It is really troubling to me that my Arkansas Razorbacks are 14th in the SEC in football recruiting this year and there are only a couple of days left till signing day. Alabama came in and got our best running back from North Little Rock high and I was told yesterday that Hunter Henry of Pulaski Academy has confirmed that Tenpenny is definately firm on his committment to Bama. I am very glad that we hired Bielema but I know it will take time to build a program and he came in late this year.
I was not surprised at all to see that the SEC had 7 of the top 12 teams in the nation according to Rivals.com. However, I was disappointed that my razorbacks did come last in the SEC. Where is faithful programs like Vandy and Kentucky that traditionally only play basketball? At least Tennessee and Kentucky are number 33 and 34 which is in our neighborhood (at 44).
It is true that Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky and Auburn had to recruit when everyone knew at the end of the year the head coaches were going to replaced. Nevertheless, I am not surprised that Auburn with Gus Malzahn jumped into the 11th position in recruiting according to Rivals. This is a huge jump from back in the twenties where Auburn was ranked a few weeks ago.
