We're talking 1990 Western Sizzlin here and not 2015.

Does he run a buffet? If not I'm not sure if this thread or Bert is interested anymore.

No update, but I did check his Rival's profile yesterday.
He lists only 3 schools as 'high interest' - us, aTm and Georgia.

I've been thinking aTm for a long while, he's made a boatload of unofficials there. But if their season goes to crap now and ours goes up, maybe there's a chance...

I think he's actually thought to be a Georgia lean right now.

I really think this "success in season leads to success post season (recruiting)" logic is extremely flawed...

Arkansas best recruiting classes have came after the shittiest of years, bad classes following successful years.

The belief of early playing time and/or the belief that "X" coach increases my chance to get to the NFL/NBA/MLB etc has more of an effect to sway a decision of a recruit than the w/l record each year.

UGA runningbacks get all the hype in the media, no matter how many of those end up being busts in the NFL...

Crowell, Moreno and Gurley are nowhere near busts

I still believe it helps our chances if we finish strong.

Until they publicly eliminate us, I guess we are still in it for Kyle Porter, Pennamon, and White as well.

Color me not shocked.

As far as RB's go

White will go to LSU
Pennamon will end up at Bama
Porter will go to Texas
Whaley will end up at Georgia

Bert better work on his crutin skills and lock down something decent.

sadly I think the loss to toledo was the straw that broke him. he was going to commit if he liked what he saw at that game.. and we lost. then suddenly he isn't committing til Oct 30th. I knew as soon as that happened we got eliminated or he was buying time to convince himself to go elsewhere. he was hog bound til he watched that loss.

we attempted 53 passes that game, so the offense probably wasn't the problem

or the fact that we couldn't run the ball either or score even throwing it 53 times. I'm thinking the fact that tcu is #5 and undefeated and us being beat by toledo has everything to do with him not coming. he knew we wanted to throw it more but throwing it more and not scoring is just as shitty as not throwing it at all. that loss lost graham I am sure of it.

Just to clarify, Graham was at the Texas Tech game and not the Toledo game. Not that it really matters either way because we lost both.

I could have sworn it was toledo cause I remember thinking god why does he have to see WMS..


edit: I was correct he took an unofficial to toledo. has family in LR. took an official to tech. sucks we missed on this kid but I want penn and Carmouche more. hopefully we get another tackle over a WR, but would have liked isiah

Can't blame him...We will never get 4* and higher WR's unless they come from the state
