Regarding HOG recruits from Arkansas. Nutt failed to keep the best players in the state. Lee Zimba, Kodi Burns, Mitch Mustain, Damian Williams (USC's leading receiver). Joe Adams, last years top recruit from AR had committed to USC. Petrino changed his mind, and he is now a Hog. Petrino landed our best 5 players last year. He has to do this since we don't have that many great players coming out of AR like you guys do in LA. Petrino actually snuck into LA and grabbed Jericho Nelson last year who can play some ball. All I'm saying is that you guys are going to have a real fight on your hands with the Hogs. Petrino can't leave unless he rebuilds our program, and if he tried to leave who would take him? In all honesty he has recieved a very bad rap from ESPN because Home Depot is a major sponsor. Art Blank who also owns the ATL Falcons owns Home Depot. Give me a break....he has coached as many college teams as Les Miles has. Coaches move around. I would be surprised if he left the SEC. I'm out. Good luck until we meet up in LR. You guys might stomps us this year! Out!

Not saying it won't happen, but this recruit doesn't prove anything. Petrino has to demonstrate that he can consistently pull good recruits from other states if he is going to build up Arkansas' talent base. Arkansas produces a few standout players every year, but rarely is there much depth.

Wait... did you really write this? didnt he commit to purdue when we didnt have a spot for him, then he committed to ark?

he probably can play some ball, but petrino didnt sneak in and grab him. a 4 star ath will not get snuck out of LA by ARK if LSU wants him.

petrino grabbed him away from obscurity at purdue. he only went to ark to be closer to home, im sure.
