re: Arkansas football recruiting: Portal madness entering final stretch before dead period

Bastrop and of course Monroe have produced good players. Let's not forget about the powerhouses of Mer Rouge, Bonita, and Log Cabin though.

Time to put the new NIL to work

Curne would be a great get if we can make it happen

Absolutely. Arkansas is at a competitive disadvantage with in-state recruiting as it is. We can't lose in-state lineman that can start as true freshman at other SEC schools.

Josh Hoover QB from TCU in the portal. IU looks to be the leader for him early

I keep seeing clips where the experts think we take a QB in the portal to push KJ.

Hoover is an interesting convo. Appears to be the replacement for Mendoza at the moment though. Don't think he would come here to fight for a job.

New list of interesting portal guys:

Cam Ball TE 6-7 250 Miss. State 3*
Josh Hoover QB 6-2 200 TCU 4*
Brian Rowe WR 6-0 170 USCe 4*
Wendell Gregory DE 6-3 255 OSU 4*
Jayson Jenkins DL 6-6 276 FSU 3*
Chaz Coleman DE 6-4 246 PSU 5*
Hollywood Smothers RB 5-11 195 NC St. 4*
Carde Smith OT 6-5 300 CU 4*
Fred Gaskin S 5-10 198 USF 3*
Jarvis Lee CB 5-11 185 USF 3*
Adam Mohammed RB 6-0 220 Washington 4*
DJ Epps WR 6-1 185 Troy 3*
Michai Boireau DL 6-5 250 Fla 3*
Grayson Howard LB 6-4 236 Fla 3*
Carius Curne OT 6-5 320 LSU 4*
Devan Thompkins DL 6-5 290 USC 4*
Keith Brown LB 6-1 240 WSU 4*
Jay Crawford CB 5-11 179 AU 4*
Omar Graham Jr. LB 6-1 238 FSU 4*
Jaden Jones DE 6-5 257 FSU 3*
Ja'Bril Rawls CB 6-1 176 FSU 4*
Aidan Mizell WR 6-2 185 Fla 4*
Jaylen Thompson S 6-2 205 Memphis 3*

There's hundreds more but these are some that stand out just going down the list.
Bold are names I think would be a priority or gettable based on location or connections to staff.

I'm almost tempted to sue the last three head coaches for their utter failure to properly recruit Arkansas. If there is a 5 star recruit in state make someone break the bank to steal him away from us.

Do want.
