re: Is Oklahoma the new Nebraska?

Arkansas has never recruited Texas as good as Oklahoma.

Here is a list of the all-80s team.

Quinn Grovey from Oklahoma.
Tony Cherico from Missouri.
Brad Taylor from Arkansas.
Gary Anderson from Missouri.
Barry Foster from Texas.
James Shibest from Texas.
Donnie Centers from Texas.
Derek Russell from Arkansas.
Derek Holloway from New Jersey.
Billy Winston from Arkansas.
Theo Young from Arkansas.
Jim Mabry from Tennessee.
Steve Korte from Colorado.
Elbert Crawford from Arkansas.
Freddie Childress from Arkansas.
Alfred Mohammad from Arkansas.
Billy Ray Smith Jr. from Texas.
Wayne Martin from Arkansas.
Michael Shepherd from Louisiana.
Ron Faurot from Texas.
Rickey Williams from Arkansas.
Bert Zinamon from Arkansas.
Ravin Caldwell from Arkansas.
Danny Walters from Arkansas.
Greg Lasker from Missouri.
Steve Atwater from Missouri.
Richard Brothers from Arkansas.

The best players came from Arkansas during this decade. Either Arkansas high school football has been in a decline or coaches have not recruited the state as hard as they should.
