WOW, only 1 Running Back.. this should be interesting!!!

That's the pitch to land either Collins or Tenpenny, I think they will go after a JC midterm kid or kids next year to increase the #s. Need to stay healthy next year at the running back position.

Now it seems obvious that we've decided we'll go the route of trying to get one HUGE star RB and call it a day rather than taking 2-3 really good RB's (ala Blanchard). I have no issue with this approach other than the "strike out" factor. If we strike out on the 3-4 HUGE RB's we're on...then what? I'm sure we'll take someone at RB in the end...but is there a chance we'll end up having to take someone not as good as Blanchard?
Also...what happens if Collins and Tenpenny both decide they want to come to Arkansas? I'm guessing one of them, probably Collins, would decide to then go elsewhere. Of course...that would be a great problem to have.

You gotta think that if both want to come, then they would take both. Don't see how you could pass up on either one at the caliber of player that they are.

Maybe this will help with Collins....
" According to a source close to the University of Miami’s NCAA investigation, the University is expected to receive the Notice of Allegations (NOA) from the NCAA within the next 72 hours. Upon receiving the NOA the University will have up to three months to respond at which time they will go before NCAA infractions committee ."

I think they realize that Tenpenny might be a lost cause.. one thing that bothers me is that Tenpenny will get lost in the shuffle with all the Running backs Bama has, what a shame.. If Tenpenny flipped and Collins committed I think we take them both.. Competition would not hurt at all

Here is where we put the official visits as we confirm them. Go to football recruiting at top of board and scroll down to visits. if any instate kids came that weekend on unofficials it would likely be the Fayetteville kids.

I'd bet money that Austin Allen will be hanging around the weekend of the 25th.
