The talk in AR is that whoever the new coach might be at least one if not more of the recruiting class will be seeking a release. Do you think we would still be in the running for Abron if he was given a release .

His team is currently ranked No. 1 in D II and is in the Elite Eight. By the way, this is the same school that Joe Foley of UALR came from.

TT got major props for the game last night on one of the Little Rock radio stations. A guy pointed out he was only the 9th player in NCAA history to hit 100% of free throws for taking 20 or more.

By the way, wasn't Texas 5-7 this year. Obviously, the star system did not work for them this year. Big Ben wasn't exactly a five star. Closer to home remember PC. I think we all would love to have five star recruits for bragging rights; however, it does not always show up in positive results. These coaches know what they need and seem to feel they got it. I am willing to accept that.

How does the NCAA justify making the scholarship a year to year on the part of the school, but the player is obligated for four years. He can only transfer by sitting out a year or dropping down in classification if it is a FBS school. I think if some of these lawsuits focus on this situation in might become very interesting.

Before you close out the list, don't forget John Love. I saw both he and Shanklin play, and I think the plays Love made were even more impressive than Shanklin. Love went to the NFL with Washington I think. He was drafted and did not make a come back. Even though he did not finish his rookie year, he still received votes for offensive rookie of the year.

I don't think level of competition is as important in BB as in FB. How many players did you see go from high school to the NFL? A number of players went straight from high school to the NBA before they changed the rules. I am not saying it is not a consideration, but it doesn't seem to be the same.

It is my understanding Arkansas already has 25 commitments, but might offer 2 or 3 more in case something happens.

Thanks for the memory blast. I attended a high school and then a JC with no band. I thought the NT band was the greatest. The "University part of the alma mater was necessitated by the change from NTSC to NTSU. I was, I believe, in the first NTSU graduating class.

It seems to me that when I was an undergraduate, the band did some stick figure routines. So long ago, I am not positive, but I believe so.

We need to get the best players we can. If they happen to be from Denton, that is great. If they are from somewhere else, that is just as good. After all, we are a state university not a city one.

Why did they go into that play to lose defense?

This ad/ was written for a particular person. Twelve years college experience and seven years of pro, how many people would have those minimum preferred requirements. You have someone you want and then write the specs top fit their qualifications.

Cerebus, you are a hard man. Were you one of my chemistry profs.

I think we should at least give him to halftime of the first game to get things turned around.

Many years ago when 4A was the highest classification, Wichita Falls had all three teams make the playoffs. I don't remember how far they went. It was Hirschi, Rider and WFHS. They represented 2A, 3A, and 4A.

Lyon College = D-3

Eulessismore is right. I apologize for calling them girls; however, at my age, anyone under 40 seems like a kid to me.

When Joe Foley took over UALR, they were not much better than a high school team, and look at them now. Amazing what a good coach can do. Too bad we cannot say the same about the UNT girls.

I don't think you can compare earlier players with current players on the basis of statistics. You might look at the percentage of the teams total yardage produced by the runner. I only saw Abner in the bowl game on tv following his senior year. I did follow him closely with first the Dallas Texans and then the KC Chiefs. He was outstanding. For his time, he certainly was as good as anybody. I did see Bobby Smith play in college. He was speedy, but not in the same class as Abner.

Mack Brown said his biggest recruit his first year at Texas was Ricky Williams staying for another year rather than going pro. McCarney's biggest recruiting challenge his first year may be getting to the returning players. They seem to be bitterly disappointed and stronly for Canales. McCarney will need to reach these returning players as well as recruiting new ones.

How dare these ISU fans claim it is the most difficult Div I school to have a winning team. We all know from former comments that we have that title.

So besides many of the people on the board, the students, the Daily, Vito, Snyder, Norm Chow, Herm Edwards, Canales family, and Canales himself, and a few others, no one wants Canales as HC.

MeanGreenGlory has an excellent point. In order to have credibility, we have to dominate the conference we are in. Currently, the conference is the Sun Belt. As long as that is our conference, domination of the Sun Belt should be our first goal. If we don't reach that goal, how can we hope to accomplish any of the other goals we want to reach.
