Obviously Hunter pulled a Kiffin again and completely whiffed on Golesch.

That ranks up there with his losses are for cause when firing.

Obviously this is a one way street from each perspective of AD and HC, as to be expected.

Sure but the linemen being 6'0 tall causing him to land at the G5 or lower level remains and the number of these dudes who prove they can play despite their size is few and far between.

Like wise the guys who have the physical size but dont have the skills, IQ, or want too needed to play the positions exist but you normally find these guys on the 3rd string or scout teams in the G4.

Sam was good and bad at this. His o linemen finds in the G4 were good finds for the most part. The 3rd string UGA defensive signings were not.

Depends on the position.

Then it depends on the context. He was apparently first to offer every player who could compete at the P4 level in Arkansas and surrounding the Memphis area. So former Memphis recruit/target is kinda watered down and doesn't mean much as it means nothing to throw out 60 offers knowing 40 of them are going to skip over you for the P4 offer that came later.

As far as position every team in the country could have taken their RB roster over the past decade or so.

WRs have continually shown they can make the step up to the P4 and compete as upperclassmen, same with QBs and several secondary players.

The only positions that do not translate as well is offensive line and defensive line.
Merry Christmas and mind your business.

Upgrading the stadium lights only makes sense if you are planning on playing night games.

Arkansas played zero night games at home this past season.
Silverdick doesn't walk around with a smug arrogance and false sense of accomplishment like Merlin's does.
When the AD bitches about a lack of revenue to share it is only fair to point out obvious revenue stream losses.

Shitty product
Giving away home games
Stadium naming rights

Those obviously stand out.
It's about revenue, that's why we are also entering year three of the naming rights of the stadium to go unsold.
I prefer the dennis system, it works well.

Kinda hoping Mateos is retained, Arkansas guy and one of the top grades for oline this year with less talent than most of the sec.

The line really carried the offense this year.
It's because initial reaction was/is Hunter made the worst hire in the cycle for the second time in a row for him and third time in a row for the program.

Time will tell, but you have media ranking Silverfield last behind Stein and Golding. Stanford is the only P4 program to make a worst hire than Hunter so for this cycle according to them.

This is why they were protesting, Hunter hired the one guy glossed over for 60 days as being an unserious candidate and the same guy least wanted by the majority of the fanbase with names reportedly available.

This works if you are the smartest guy in the room, Hunter is rarely in a room by himself for this to be true.
That had to do more with Hunter and being a fricktard that he is.

You have the locks media spending four days hyping up a guy who signs with Auburn in the search the follows with the guy signing with Ole Miss.

Most disturbing phrase used in the presser was "legitimate NIL" translation is Hunter thinks the NCAA is going to have a control over and say what is legitimate or not.

This is the problem every team in the SEC has vacated wins somewhere in their history while Arkansas continues to follow the rules, this doesn't work when you are the only one doing so.

Second topic over looked was the university had to reallocate funds to meet maximum revenue share total for football. Meaning they were not at the maximum before hand, sucks but all the Olympic sports will have to cut back just like they do every where else in the P4 conferences. Glossed over was that the reallocation occurred after donations were secured to make up the short fall elsewhere.

These two topics demonstrated everything that is wrong with the program, the mindset behind it and why you have students protesting when a hire is made outside of the home run hire that didn't exist in this cycle.

Yes and the camera angle showed the swap.

Yes and I haven't followed recruiting or signing days since, until today.

It somehow topped Trooper Taylor and Gus falling over each other in celebration as an auburn signing was shown on a 28" TV in a hallway.
It's a pet peeve us his he's talked about it several times.

On the other hand that is the best team in the state of Kentucky.

Just glad he didn't fake repell from the ceiling while some generic 90s dance techno was blairing for his first NSD.
You have to wonder, when Lane was stranded on the tarmac by SC after he abandoned Tennessee, if he was thinking in that moment he would ever again have a regionally coveted job.
