Title: Auburn getting a visit from the #2 player in Arkansas
Post by: jadennis on December 08, 2009, 04:04:10 PM
No skreets, just reading around a little....Malzahn visited DL Byran Jones in Arkansas and apparently has earned Auburn an official visit.  He's a Rivals 4-star (#21 DT overall) and is the #2 player in Arkansas.

He has offers from Auburn, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Miss State, Baylor, etc.

ESPN has him at a 78, which is the same rating they give Kenneth Carter, the only other DT in our current class.

If Jones doesn't go to Arkansas, that can't be good for Petrino.  That would mean 4 of the top 5 players in the state went elsewhere, including the top 3.  In a state that isn't very deep in talent (only 3 players are 4-star or better), that can't be good for the home team.

Apparently you haven't been to the school of Razorback.  They don't need those top players.  They are loaded.

Really?  :rofl: If it wasnt for their D, ours would have been the laughing stock of the sec statistically. And it still was to some extent.
