I was watching the ASU vs. USA game (I support all Arkansas teams) and I saw J.D. McKissic and Fredi Knighten making some good plays and it makes me wonder...how did the Hogs miss on these kids? I know McKissic would be a great addition to our WR core, Knighten is a play maker, and also how do we miss on kids like Kenneth Dixon? Why is good home grown talent not in a Hog uniform? Makes me question if we really recruit our own state in as much depth as we say we do? If we did, I don't think you miss on these kids. Don't get me wrong, I believe we are more right than wrong and I understand you wont get them all, but I see a couple in-state kids that are really good and could be SEC talent given some development, and we have either not offered or let another school come in and get them. For example:

I just have hope we dont look back and say, man instead of chasing these long shots, we should have offered these kids. Your thoughts?
