Ive been checking their paper to see what they thought of Ramar Smith going to UT and now all of the sudden he is not the better fit. All along it has been reported by them that UA was going to get him and he would be the missing link needed to get them back to glory. NOw read this.


Detroit shooting guard Smith snubs Hogs, commits to Vols


— Otis Kirk




FAYETTEVILLE— Detroit Martin Luther King’s Ramar Smith orally committed to Tennessee on Monday, cutting Arkansas’ wish list for a shooting guard in half.
Smith, 6-2, 183 pounds, chose the Volunteers after an official visit there over the weekend. He also visited Arkansas and had committed to Connecticut earlier in the process only to withdraw that pledge and reopen his recruiting.
Arkansas will host Chicago Marshall shooting guard Patrick Beverley, 6-2, 175, this weekend. Beverley played in the Roundball Classic on Sunday in Chicago and had 13 points, 6 assists and 3 steals. Beverley has visited Michigan and Toledo.
It appears his decision will come down to Arkansas and Michigan with St. John’s also in the mix. Beverley almost signed with Toledo in November but opted to hold off, and now, it will pay off with scholarhps offers from much larger schools. Beverley attracted several offers following a senior season in which he averaged 32 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 5 steals for the Class AA third-place finisher.
Arkansas’ top need this spring is a shooter after signing three players in November. Beverley fits that role better than Smith, who is more of a slasher and scorer than pure shooter.
In November, the Razorbacks signed Mendenhall (Miss.) Genesis One forward Michael Washington, 6-10, 235, Arkansas-Fort Smith small forward Sonny Weems, 6-6, 200, and Hargrave (Va.) Military Academy guard Stefan Welsh, 6-2, 180.

You know your right. It is amazing to me that they hate us like they do. I guess we keep getting their star players and we beat them all but 2 times.

Those losses did cost us two trips to the SEC Championship game.

Your right. Most seasons under CPF you can point to one loss or so as to why we were not in the SECCG.

Actually, the first one was under Majors, but your point is valid. '94, '00, '02, and '05 are the only years we've been hopelessly out of contention.

I noticed this on the Arkie boards yesterday. Most of the threads start out talking about how they're hoping the get Smith and what a good player he is etc etc, by page 3 they're saying that the didn't need him and he wouldn't be a good fit and how he might not qualify...

Kind of funny.

I know the first was under CJM and was at Neyland. It was the hogs first season in the SEC.

Arkansas is notorious for this. When UT played UofArk in basketball they went on and on about how they could have had Lofton. They say, since they gave a scholly to some kid that went to the NBA it cost them Lofton. It is such crap. They did not even extend a offer to Lofton but all of sudden he was theirs for the taking. As if because they wanted him, they would get him no matter who else extended a offer. The funny thing is it not the fans that usually make these ridiculous statements, it's the papers and the radio show host, the guys that "know". Drives me nutts.

It was the first game in a 3 game losing streak. Ark, Bama, and South Freaking Carolina.

That streak is probably responsible for the beginning of CPF's head coaching tenure at UT.

Well that goes to show that in every dark cloud you have a silver lining.

the bama game that year, sucked, but it was bama, and at that time, i had grown used to losing to them....

the USC game....steve freakin' tanyhill........stupid mullet boy.
and the ark game....why couldn't he have missed that fg???

oh, what a way to end a season....and yep, it was responsbible for CPF getting a shot in the driver's seat when it came open.

True, but who cares that they hate us? Not me. They know that Smokey would tear up that their stupid hog.
