True or False...

Recruiting Insider Board
#1

True or False: Arkansas came close to offering Byars and BJ Thompson? FALSE as you can now see Porter was up next

Arkansas pulled offer to Thomas Johnston thus him going to UAB? FALSE

Michael Smith an Barry Lunney are only recruiters on the staff? TRUE, but I would include Rhoads

Being Bret Bielema will continue? FALSE - Being Mike Anderson takes its place. Bo has gone to most games and had behind the scenes access

We will get Stewart and Calloway as DBs? 1 of the 2

We will get Malik Young? FALSE

We will get another DE to finish? TRUE

We will hold 25 for a transfer student who we already have in the pipeline but Dudley won’t divulge the name. TRUE - it will be grad - but FALSE I don’t have his name

Dudley will never, ever divulge a KYSO prospect again because he has been burned by the likes of KJ Hill and Michael Dyer? TRUE

Dudley has grown tired of recruits lying to him, thus making him look incompetent when he reports what they tell him? FALSE - Part of the gig

Froholdte will be All SEC 1st team before he graduates. TRUE

Austin Allen will be the preseason 2nd team All SEC QB next year. TRUE

If Bret only wins seven games next year he will be gone. FALSE

Paul Rhoads will have the same impact as DC that Smith did in his first year, a huge turn around in the defense. FALSE - I don’t believe Arkansas will have a top 10 defense

Arkansas collapsed in several games last year because it is a fragile balance of over achieving less talented players trying to play harder, smarter, more mistake free while relying on schemes to win, not talent, and when that gets off-balance, it falls like a house of cards. FALSE overall although some of that is true

To compensate for failing to have any corners in last year’s initial recruiting class, they went for very few defensive linemen this year to make room for more secondary recruits. TRUE

Wisconsin beating LSU this past season shows that what worked for CBB in Wisconsin will work in the SEC West when he gets his system established thoroughly. TRUE

The talent required to compete successfully in the SEC West is much higher than that required to be competitive in the Big Ten. CBB has to recruit better at Arkansas than he did at Wisconsin. FALSE - Big 10 ain’t bad. TRUE - recruiting has to get better

We lost a recruit this year due to someone else offering improper benefits. FALSE

I’ll answer any others when I returned

#3

Sorry if this should be posted elsewhere but I would like to add a true or false statement for your opinion.

T/F:Clemson, Ole Miss x 2, Ohio State, Auburn, Oklahoma and Texas AM are the last seven teams to beat Alabama. This shows that the way to beat Alabama appears to be a Hurry Up offensive style with a mobile, dual threat QB (except for OSU who had Cardale dropping back tossing bombs, though he could run). [The last 7 QBs to beat Bama: Deshaun Watson, Chad Kelly, Bo Wallace, Cardale Jones, Nick Marshall, Trevor Knight and Johnny Manziel. ] Rather than taking a 60 minute look at a clearly stumbling LSU team with Brandon Harris at QB, playing in the state of Wisconsin versus a very good Badgers team, a better way to figure out the best style to win the SEC West is to look at who has been able to defeat the one that wears the crown.

We lost a basketball recruit this year due, in part, to someone else offering improper benefits.

#5

Aloha and mahalo DD!

Love your T or F posts!!

GHG!

#6

Well…

#7

Bo Wallace a running QB? He shut him out , the others i agree on though.

I don’t know if it has to be a spread system but the qb with a threat to run makes them nervous. Its easy to rush the passer when you know where he is at all times

sip smirk

#9

Good news. Last year I asked this question and the answer: absolutely.

#10

  1. Do you think Agim will be All-SEC this coming year ( not pre-season) and a man to be reckoned with ?

  2. Whaley will be at least 50/50 with RW3 in carries this coming year ?

  3. Brandon Martin will be the best receiver we have recruited in a long time and will be gone to the NFL after this year ?

  4. Both RB’s signed this year will be red shirted ?

  5. David Porter will be a major contributor before his career is complete, and we will be glad the other kid (whose name I am leaving out on purpose – because I like him and he is a kid) went to OU to open a spot ?

  6. Calloway will play this year ?

#11

We have enough talent on campus or coming to be successful next season in a 3-4?

#12

True, had it before we signed a single recruit!

#13

Montgomery is a coaching (Position/Coordinator) candidate.

Patridge will return to the staff at some capacity.

#14

Link??

#15

It is a TRUE/FALSE thread. The questions are being asked of Dudley.

#16

Making it so difficult…writing books…it’s really simple. True/False. Quick takes. Not your senior thesis.

#17

I was asking Dudley if there was a Link, haha…actually was thinking it was on another thread, excuse me…

Oh, and according to Twitter today, the answer is FALSE

#18

FALSE

I would say that the best way to beat Alabama is to recruit a superstar or even better superstars.

It would seem that hurry up offense is a help, but it seems to me it is more about who the parts are in that hurry up offense.

Arkansas has played Alabama fairly well - including the 14-13 loss here

[quote=“dm919”]

  1. Do you think Agim will be All-SEC this coming year ( not pre-season) and a man to be reckoned with ? FALSE, but only because there are only a pair of DE/DL on the first-team. But I do think he is going to have a heck of a year

  2. Whaley will be at least 50/50 with RW3 in carries this coming year ? TRUE - at least a better chance of it being TRUE than false.

  3. Brandon Martin will be the best receiver we have recruited in a long time and will be gone to the NFL after this year ? FALSE, but I do expect him to have a good 2 years here before moving on to playing on Sundays

  4. Both RB’s signed this year will be red shirted ? FALSE - I think one or more will be involved on game day, even if it is in the return game.

  5. David Porter will be a major contributor before his career is complete, and we will be glad the other kid (whose name I am leaving out on purpose – because I like him and he is a kid) went to OU to open a spot ? I think Porter has a great future, but I think Troy James has one, too. PUNT

  6. Calloway will play this year ? TRUE

#20

TRUE - by accident and at least potentially. More success likely than if they played a 4-3, which they admit they didn’t recruit well enough for in the past years
