What an idiot. Northwest Arkansas has the hottest real estate market in the nation.

DVH is taking too much criticism. A source close to the DVH staff told me they were positive Kopp could have thrown 8 more pitches before his arm fell off.

The staff was pushing for the 5 pitch mark but DVH felt he had to pull him at 8 more for his safety.

Lay off DVH.

Are you implying an 18 year old is going to select their baseball program based off of the housing market? Now that is idiotic

Affects Arky greatly, in fact I hear all the recruits are coming to LSU. That's the word on the street. All that talent on Arky team only to get ousted in the supers. That's pretty bad when you loaded with talent within the whole roster

Glad to see overreaction Monday is in full swing on tRant and the Hog board.

Will Arkansas take a hit on their recruiting?


Yes it’s going to be you see we didn’t have a bunch of starting pitchers? Would you like to be one?

Oh no? You would not like to start in the best league in one of the top facilities?

Maybe you aren’t D1 in the first place.

It shall be terrible.

I agree. Swamp gators, murders and rape cover ups is what people flock to.

If that's your logic then how has LSU built such a great program in Scenic Baton Rouge
Have you ever actually been to Baton Rouge?

It's a large metropolitan city, not a quaint little college town.

Every large city has "Bad" areas to avoid. BR is no exception.

The "Bad" areas are mostly North of Florida Blvd, which is nowhere near LSU.

Recruits/Athletes don't really care about the town, since they'll be spending 99% of their time on campus and in the immediate vicinity.

It wasn't like he was just an average star player. If anything, that run and exposure will have kids sprinting to Fayetteville.

Dumb over-reaction.

This team could have easily been a 2nd seed in the tourney. I have no idea how we won the SEC and SECT to be honest. Looking collectively at both hitting and pitching we have far fewer potential MLB players than most seasons I can remember.

None of that mattered because all this team did was win, but it wasn't due to pure talent. Just a solid group of really good college baseball players.

To say we "collapsed" is over reaction.

DVH has the quickest hook in CBB. He doesn't have a history of over-working pitchers.

If the only factor is location, there is not a person with even a single brain cell that would choose to live in Baton Rouge, LA instead of Fayetteville, AR.
