Odom says Arkansas is heavily recruiting every position on the defense for the class of 2021
Odom on the defense: "We're going to be really multiple. My history is more of a four down front... We're installing a lot of different stuff right now."

I got A LOT of good stuff from Coach Bolding during my conversation with him yesterday. Talked to him about some of the things that were discussed in the commitment thread: https://arkansas.rivals.com/news/coach-s-take-brad-bolding-discusses-new-qb-commit-landon-rogers

How often would you expect your financial advisor to contact you in a given year?

Would you expect a call when times get rough like now?


Completely off topic but as someone who studied investments in school I’m curious to your answers.

Started at 2 hours, then 4, now it's 8 hours per week:

Division I coaches in all sports will be allowed more virtual connection with their teams beginning Monday, April 20, and continuing through May 31, the Division I Council Coordination Committee determined Wednesday.

At the recommendation of the Collegiate Commissioners Association Compliance Administrators, committee members voted to allow teams in all sports to require up to eight hours per week of virtual nonphysical countable activities like film review, chalk talks and team meetings. At the request of the Division I Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, the committee also will require student-athletes to be provided at least one day off per week.

All required physical athletics activities continue to be prohibited due to the legislated requirement that a sports-safety certified staff member be present during such activities.

Teams in all sports also are prohibited from requiring any activities beginning one week before the start of a school’s final examination period for the Spring 2020 academic term through the conclusion of the final examination period for the term.

“This change not only allows coaches to continue to educate their student-athletes but also fosters the connectivity that comes with team-based activities,” said Council chair M. Grace Calhoun, athletics director at Penn. “Regular, individual check-ins between student-athletes and coaches remain permissible and are encouraged.”

When all spring sports were canceled earlier this year, NCAA rules then considered all sports to be out of season, with out-of-season conditioning rules applying. This limited what coaches could ask of their student-athletes.

The coordination committee committed to reevaluating the access in mid-May to determine whether extension or amendment of the access is appropriate.

Little Rock (Ark.) Parkview HS QB Landon Rogers committed to Arkansas today. Timing is too good -- as I have a story on Rogers being one of the under-recruited prospects in the South will publish tomorrow morning.

Anyway, here's some thoughts on the newest Hog QB commitment:

As a junior in 2019, Rogers completed 54 percent of his throws for 1,600-plus-yards, 19 TD compared to 2 INTT. Rogers also clocked a 4.58-second 40 time.

On tape, Rogers showcases a big arm capable to making timely throws downfield, the ability to improvise, to create and extend plays, and to take off and run. I appreciate his calm, cool demeanor under pressure. I think he would improve his stock this spring and during camp season.

Rogers throws off-balanced a bit, which is something Kendal Briles will help mold when he arrives in Fayetteville, but he's able to maintain a solid level of accuracy downfield when he launches it. Rogers loves to throw downfield and possesses a ton of arm strength to do so. That'll be essential in Arkansas' new-look offense in 2020 under Briles.

Rogers does a fantastic job with his short-field accuracy, particularly in the RZ. I like his ability to place the ball where only his WR can grab it. That should lead to great effectiveness near the goal as Rogers can throw dimes and also use his legs to find the end zone.

Rogers also extends plays well and continues to want to throw the rock first. His accuracy can be suspect, at times, but two INT shows that even if the ball is off-the-mark to a degree, the job is getting done. The stats speak volumes with a 19:2 TD to interception ratio.

Rogers also has solid anticipation to hit WR out of their breaks. So is his ability to deliver throws on-point while on the run. He throws outside the numbers with decent accuracy, but that'll be big in Briles' offense.

The majority of Rogers' throws are downfield outside the numbers and down the seams. We'd love to see his big arm and accuracy rear itself with some more throws. Camp season is critical for that area.

Remember Ty’Kieast Crawford? He was a four-star OL who committed to the Hogs for the Class of 2020, but was never really solid, ended up decommitting and - after being pursued by LSU and other big schools - eventually signed with a JUCO because of grades.

Well, according to multiple reports, he signed with Charlotte on Wednesday. Not every day that a four-stat recruit ends up in Conference USA.

As I mentioned in the original thread, I noticed some unusual results coming through with the voting. It became increasingly evident that someone essentially "stuffed the ballot box" for Todd Day. It's really annoying that I have to do this, but I am going to do a re-vote with a poll here on the board + on Twitter. I do not mind if you vote in both polls. What I want to avoid is someone voting literally hundreds of times for one player, which is what happened with the Google form I created for the final originally. I will then combine the two polls to determine the winner.

(How do I know the original poll was rigged? Well, for one, I got more votes this round than in any other round. Like double the amount of votes as the previous few rounds. Plus, I can see the order in which the votes were received. Todd Day received just 29 votes out of the first 174 ballots submitted - or just 16.7%. He then received 17 straight votes. That was the first of several "streaks" he had, with one being more than 30 straight. The odds of flipping a coin and it coming up the same side 30 straight times is roughly 1 in 1 billion - and it'd be even longer odds when you throw in the fact that was clear Williamson was the favorite and it wasn't a true 50/50 thing like flipping a coin.)

You've probably developed your own opinions at this point, but here's what Eric Musselman had to say about his two graduate transfers (and his opinion is really the only one that matters, right?): https://arkansas.rivals.com/news/mu...rt-on-grad-transfers-vance-jackson-jalen-tate
