re: 2019 Arkansas Recruiting Thread **TR RB Trelon Smith Commits**

So when other head coaches signed these guys in multiple sports it was because "it wouldn't have mattered who the coach was". But for Chad its "its big world out there, its not 1980 anymore" and a myriad of other excuses.

That's correct, because I'm willing to give the guy a shot before I start wringing my hands and fretting about every little detail.

Nobody has signed anywhere. Hell, nobody has even committed. The internet says that we're in bad shape with a couple of instate guys. So what? Signing day is 8 months away. Wilkins can commit to OU but that doesn't mean anything until he signs the paper.

I'm willing to give the guy the benefit of the doubt until he has at least one full recruiting class under his belt. Let him build up some relationships, get some guys on campus, and see what happens. Outside of him wrecking a motorcycle with a blonde on it, he's not going anywhere for a few years regardless. Might as well try to get excited about the program for the first time in a few years for a change instead of getting the pitchforks out before he's ever coached a down for us.
