listening to espnU on XM and the hosts said that whoever ran the signing day ceremony announced his commitment to miami and everyone including cbs ran with it. apparently he went on IG live and said that his commitment to miami is false. xm hosts are speculating arkansas is very much in play

Can you imagine what a throat fracture would feel like??

Did some looking at what SEC teams are taking, and how many of each. Seems like there are the elite 3-4 then everyone else takes all the 3* they can get.


Alabama - 4
Georgia - 4
LSU - 4
Florida - 10
A$M - 7
Tennessee - 15
Ole Miss - 12
Missouri - 15
Arkansas - 18 (!!!!!!!)
Vandy - 17
Mississippi State - 14
Kentucky - 14
Auburn - 9
South Carolina - 9

With Art Briles recently resigning from Mount Vernon High School in Texas, perhaps Morris can land there next.

Apparently they flipped him to ole miss the other day, and now telling him he don’t have a scholarship. Wtf..

So no one else asks Nikki, Markevious Brown signed w/ Ole Miss.

Love the size Pitt is recruiting, we looked small on the field compared to the traditional top teams (bama, a&m, Ga, LSU) it was obvious on film (even with TN, AU, and FL)

DT ‘21 Williams 6’3 295, Ball 6’5 302
(i think they may keep wright small to play end some because of quickness)
DT ‘20 Boykin 6’4 314
DT ‘19 Miller 6’5 310 (Jackson and Carter undersized)
That’s an average 6’4 305

OL ‘21 Manual 6’8 310, Carson 6’6 285, Wells 6’5 306 Avg 6’6 300
OL ‘20 curry 6’5 320, Henderson 6’5 285, st John 6’5 359 (st John needs to be lower) Avg 6’5 321
That’s a total average 6’5.5 310

Other OL that came in previous years (besides Cunningham, Gatlin, Wagner who looked the part on height and weight) were very undersized coming in 6’2 -6-5 & 260-280
I wonder framewise, how much more can some of them carry and still be effective

Will there by any live coverage? Maybe SEC Network +

I was looking at all the players who signed today with SEC schools and look at how Arkansas’ class took shape today and all of ours signed and we are full.

However, ESPN and the SEC Network hasn’t really shifted to the early signing period be the main day.

I could see Arkansas in February being like naw we are good, we don’t need to rehash what we went over on December 16th....

If this a trend, media should shift. But it could be just another aspect of the pandemic with visits not as likely this year.

Ball talks decision with Rivals.

Has there been a D1 Power 5 School that didn't lose a single commitment on signing day that had more than 20 signees? Seriously... today was incredible.

While many may enjoy the drama, I for one was extremely grateful for the reduced amount of stress on signing day. What does this say of the type of person Sam Pittman and his staff are that when he took commitments (sight un-seen no less) to have young men that never wavered! (One QB exception but totally understandable with 2 QB's committed in the same class - even if he does move to TE)? Listening to the interview of most of these young men doesn't do anything but bring hope and excitement to what could be for the foundation of the future of Hog football.

Even more so, can you say enough about how he has guided this team through this COVID football season? While we were livid when the new schedule was announced, he never wavered in his commitment to improve and prove that Arkansas was no longer a "gimme" with the exception of Alabama. He could have cried foul like most of us did but he made his players believe that they would thrive through the adversity.

He never gave us a black eye (no pun intended) in the middle of the racial tension that was brewing across the country. He stood up for his players and never said or did anything that would make Arkansas look, well...like Arkansas!

While Sam may not be the flash he is certainly the substance. I would not have wished this season on any coach but he has handled it with incredible grace and excellence.

"he is a hero, not the hero we deserved but the hero we needed" - THANK YOU SAM PITTMAN FOR BELIEVING IN AND LEADING SO WELL!

As I do every year, I'm keeping track of all in-state FBS signees and adding them to my database. Here's a list of who I have so far... Am I missing anyone?

(Those highlighted in yellow have not officially been announced as signees by their respective schools.)

Signed with UTSA today...

They’ve been watching him for a while.

As it stands now, here are the SEC rankings:



and the national rankings: https://n.rivals.com/team_rankings/2021/all-teams/football

Arkansas's class finishes since 2012 (not including 2018, 2020): 34, 27, 29, 25, 30, 24, 20 AVERAGE: 27

When the dust settles I think the Hogs finish right around that average. Given the circumstances of this year, are you satisfied with the class or will happiness depend on signing day wins?
