Otis said it Sunday and West has been hinting at it for a couple of days now.
I'm not up enough on recruiting, but apparently it will be pretty big news for Arkansas.
Anybody know who it could be?
I'd assume they are legit 4* guys.

Some seem to think one will be instate OL Andrew Chamblee

Seeing as its arkansas sports media reporting a “huge commitment” coming I’m expecting a long snapper place kicker combo

I’d guess Chamblee and Jointer.
ETA: I went to 247 after posting this and apparently Wiltfong has said the same thing.

I hate being this guy but if getting a low 4 star and mid 3 star both from in state to commit is "HUGE" for us we suck at recruiting.
That being said I think Jointer's ranking will go up a good bit over the next 9 months.

Otis said they were "program changing". I don't recall him ever saying anything like that in the past, but it is Otis.

I think this is Otis and West buttering up the recruits and fanbase because this is one of the few times they were allowed to have the scoop on anything. This was the proverbial bone tossed their way to keep them compliant.

The fact that our recruiting "insiders" are pumping up two in-state guys (neither of which are the highest rated in the state), one a borderline 4* and the other a mid 3*, is all you need to know about the state of our program.
I'm convinced Chad Morris was the only guy who really understood recruiting at Arkansas. Too bad he's a fricking football Fukushima.

You’re convinced? After 1 class that hasn’t even panned out yet?
A class Pittman basically matched in an F-Ed up year?
If Pittman manages top 25 classes, how is that any different than we’ve ever been?

You say outlandish shite all the time but this takes the cake.
Have you paid attention to the classes Morris signed after the ink dried and how those stars assigned to players have actually performed?

Chad knew to hit East Texas harder than anywhere else and he closed the most talented class we've had in 10+ yrs. It had like 10 or 11 4* prospects, including Catalon (a future 1st or 2nd Rd pick) and Burks (also a possible 1st or 2nd rounder, although his knees may drop him).
To say the man did not know where and how to recruit is just silly. He just had no idea how to run a program and what to do with the talent once it actually got to campus.
I'm just being objective here.

Only reason Chad got Catalon was Chad's sister is the Mansfield Legacy girls basketball coach where Jalen went to HS and Chad allowed his brother Kendall to transfer here from Southern. We all knew about Burks his entire HS career since 8th-9th grade.

I think you're right. The only way that makes sense is if Trevor Lawrence transfers to Arkansas and that might be program changing for Clemson. That clearly isn't happening.

Burks is from Arkansas and would have played for Jimmie Dykes coaching the team.
What does that have to do with East Texas?
Who else besides those two have even contributed at a significant level yet?
