The problem at this point is that we've been bad for long enough that any recruit only knows us as a really bad team.
It matters. A lot. And it isn't going to be that easy to turn around. This is why schools like LSU, FL and BAMA jump in and fix coaching problems QUICKLY. After six full years of crap play you are just a crap team to any kid you're trying to recruit.
They were 11 at best during Petrino's final year. Let that sink in.

So they didn't pay attention to (or remember) football at all when they were 11-13 years old? Or they haven't done any research or watched current broadcasts where UofA's recent and distant history is mentioned often? I can believe that SOME may not know that Arkansas has had some success in the past, but I bet it's more rare than you think. Especially if they grew up in the state, near its borders, or a long term fan of an SEC rival.
I don't know about you, but that was right around the age I really started following football and STILL view the teams that were good around that time in a different light and give them the benefit of the doubt that some other programs don't. We're lucky the BP years happened and it wasn't 4 years of mediocrity, then you may have a point.
