re: 2016 Arkansas Recruiting Thread - Football & Basketball Commits

Wally tells stories...about 5-10 years after it happened and said coach isn't there any more.

Why does it seem like at least 90% of LSU fans are complete assholes. never seen a fan base filled with so much vitriol.

That mudbone thread on the LSU RB has taken a humorous turn over the last 3 pages.

Whatever you say buddy. I think it's fricked up people were talking shite to muddbone like a bunch of bitches when they thought his son wasn't coming here now they're acting all buddy buddy when they think he is.

A bunch of fake bullshite just like you. Don't even know why I'm responding to you, a known troll and internet gangster.

I honestly think KF wants to come to Arkansas. Why else would his dad mention that he doesn't think Arkansas is a good fit to a Florida reporter? He's obviously making sure his opinion of Arkansas is made very public.

might be part of it

bet it also has to do with not wanting to see his son help beat his favorite team every year and possibly keep LSU out of the championship game. He'd rather him go to Florida where they can't keep LSU out of the championship game and LSU has a better chance of beating them

i'm becoming convinced this is correct. just read the gatorcountry interview, and dude's quotes were far more anti-arkansas than pro-florida.

i also decided to look at his posting history, he's been saying arkansas has no chance for 6 months now and kind of being a dick about it. "keep wishing", "never a threat", and this great nugget

Your staff and every staff in the country . But I can tell you this that's one school He may. Visit but I promise he WILL NOT SIGN WITh I've spoken

he seems to have an anti-arkansas agenda.

but of course there is this quote of his after arkansas took lsu to the woodshed:

quote:

---

That was hard to watch. All that talent maybe they need better coaching than recruiters

then a week later:

quote:

---

i never said he was a lock . what i did say is that he's not going to arkansas . i said book it so get your facts straight

---

all anti-arkansas, all the time. whether asked or not.

I'm excited for Muddbone's participation in next seasons LSU coaching offseason drama. There will probably be inside the locker room information passed out like candy on here which should fan the flames quite nicely.

Assuming that muddbone is KF's actual father, I've cooled on KF as a recruit. No fault of his, but a father that involved in online message boards just drips of drama.

Maybe it's sour grapes since we obviously aren't getting him anyway, but I really don't think we need a resentful parent who doesn't like our program involved.

Best of luck to KF, and I hope for the whole family's sake that his dad takes a hiatus from the message boards during his time as a player. For our sake, though, it should be highly entertaining

It doesn't affect my interest in KF at all. Alex Collins's mother took his letter of intent away from him on signing day because she didn't want him to leave Florida and go to Arkansas. He signed here anyway because he knew it was where he wanted to go, and just look how it turned out for him. Three 1000 yard seasons as a freshman, sophomore, and junior. Only three other RBs have done that in SEC history--Herschel Walker and Darren McFadden. He had a chance to come back and be the first to run for 1000 yards in four seasons, but chose instead to go to the NFL where he's going to become a wealthy man and chase his dreams.

His mother was apparently anti-Arkansas too, but he became one of our most beloved Razorbacks of all time, and he clearly enjoyed his time here. It worked out great for him and for us.

If Fulton chooses to come to Arkansas, which seems unlikely but still possible, then I think he'll have a great career, his father will learn to accept it, and his entire family will come around to loving Arkansas, at least as long as Fulton is playing there. When he gets drafted into the NFL his dad can go back to disliking Arkansas if he wants.

edit: another similarity between Fulton and Collins is that Fulton has an extremely good chance of coming in and playing his freshman season. He could possibly even start, but he'll almost certainly play in nickel or dime, and as a backup in base defense.

+1. a little disappointing to see what his dad is saying on here, but not going to hold that against the kid.

You know, I have too. KF seems to be a good kid, or at least not a drama king. I wish him well whatever he decides. Unless it's playing against us of course.

At this point, it's not going to bother me if he signs with us or not. Would love to have him, but not sure if his dad could live with it. In that case, KF needs to put family first. Even if it means sacrificing what he really wanted to do.

I am kind of excited about Putu, I think we may have gotten a real steal there. I also think Ryan Pulley is going to have a breakout year and turn into what his potential is. (Yes, I remember him getting abused last year, but hopefully he will learn and be motivated by that.)
