NWA has ruled high school football in the state since 1988, but my point had nothing to do with "prospects" and I don't think I need to explain why Little Rock has more talent.

Just taking this year into account, you have Hammonds from LR and the other 3 Arkansas commits are scattered around the Southern part of the state, which has always produced better talent then we admit. Tobia Enlow is a walk-on receiver from NLR and we had the walk-on LB from Benton commit today. Taking all of them into account with the 2 LR players Mizzou just flipped, where else in Arkansas produced that much talent?

Lots of past champions would argue against that.
Oh, and there are more classifications than 7A.
I think Pine Bluff has won what, 3 6A championships in a row?

What? Not even close man.

Pine Bluff has won titles in 1990, 93, 94, 95, 2014, & 2015
El Dorado has won titles in 2009, 10, 11, & 13
Texarkana has won titles in 2006 & 2007
Then you have Little Rock Central who leads the state with 31 state championships.

We also aren't counting all of the state titles that have been won in Rison, Warren, Nashville, Junction City, or the run Barton went on in the 1990's.

The NWA schools have become more successful with the decreased number of schools they can play against. Since the inception of 7A football, where all they have to do is beat each other, then play a down trodden Little Rock school district school, or play one of their conference foes for a state title.
