re: Why can't Arkansas recruit at a high level?

Please.

The only thing more inexplicable than our lack of on field success in the 2000s is Petrino's run the last 4 years with the leftovers of the SE.

I know one thing: I'd rather have a coaching problem than some unidentifiable - and seemingly uncurable - recruiting problem. We merely need to find someone who can perform his job at a proportionate level to the talent he has. In order for Arky to have success, the coach will have to always possess rare, demigod-like powers. It's the only way to compensate for the talent deficiency. Sort of like Texas Tech. Just another characteristic - along with patent insecurity - that you share with them.
