Sounds like we'll keep a blueshirt option and communication lines open with Rowland, but other than him, yeah!    We already have some offers out.

North Texas has now outrecruited Utah State in three of the last five years.

4th time out of the past 5 seasons Arkansas’ class ranks 27th or higher.

I love the success we have had under Littrell but I think we are missing grit/mean streak from a lot of our players. Where's the guys that are coming up and laying wood on RB and receivers?

I call that the "Craig Jones effect"

Lets see.

2014- redshirt seniors. Only Chumley as remaining 3star player.

2015- redshirt juniors and true seniors. No contribution. That class had Damarcus Smith!

2016- Juniors. Ranked 102. Nic Smith and Hambone are our 3star players. Fine and Bussey are injured.

2017- Sophmores. Ranked 115. There are a lot of contributors from this 115 ranked class.

2018- Freshman. Ranked 102. Got some hopefuls but still 102.

You can say what you like about recruiting class but it doesn't even come close to telling the true story. Utah State was the better and deeper team.

Out of curiosity I wondered about their impact players in the shellacking we took part in.

QB Jordan Love:    https://247sports.com/Player/Jordan-Love-80970/high-school-140165/           All FCS offers besides UT State

RB  Gerold Bright   https://247sports.com/Recruitment/Gerold-Bright-47302/RecruitInterests/       Solid Offer list

WR Jalen Greene  https://247sports.com/Player/Jalen-Greene-20078/high-school-32207/              Transfer from USC

WR  Aaren Vaughns   https://utahstateaggies.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=329                                            Juco Transfer

LB  David Woodward (leading tackler) https://247sports.com/Player/David-Woodward-88598/high-school-169752/       No Other Offers

OC Quin Ficklin (All MWC) https://247sports.com/Player/Quin-Ficklin-15104/high-school-4799/                  Air Force Offer

PR/KR Savon Scarver   https://247sports.com/Player/Savon-Scarver-45572380/high-school-181079/            Every team in the MWC

OL Roman Andrus     https://247sports.com/Player/Roman-Andrus-46046197/                 2nd Team All MWC         No other offers

 

Gents... the talent was equal.  Something else was amiss.  Call it synergy or call it a myriad of other excuses but the "talent" bs needs to be washed immediately.  Their WR (Jalen Greene) is our Jalen Guyton out of HS... same quality of offers and everything.  Our OL is at least roughly on par with their OL in regards to how well recruited they were.  

I have been to Logan within the last few years and can tell you that it is the lamest college town that could-have-been on the planet.  How are they able to win the way they did and beat the shit out of us?  

Blame it on altitude but our BBall team just beat NM in their house with less days to prep.

I am thoroughly enjoying the first signing day when we haven't had to tell each other that "ratings don't matter"   

Life is good

I think that was FFR's point leaving a screen shot of Arkansas' class.
