doin well last I heard. The "porn" was a single private video for cash to to enter the Ms Delaware pageant, she was an 18 foster child with no resources and made a bad decision/didnt read the fine print on the contract.

She actually turned down a $200k contract for a set of scenes after everything went viral. Porn career was never the motivation.




I am glad to hear that.

I made a joke about her but I didn't want her to do poorly for the rest of her life. She was a bit flakey while she was here from what I understand but it might be that was a good thing.

She got it out of her system, the notoriety wore off, and then she went on to do well someplace else. I wish her the best of luck.

We have all done something we don't want to be front page news after all.

Mitch Mustain was a complete and utter failure for Arkansas and USC. He was the #9 player in his class.




Meant only in the nicest way... but he went 8-0 as a starter at Arkansas his only year here.

If going undefeated as a starter is utter failure than... to paraphrase my favorite line... may the Lord smite Arkansas with it, and may we never recover.

Darren McFadden, Felix Jones and Peyton Hillis went 8-0. Look up Mitch's stats, they were awful. I dont hate mitch like alot of hog fans do, but Casey Dick would have had the same exact record as Mitch did.

Samuel was switched back and forth from LB to RB/FB and greatly misused by the coaching staff.
Sanks was a self-made bust because he couldn't stay off the weed.


Why do you think Samuel was switched back and forth? Because he was an All American at both?

He was a looks like tarzan kid. High school (underaged) phenom. He was 17 when he started at UGA. He never was able to translate his athleticism to the football field except for 2 games (south Carolina as a freshman and Florida as a senior).

Definition of a bust recruit.
DGD. But as far as recruiting expectations, bust.

Thompson is more of a bust because he was #1 in the entire recruiting class at a position of need.

But he didn't. Casey Dick got subbed in because we wanted a more experienced QB (and Nutt had a hard on for hating Gus and company by then). And his performance was not stellar either.

Mustain might not have been setting the world on fire but we were winning with him until Nutt and Malzahn settled into their epic pissing match.

Would Mustain have won those games that Dick did not down the stretch? Well we won't know because he didn't get the chance. I still won't heap that much scorn and abuse on a gent who went undefeated as our starter.

Arkansas has nationally ranked recruits who never saw the field. I can't really call a guy who went 8-0 as one of our biggest busts.
