I was browsing The Ticker this morning and read (see link below) where Alexander recently said he wants to take one of his 5 OV's to see TX Tech. I've also read that he wants to take an OV to see the Hogs - as well as WVU, OK State, and Tennessee. That's all 5 OV's accounted for if he sticks with that list.

I haven't seen anything confirmed with any of them, and recruiting is a fluid and constantly evolving situation; but as our numbers get tighter and tighter - it's still interesting to me to know who is planning an OV's to see the Razorbacks and who else they are looking at.
I don't really see this really amounting to anything though, as the Hogs only have about 7-8 spots available in '16 with at least 4 of those likely being set aside for a RB, 2 more O-Linemen, and Agim. The last 3-4 spots will likely go to the best available players - which I'm not sure if Alexander is in that mix or not. Add to that the depth and talent the Hogs currently enjoy in the defensive backfield - others that likely rank higher than Alexander on the coaches' board are below:
