I'm an owner/admin of www.hogville.net and today I covered the signing day festivities at Pulaski Academy here in Little Rock. One of the football signees was Linebacker, Matt Stoltz. We lost a good one and you guys got a good one. Here's a link to a pic I took today at the press conference. http://www.hogville.net/yabbse/?board=3;action=display;threadid=6223
this is probably crazy and delusional BUT... (what a way to start??) I just had this crazy feeling that the Stoltz and Helms commitments were just a hoax. A cleverly disguised Hog prank to lure us into thinking we would steal two of the top Arky prospects away, then they would pull the rug from under us today. I held my breath until I saw that they officially committed. I just remember reading it had been like several years since we got any quality prospects out of Arkansas. It does sound like we got two more great Tigers!
Stoltz, from what I understand, took his visit to Arkansas early and was offered. Arkansas told him basically to accept and take no more visits, Stoltz said no, Stoltz is now a Tiger. LSU, Arkansas and Oklahoma were his final 3. Helms on the other hand was a no brainer for LSU. Both of his parents are LSU grads with his father having a PhD from LSU. Helms' final 3 were LSU, Arkansas and Tennessee. Both are excellent pickups for you guys.
Class act! Thanks for the picks, FayettenamVet... ...I can only hope that the Razorbacks wil be as nice to us this fall....
