Ha! F**k you Butch.
Offers from Ohio State, Michigan and he goes with B. Bielema (who has had more than a few good O-Line guys).... Serious recruit.
BB2 was right on this one. I don't see it, but his offer list speaks for itself.
And never, has a local kid with this many offers, created so little emotion on these boards. Never.

We are just beaten down to a point that it is hard to express shock or surprise anymore.
Arkansas plays South Carolina on Oct 12. Good luck kid.
Arky also faces the most diabolically difficult 4 game stretch imaginable. Texas A&M, at Florida, South Carolina, at Alabama. :afraid:
Just the schedule you want to play with a true Fr. at LT. Might want to give the QB some extra pads.
That's like what they did to aggie last year. Turned out ok for them.
:congrats: to him. If he survives that stretch, he's gonna be a great one for Arky. ****ing Embree.
They also had an Outland trophy winner at LT and another 1st team all SEC tackle to keep their QB alive.

Look for the sun to set in the east, cats and dogs making love, and BB2 to become the new, undisputed Sage of AllBuffs. That, or, remember that even a blind squirrel will occasionally find a nut?
There's no question the kid is a huge kid. Here's the thing, though: I saw him play in person. He really did NOT seem to have very quick feet to me. His entire technique consisted of leaning on the defender and defending the interior. I didn't see a lot of drive blocking. I didn't see him getting out in space to create running lanes.
I'm not paid to evaluate talent, so I could be way wrong on him. He also could have simply blown up in camp and gotten some techniques down that I didn't see when I saw him play. All that is certainly possible. If he's starting, my first reaction is that Arkansas must be pretty thin at OL.

When your MO is to choose to go against the conventional wisdom of the board, you're bound to be right sometimes. Quite a bit, actually.
I respect someone who is willing to stick by an informed opinion that goes against the grain. What I question with BB2 is whether his opinions are based on anything other than his desire to be different.

Really weird all the way around, but clearly Skipper is showing out. The losses in OL recruiting are really starting to add up. I don't know how it happens, but we cannot continue to lose 75-80% of the in-state OL prospects. It is decimating our depth in the long run.
Well, that and large quantities of Polska Kielbasa....
Skipper ought to be a drama major.
Long after the whistle, guy gives you a shove, drop like a tree in the forest. Nice way to pick up 15 yards, the guy getting ejected makes it better.
Looked a lot to me like a very well executed dive, Skipper should consider playing soccer.
Really hard to tell how hard he got shoved. He is almost out of the frame of the gif.
It is hard to see but what we can see does look like he took a dive, the anouncers immediately said the same thing.

The guy who did it Robert Nkemdiche isn't a little guy at 6'5" 294 and he was a highly rated recruit so it's possible he could have shoved Skipper down without it being an act but it looks to me like Skipper was a willing particpant.

Heads up move by Skipper. Too bad he wasn't good enough for CU.
