Football Status of Arkansas-A&M in AT&T

N
From A&M:
Texas A&M is still contracted to play Arkansas at Arlington's AT&T Stadium. If, for example, the SEC moved to a conference-only model, that might leave the Aggies with just three home games. Could that venue change?

"We would need that game on campus. You guys know my philosophy on that game long-term. To me, that game should be on campus anyway. But if something were to happen this year, we'd do everything we can to move that game to our campus. This year it's our home game.

"That dialogue has already started with (Arkansas AD) Hunter (Yurachek). But because things are so fluid, you don't have to make any decisions right now. You put things on the table, you talk about what-if scenarios. The rabbit holes you can go down are pretty fascinating. You just have to think of everything and that's what we've been trying to do."

Not sure that would make much of a difference this year. They already have to go down to Texas and Kyle Field will have reduced capacity to limit the home field factor

FB Recruiting Rating and Rankings

N
Got an update from Rivals and they don't plan on updating 2021 rankings or creating 2022 rankings until we know for sure there's a season and at that point, they plan to update them mid-way through.

Some 2022s have received ratings if their tape has come up to the top of the list but I think in general they're waiting for more tape and a chance to see kids in person since first ratings usually come in during the spring when we have camps and the analysts can get out to off-season and preseason practices.

After seeing how many responded to 247 doing multiple updates to rankings despite there being no new info out there, Rivals wants to wait until there's some substantial basis for an update.

FB Recruiting HawgBeat Big Board Notebook: July 6, 2020

N
https://arkansas.rivals.com/news/hawgbeat-2021-target-big-board

A little offer numbers update: Arkansas has offered 270 prospects with just 107 left undecided through today, July 6. The Hogs have roughly 10 more spots to fill so i'm sure more offers will go out. 57 of the targets left are 3-stars currently, only 38 4-stars.

There were a ton of commitments this weekend, luckily Arkansas kicked it off with a bang landing LB Chris Paul on Thursday, so there was less sting losing QB Landon Rogers on the 4th. Due to the decommitment and tons of schools gaining new ones, the class has fallen back down to No.40 in the nation.

Speaking of commitments, Frisco DB Chase Lowery is making an announcement on Thursday and the commits certainly think he'll be picking the Hogs over Texas Tech, Purdue, SDSU, Michigan State, Oregon State, Pitt and Memphis.

ICYMI, Arkansas made the top five for 4-star IMG corner Markevious Brown who says he really loves his relationship with Coach Carter. Because of visits, I think Miami holds the lead but I think he'll wait it out until he can take more visits to make a decision.

The Hogs made the top 12 for a 2022 DB target yesterday too. A very stacked list for Bobby Taylor out of Katy.

Off the board: WR Ahmari Huggins-Bruce to Louisville, LB Martez Thrower to Kentucky and RB Caleb Berry to Washington.
On the board: I added Michigan defensive end Ru'Quan Buckley who the Hogs offered last week. There hasn't been much movement with any defensive ends so figured it wouldn't hurt to add him.

RB Cam'Ron Valdez announced this weekend he's making some kind of announcement on 7/10. Either another top list or a commitment. If it's a commitment, only signs point to Texas Tech at this point.

If the Razorbacks are looking to replace Landon Rogers in the class, the only QBs I can see interest in at this moment are UNT pro-style commit Bryce Drummond and Missouri pro-style QB Conrad Hawley. Kendal Briles follows them both. Perhaps more targets will pop up.

Football HawgBeat's Preseason Burning Questions: How will the secondary shape up?

NWAHutch
This is one of those questions you kinda feel good about, but are still anxious to see how it looks. I do think there's reason for optimism here and - except for Jacobs - they should all be back next year, too... https://arkansas.rivals.com/news/hawgbeat-s-preseason-burning-questions-how-will-secondary-shape-up-

1. Has Feleipe Franks developed chemistry with the wide receivers/tight ends?
2. What will Arkansas use as its base defense?
