I do hope we land 2 of the final big three; however, the last 2 weeks has really shed light on what I'd hoped was not reality. Our program has an image and perception problem. We are perceived as 2nd tier type offer for elite kids. Yes we get a few, but my suspicion is that a majority feel like Fulton's dad on some level. Arkansas is a nice offer, SEC to boot, but not worthy of serious consideration when your choices also include the likes of LSU, Florida, Oklahoma, etc.....

Don't know the answer to correcting this, but it just highlights that we need the state of Arkansas to start producing more SEC level talent. When you only get 4 kids from AR that means 80% of your class has to come from places where you have to overcome that perception on some level.
