll say 99.9% we don't sign him.

He was never going to visit us. He had two visits scheduled after we offered him and cancelled neither.

I mean he's visited Arkansas numerous times.

If I were in his shoes I'd take paid visits to places I hadn't been or hadn't been very much.
