Small state population with a relatively low AA demographic make up. We are Iowa without the corn fed linemen.
This is why if I were an Arkansas fan, I’d be real happy about Texas joining the conference. I’d be praying for Texas and Texas A&M as permanent/annual games too. Arkansas can and should recruit Texas well. Sure helps if you are playing the flagship schools every season again.
Arkansas should be able to compete for recruits against everyone except for the Horns and the Aggies. Sell SEC football to them while staying close to home and still playing games in the State of Texas each year.
This is literally how OU built a blue blood program with a similar demographic disadvantage. And Fayetteville is a hell of a lot nicer than Norman.

Why doesn't Ark recruit Texarkana? Right on the border and they produce like seven or eight 4 and 5 star players every year.

The converse was true when we left the SWC. We left our recruiting hotbeds behind which killed us early in the SEC transition.

This is a good take. When I was in school there and we were still in the SWC we had a lot of players (and non player students) who were from Texas. We need to maximize that and get as many players from Texas as we can.
