It should also be noted that the following players were rated a 4 star by other sites (247 and/or ESPN) but only a 5.6 or lower here.)

WR Kolian Jackson
OL Dalton Wagner
OL Ricky Stromberg
OL Marcus Henderson
DE/LB Jashaud Stewart
RB Javion Hunt
QB Lucas Coley
DE Blayne Tolli
DE Dorian Gerald
WR Devion Warren

Kolian, Stromberg, and Henderson were considered 4 stars by both competing sites.

It should also be noted that the following 5.7 stars were 4 stars on at least on of the other sites

Zach Williams
Malik Hornsby
Darin Turner
AJ Green
Terry Wells

So this team, at this point, stands to come to the fall with :

22 Rivals four stars players
37 players who were four stars by at least one of the big three recruiting services
40 players who rivals ranked 5.7 or higher

So what does this all mean? It means the talent is there to win and win now.

There are....

3 QBs rated a four star by at least one service
8 WRs rated a four star by at least one service
3 RBs rated a four star by at least one service
1 TE rated a four star by at least one service
6 OL rated a four star by at least one service
6 DEs rated a four star by at least one service
O DTs rated a four star by at least one service
3 LBs rated a four star by at least one service
7 DBs rated a four star by at least one service

At DT....you have 5 that are rated 5.7. Still it is concerning that there is not a single four star among the group.

I personally thought it was interesting so I made the list.

I noticed a trend with Pittman’s offseason moves, so I wrote about it...

Brandon Kimble isn't on the basketball team anymore. He's no longer listed on the team website, either.

STORY: https://arkansas.rivals.com/news/report-pittman-to-hire-former-assistant-to-fill-te-coach-role

Seems like a perfectly acceptable move. Grad assistant under Pitt, hired by Tulane then Southern Miss.
“In his first signing class for the Green Wave, he signed six three-star offensive lineman. Prior to that signing, Tulane did not possess one offensive lineman rated three stars or higher on its then current roster.”

Lots of former linemen out there coaching TEs these days

I was asked to Photoshop Sam Pittman riding Bret Bielema.

....and here we are:

The Rebels are bringing a top-20 defense and red-hot Devontae Shuler to Fayetteville tonight. My preview:

Someday when i become MOD, the standard will be a bit different....

I know a lot of people were questioning Connor's minutes on Saturday, Muss addressed it:

There's a new most likely record for the Hogs in SEC play...

@georgemarsh sighting finally on the Bert. Miss you around these parts lately, guy.

Let's shame these Tad Pad losers into submission.

about Kobe's death a year ago? How'd you react?

I was playing golf, not paying attention to my phone, checked it after I got to the parking lot, and started seeing texts from friends and fam (they all knew Kobe was my favorite player). After checking twitter and verifying, I sat in my car for about 30 mins, it took everything I had to just drive home and then it just got worse as more news came in about Gigi and the others. Obviously incredibly sad for all involved. Not to be morbid, just curious what yall's experience was with it. I imagine a lot of folks had some tough conversations with their young ones.

Here’s everything Yurachek had to say about Arkansas’ financial situation when he met with the media last Thursday...

you've ever seen at a Razorback tailgate?

One year at WMS, I watched a guy in an adjacent tent lean against a BBQ. Problem was, he was so drunk it was a miracle he was conscious much less standing. As he's leaning with his arm on the hot surface of the BBQ, it finally dawns on him several seconds later (which in getting seared by a BBQ time is hours) and he lets out a horrific scream. He then withdraws his hand but looks completely content. It stands out for me because it was pretty gnarly (and he had to get medical attention), but also because his friends were yelling at him the whole time, "MICHAEL! MICHAEL! STOP, MICHAEL!" but drunk Mike was completely unflappable.

Same HS as our friend Mr. Horsnby. Kid blew up:

Same school as 4-star DB target Darius Snow --> Smith and Chad are in Dallas today

After making it in as No. 250 last cycle, some new 250 members pushed Raheim Sanders back out of it. Loses Arkansas like 3 bonus points.
KeTron saw no movement and is still No. 191

I keep waiting for this to pop up to no avail.

The Razorbacks are rapidly approaching the 300 offer mark for the 2022 class so I figured I'd break it down by school in the SEC:

Alabama - 158
Arkansas - 296
Auburn - 171
Florida - 195
Georgia - 160
Kentucky - 243
LSU - 175
Missouri - 120
Miss St - 160
Ole Miss - 234
South Carolina - 166
Tennessee - 309
Texas A&M - 150
Vanderbilt - 101

I'm probably one of the more consistent offer posters among the different SEC sites but even so, Arkansas is still dishing out more offers than anyone else*. *Whoever Tennessee hires is going to have fun sorting through all 309 of Pruitt's

The ladies lost 75-73 on a shot with .9 seconds left, they can’t catch a break with buzzer beater shots this year. They fly out to where they play day of game. They lack height and inside scoring but you have three 6’+ signees coming in.

Auburn over Missouri
Tennessee over Mississippi State
Alabama over Kentucky
LSU over Texas A&M
Arkansas over Ole Miss
Florida over Vanderbilt
South Carolina over Georgia

He's a big Ole Miss fan and just got that offer too

Havent seen it posted yet, but he was drafted by Cleveland in the rule 5 draft. For those that dont know, it means he must remain on the 25 man roster for Cleveland this season, or be offered back to the Yankees. Hopefully he can make a good impression and stick for a long career
