Cedric Thornton Signs 4 yr/$18 million Deal with Dallas Cowboys

That's awesome! I didn't know anything about the guy until reading that. Thanks for posting.

I guess we can assume the assistant recruiting him at Arkansas was either Tim Horton or Steve Caldwell? Maybe Tracy Rocker? I don't remember if Caldwell came on w/ Petrino or was a hire in Hootie's last year. Nutt doesn't seem smart enough to have hired Caldwell though.


Thornton's story is one that should serve a reminder to coaches across the state and the ones on the hill. There's talent and athletes in Arkansas, you just have to treat the state like the diamond mine in Murfreesboro, you gotta get out there and dig and get your hands dirty and get down and look and look and look until you come up with something interesting.
