With the Hogs sitting at 14 commitments, I had a few questions regarding RB recruitment and how the numbers crunch is affecting the coaches' strategy in closing out the class:
- If the Hogs land 3* WR Isaiah Graham (5.7, #70 WR, 6'0, 170) of Bastrop, LA next week, will this mean the Hogs are only looking to sign one RB in this class with the understanding that 3* ATH T.J. Hammonds (5.6, NR ATH, 5'11, 196) of Little Rock, AR will be considered a RB/WR hybrid?
- Do you think 4* FB Devin White (5.8, #1 FB, 6'0, 258) of Springhill, LA and his decision to announce on NSD hurts or helps the Hogs' chances to land him?
- Is it safe to say that the ship has sailed on 4* RB Damarea Crockett (5.8, #9 RB, 5'11, 212) of Little Rock, AR getting an offer from the Hogs? Between the numbers, RS SR Kody Walker returning, and the possibility of Hammonds being a hybrid recruit - I just don't see the Hogs signing 2 RB's. I just get the feeling that Arkansas is committed to waiting on one of these four RB's before they'd offer Crockett: (1) 4* APB Kyle Porter (5.8, #3 APB, 5’11, 190) of Katy, TX; (2) 4* FB Devin White (5.9, #1 FB, 6’0, 258) of Springhill, LA; (3) 4* RB Devwah Whaley (5.8, #10 RB, 5’10, 195) of Beaumont, TX; or (4) 3* APRB De’Vaughn Pennamon (5.7, #10 APRB, 5’10, 221) of Manvel, TX.
- I count 11 seniors (if my math is right) on the team according to the roster posted on this site. If we are full after the commitment of 4* SDE McTelvin Agim (5.9, #6 SDE, 6'2, 256) of Hope, AR last weekend, where did the other 3 spots come from? I'm assuming that Towns spot is occupying the final '15 spot we had open after signing 24 last year.
- How many total spots do you think the Razorbacks will sign in this class? I know it's a fluid situation, and I'm not asking you to name players that might transfer, but I'm curious to what the number is now that we've landed Town and have Walker set to come back for a 6th season.
