if true, not a good look for Morris and Arkansas

Hmmmm, that’s a pretty bold move there Morris. Good way to totally alienate a talent rich area. Morris is done at this point.

I'd be a little surprised if that was a 100% accurate account. As with most things, the truth is probably in the middle somewhere

Arkansas looks bad right now on the field and how this was handled was just about as bad as you can handle something as a program. IDK whats accurate and whats not but it shouldve been handled differently.

Wiltfong CB UT along with a few others.

Wiltfong just CB’d all 3 to UT.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

That post from Galliea reads like a scene from Remember the Titans.

They just need to go ahead and make it official. Need some booms around here.

Hope so, but they might do the MSU thing out of respect. Hope not though.

They might also visit Memphis. Unless something changes, they're planning to enjoy the process a bit more. Seems all the in-state guys are going to do this.

Could Arkansas be a bigger factor in these guys recruitment if they can Morris and hire Norvell away from Memphis ? I know I have seen somewhere that all 3 guys kinda like him a lot.

I think they're just having fun visiting around and taking in games. It's hard for UT fans because we want the in-staters to commit and help peer-recruit, but there's no urgency this year. If the season had played out differently, recruiting would have, too.

But if we get a big win, who knows?

I saw an Arkansas podcast awhile back saying that Norvell would never consider them due to some rumors that were spread about Norvell by Arkansas from their last opening. TIFWIW.

@gohogs14

Take this back to the Arkansas board!

Only thing about this was that the rumor was about Beats headphones, not old cleats.

Oh well not like it matters now anyway, Morris is done.

Deer Lort if that is true. Not saying I buy it but that read as a comedy of errors. I cant imagine coaches kicking recruits out.

not sure what your point is? i think it's obvious things aren't great in fayetteville. i just don't know that i'd buy a one sided, 3rd party account of what happened, or didn't happen, 100%.

aight?

 

[Jackcrevol]

let's go fellas!!

 

[Crazy Ivan]

I was immediately skeptical, but then I thought 'what would the middle be in this situation?' It seems the kid either stole them or didn't. Somebody is fibbing. That is about all I can make of it. I hope it is the Hogs' side fibbing, but who knows? But it just seems weird that Morris would try to frame an 18-yr old for stealing simply because the kid decommitted. Surely he has lost a recruit before? This just makes no sense.

 

[bigl3327]

The kid was an Arkansas commit, wore Vols gear on his visit, and then decomitted. I can see a coach that just got his arse handed to him being petty.

He wore a Vol bracelet like most recruits after visits. Thats the only thing anyone has showed proof of.

 

[bigl3327]

I saw a pick that he was wearing a white UT pullover. I will look for the pic.

 

[SGMVols]

I feel like Morris may be tanking for a buyout. No one can be that incompetent without trying. He's making Butch look like Saban.

Nevermind.... only see pic with cool wristband. But I had no problems with the kid being dressed head to toe in Vols gear if he did.
