No argument there. At Oline, probable receiver, another RB or two, at Linebacker, hello practically the whole defense.
It baffled me for years that Beilema was okay with having almost zero ties to Texas high schools, and how the Arkansas fan base was okay with the lack of Texas recruiting. For that matter, the lack of Tulsa recruiting. With Chad Morris you've gotten one small piece of addressing the DFW area recruiting puzzle, but it's a lot more difficult to build those relationships than one might think. Mike Sherman had to undo a lot of the damage Fran did with high school coaches, and we are in the fricking State of Texas.
If I'm Arkansas I absolutely beg for Oklahoma State or OU to play a series to break in to the Tulsa recruiting. That could help Arkansas just as much as Texas recruiting. Arkansas should get a kid from Jenks and Union almost every single year just to solidify the pipeline.

2 points:
1) Arkansas, prior to Bert, always recruited Texas hard. After the move to the SEC, our pipeline diminished. Every coach we've had since, with the exception of Bert, was able to reestablish some porion of a pipeline.
2) Bert also seemed to completely ignore east Oklahoma. We have always landed top recruits from that area.
Nothing to really be baffled about. Bert tried to ignore our traditional recruiting areas and recruit Florida instead. Only place Bert expanded our footprint was in Louisiana and it's not enough for LSU to notice.
