Losing Kutas probably pisses me off the most, especially with supposed OL guru as HC. I thought we were supposedly spending our money on the lines? Can we not afford him or is our line just not getting coached well? It certainly seems he was slated to be a starter next year.

Family?   

Like I said, likely a mix of both more money and program trajectory. 

One of the Rivals guys contacted him as soon as his name hit the portal.   He said he had no interest in Arkansas.  I assumed that to mean we hadn't even made it to the stage of discussing money.

My grandmother broke her hip and had a replacement in her 90's.  She was up and walking same day; didn't have much pain.  Sam could have had it the Monday after a game with a bye and been back for did next game. Easy.

If you think kids aren't getting contacted by certain schools early with offers you're fooling yourself.

And yes, family. You said his cousin was there. If he wanted to go where his cousin is (say some other school) and that school is gonna pay him big, he'd go there instead. If you think it's mainly OM and Kiffen that are the reason, again, you're fooling yourself.

Just guessing she wasn't a 300 plus pound lineman.

His cousin is coming to Arkansas.   He's in the class that just signed.

Like I said, it's not necessarily that Kiffin is the reason.  But Pittman is probably at least part of the reason why we weren't even considered. Or if not Pittman, the overall state of the program compared to Ole Miss.

I think you underestimate the power of money where most of these kid's come from.

I think you're mistaken about that. 

When money is constant, they choose the better program.

We can agree to disagree. You have a kid yesterday who signed with LSU and commented that he was disappointed he couldn't go to FSU.

Parents are going to push the kid where the money is. Mom and pop don't care bout no coach...

I think you underestimate the Pittman stench on our program right now.
