More manipulating the rankings by On3.

On3 has dropped Lorando Johnson, Armstrong and Broden after being on campus.

They were our top 2 ranked commits (Johnson and Armstrong) with us adding Gumms and Thomas so in order to drop us down the team rankings from #4 to #6 they move them down.

Johnson was 91 4-star and now is 90 4-star. From #41 to #121 overall.

Armstrong was 91 4-star and now is 89 3-star. From #67 to #154 overall behind Criswell at #153.

Broden was 88 3-star at #184 overall and now isn't in the top 300 as 88 3-star.

Morgan dropped from #177 to #264 as well.

Grier dropped from #214 to #249.

They don’t get punished. NFL scouts could give a rats arse what their ON3 ranking was. Anyone who is legit knows the game being played,

Seems we've had a rush of commitments.

Arkansas added a late piece to its 2023 class on Sunday with the commitment of wide receiver Dazmin James of Clayton (N.C.).

James, 6-2, 185, was originally expected to take the junior college route but added new scholarship offers from North Carolina, Liberty and Arkansas – in addition to track and field offers from South Carolina and NC State – over the last four days. James announced his offer from the Hogs on Friday, and his father confirmed his commitment early Monday morning after tweeting the news Sunday evening.

James recently won state championships in the 100-meter (10.46) and 200-meter (21.06), and reports a blistering forty-yard time of 4.29.

As a senior last fall, James posted 43 receptions for 601 yards and five touchdowns while adding another 307 yards and four scores on 27 rushing attempts.

According to 247Sports, James is a highly-rated three-star athlete with an overall grade of 89, making him a borderline four-star who ranks 59th among all wide receivers and 16th overall in North Carolina’s 2023 class.

The industry-generated 247Sports Composite rankings have James as the No. 72 wide receiver in the nation and the No. 20 overall prospect in his home state.

With the addition of James, Arkansas has now reached its limit of 85 scholarships entering the 2023 season. James gives the Razorbacks a total of nine scholarship wide receivers, with only four in the group owning game experience with the Hogs.

AJ Brathwaite removed as he quit the team at beginning of fall camp.

So Hornsby transferred to Texas State, only to sit behind fellow SEC alum, TJ Finley

so we sent a few to Neon at Colorado...

and helped ole Barry out at UNLV. I wonder if Pittman will used UNLV as a place to help kids who need to transfer but have some talent.

Or if Barry just had that much pull... Nahh! lol
