Kyrie Fisher of Tulsa Union is live on KOTV-6 in NEOK in the state championship game. He is a big dude (listed at 6-4 x 230). Playing OLB or maybe standup DE, he has two sacks already and has very quick feet.
He looks too big for LB … hard to say though given the normal size of HS competition … is he a candidate for speed rush DE?
I hope we get him, but Minnesota recruiting site is saying he is back solid to them. Crazy we can’t flip a kid 2hours away when his other Power 5 offer is in the frozen wastes of the far north! To your point though, it’s an interesting question. Lord knows Ark really needs rush ends.
Am I correct per what Dudley has said in the past if Fisher wanted to commit he could do so irrespective of Johnston? Just trying to understand the hold up if the kid has an offer and told Dudley he wants to go to Arkansas. In other words once a kid is offered he has the green light to commit and is not on hold because they are waiting on someone - correct?
Richard when is last time you talked to him? One of the Minnesota sites says he’s reaffirmed his commitment. Be interesting to see what he would tell AR media.
I’m not talking specifically about Fisher. Generally speaking you have said EJ Franks has told you when they offer someone there are no conditions. In other words when Arkansas offers a kid he has the green light to commit.
I have been very clear - at least I thought I had - in that Arkansas issues a scholarship offer and that kid has the chance to commit right away.
But I also listed conditions about positions, numbers, etc., at the tail end of a class.
So to be very clear - there comes a time when that scholarship could go away simply because of a numbers crunch. That is explained to a kid at the start.
They just don’t make a habit of doing that.
I have NEVER said that Arkansas absolutely does not pull scholarships as evidenced by the two Louisiana WRs that ended up at TCU a few years ago. They definitely pulled those.
Dudley, numbers crunch? I know you’ve stated on here either Fisher or Johnston, and we would still have at least one scholarship for best available. Could we not end up with both?
