This is the kind of comment that gets me fired up about O'Grady.

@gsbordelon: Watched CJ O'Grady go over four Rogers Heritage defenders and bring down a one-handed TD catch last year. The kid's a monster.

Gerry Hamilton @HamiltonESPN
A few hours in the #ESPN300 & @OhMyGrady15 has committed to #arkansas. Huge for #WooPig. Vertical pass catching TE
#Arkansas adds to top 25 RecrutingNation class with #ESPN300 No. 160 @OhMyGrady15. Now 3 #ESPN300's



ESPN had just bumped him to the #160 player overall and #1 player in Arkansas earlier today.

I'm still not convinced that we can land KJ but the staff seems to be making up a ton of ground on him. He's spoken pretty highly of them recently and I think him coming up to the entire 3 day camp speaks volumes. There was absolutely no reason at all that he needed to show for more than a couple of hours on a single day.

I think the entire offensive staff going to his spring game made a pretty large impression on him.

Rivals is going to bump him up also I believe Danny West said "big moves" where coming to the Arkansas rankings hinting towards O'grady moving up.

I have to think he will eventually get bumped up significantly in all the rankings once people actually watch his taper and/or see him in person. The kid is legit. Him and Jamario Bell are both two of the better athletes to come out of the state in a long time.

With the TE talent coming in and Henry I highly doubt Gragg commits.

This. He should be a top 5 WR in the country. I know I shouldn't but I'll melt if we lose him.

We really, really need some legit WRs to complete our offense. Our QB, OL, RB, and TE recruiting has been really good.

Here's what you need to know about Gragg he's on the record saying he thinks he has the best hands in the state.


Now go find me any video of him making circus catches and dominating secondaries.


By the time Feb gets here he may be bumped down to a 3 star.

His offer list is too long to ever get bumped down to a 3*. I just wouldn't be surprised if O'Grady vaults over him on all the sites by signing day. ESPN was the first to pull the trigger on that one today.

O'Grady has never played with his hand in the dirt at Fayettevie which was our staffs only concern.



How does that compare to say, Hunter Henry?

Henry didn't either which I think is favorable towards the developmental skills that our staff will be able to provide O'Grady.

They were able to point out direct evidence from this past season of a TE they took from being a big WR in high school who never played on the line to a 1st team FR All-American on a smash mouth, power run team.

The strides that Henry made in his blocking ability from week 1 to week 12 were tremendous. I have no doubt that O'Grady can make the same leap as well.

Maybe Dumas puts together a plan to make him shine, but that program is pretty terrible. The half arse research the recruiting guys do will look at his team's bad record, pedestrian stats, and his getting outclassed at the opening in a few weeks and I think his stock drops like a rock.

Now maybe he really impresses in Oregon and I look like a butthurt Homer, but IDGAF, Compared to our other TE commits Gragg doesn't seem to fit the Bert mold, but I still think he's got crazy potential on the line, just not sure he'll work hard enough to reach close to it.
