re: 2019 Arkansas Recruiting Thread **TR RB Trelon Smith Commits**

lol, he looks mighty odd...

I am not sure if he sucks, or not. I was surprised that KARK replaced Dick with Otis. Dick wasn't great, but dang!


We will see what all of his hoopla is about in the coming months. Is he great, or just sucks so bad.

I had to laugh the first time I saw him on the pig trail

Maybe I should get drunk and make my own rating system using pizza toppings.

I'm sure Grit doesn't do more than that

Wasn't he at 247? How did he end up at Hogville?

how does anyone end up on hogville.... a long history disappointing personal and career choices

I guess I haven't followed recruiting for long enough, but why does Otis get so much shite on here? He's not as good as Danny West, but he's worlds better than the Rivals girl. Wasn't he at 247? How did he end up at Hogville?

No way is he better than her these days. The recruiting game has passed him by and he essentially got fired at 247 so they could hire Danny and Trey to replace him. He may have been good many years ago but he doesn’t have the drive today to keep up with the content that his younger competition pumps out. He was getting lapped the last few years at 247 when it came to information.

Dude was light years behind years ago Chesh.


Now he’s landed on Tardville, the ultimate slap in the face.

I could see that being the case. His competition does push a lot more useful content especially regarding the big names, but I get annoyed at Nikki sometimes for several reasons. She seems to think that volume of content is an indicator of her value so she publishes fifteen stories a day and twelve of them are inane. She tends to jump the gun on commits which actually may be an attempt to troll the board, and her content just isn't as good as what's behind Danny's paywall or even RD's. For instance, after the BBQ, she posts "Treylon and Hudson said their visit was cool" or something to that extent. Meanwhile, Danny and Dudley post actual quotes from those guys with their interpretation of the comments. I'm sure some of it is inexperience and lack of connections people who have covered the Hogs for a decade(s) have.

I had to watch one of Grits recruiting updates just to see how painful it was to watch. I now feel bad for making fun of him so much. It was like watching this guy

Rivals Update

Comical Burks isn’t at the top but more precedence on committing to OU and going to their camps.

Does anyone else think this shite is a joke besides me???

Nationally they’ve been a joke last 10 years IMO.

Got incrementally worse as 247 and other sites hired staff away.

Danny’s info and Trey covering the team was the only thing worth it on that site.
