re: Arkansas's lack of recruiting

Okay. Well add all the TEs to figures, and it doesn’t really impact the overall metrics. Arkansas is still desperately far from where it needs to be.

No argument from me, but any team in the nation would be in close the same shape if...
1. They had a Petrinoesque wreck of defining nature.
2. They had a Smile interm for a season.
3. They had a CBB, Big 10 style of football philosophy change, with such a crappy coaching and strength and conditioning program.
4. A power struggle between the AD and PTB constantly.
5. a weak recruiting staff with such a lack of local talent.

It has been difficult as anything I have seen through the years for a non cheating program.

I do believe we can, and will be competitive again but I am not sure how long it will take, Recruiting is the defining equation at this time. If Morris is the O Guru we believe him to be, and he has the staff we seem to have, the facilities are definitely up to snuff... so... Recruiting must improve to fix the rest!
