Smith and his aides in the fall to do anything with the talent To wit: Maybe the best one year for Arkansas high school talent in the past left them. decade-plus was the 2000 high school football season that produced the likes of Matt Jones and Shawn Andrews. Hence, when we look back at the best Also, unlike Petrino’s initial class when he took over for Nutt, Bielema recruiting seasons under former coach Houston Nutt, the 2001 signing class for encountered a down year in Arkansas talent with one of the best players in state those fall 2000 prospects is right at the top.

However, rather than keep hold of eight out-of-state commitments to the The same can be said for Bobby Petrino’s recruiting over his five hauls. While previous staff whose SEC-worthiness was in question (ultimately none would national recruiting rankings say his 2009 signing class was his best of the five, sign with a program stronger than Cincinnati of the Big East), Bielema held on a re-ranking of the 2008 class (featuring in-state receivers Joe Adams, Jarius to the few Arkansas commitments in place and set his coaches out to fill many Wright, Greg Childs, Chris Gragg, Ryan Mallett’s transfer) has placed that initial other spots. signing haul at the top of all the Petrino classes — though the jury is still out on 2011-2012. He leaned on the Florida connections of his former Wisconsin aide Charlie Partridge and new linebackers coach Randy Shannon, the former Miami player Nutt and Petrino occasionally picked up an out-of-state talent to complement the and coach. He took new offensive line coach Sam Pittman, who spent the past in-staters (Felix Jones, for example, in the Darren McFadden-led class of 2005 for season at Tennessee and the previous four before that at North Carolina, from Nutt, or 5-star cornerback Ahmad “Batman” Carroll with that 2001 class), they Hawaii to Florida to nail down some behemoths to help the transition up front to a both needed Arkansas’ high schools producing more than a handful of SEC- run-influenced offense. quality players.

Wisconsin and who wanted to get out of the Miami area. When Broyles first beat Texas in 1960, it open the doors to such prized Lone Star But it was when 6-foot-5, 333-pound Denver Kirkland put on a Razorback cap and State blue-chippers as Ronnie Caveness and Jerry Lamb, then Loyd Phillips and pledged himself to the UA that people around the country took notice. others, leading to an Arkansas domination in the 1960s. Broyles enjoyed a late Bielema and his coaches were reaching out beyond Arkansas big-time for resurgence in 1975, again thanks to a Texas influx recruited mostly by then- difference-makers. assistant Jimmy Johnson.

Bielema’s promise to start the building of his program from inside out — focusing 2013 RAZORBACKS RECRUITING ISSUE 2013 RAZORBACKS RECRUITING ISSUE SPORTINGLIFEARKANSAS.COM on the lines early and working on the skill positions afterward — was realized. Kirkland could play immediately, Koehler may not be far behind, and when Skipper adds 40 pounds, the trio could be the foundation for a Razorback line the likes of which have not been seen in these parts in at least a decade — at least since future NFL stars Andrews and Jason Peters were the formidable blockers on the 2003 line. The new staff’s late start required the flipping of more than handful of highly touted players who had committed elsewhere. New Jersey quarterback/safety prospect Damon Mitchell gave up a Georgia Tech offer and a late push from Boston College and Rutgers to choose Arkansas, and Melvinson Hartfield turned down the chance to be another do-everything speedster at Kansas State to be a Hog at the end. Denzell Evans, a bowling ball of a running back, had a scholarship to hometown Houston, but the lure of the SEC and Arkansas was too strong. In the end, when Bielema was reviewing the signing class, his only laments were not being able to flip Tenpenny or add one more 4-star offensive lineman, though two who had long committed elsewhere were considering Arkansas right up to the end. The in-state haul presented Arkansas with the best tight end prospect since D.J. Williams in Pulaski Academy’s Hunter Henry, as well as the fast, multi-skilled Drew Morgan from Greenwood. Good news on the academic front allowed Osceola’s Korliss Marshall to command a late offer from Arkansas, where he’ll start out at safety. Two- time Class 7A state champ Fayetteville produced a trio of potential stars in quarterback Austin Allen, linebacker Brooks Ellis and safety Alex Brignoni. Forrest City defensive lineman Tevin Beachum, relatively new to the game, wowed scouts in the summer with his athleticism and earned an offer from the previous staff. Areas of immediate need — a punter to replace the solid Dylan Breeding and more players at linebacker and defensive back — were addressed with junior college signees, while the Hogs also added more depth to the secondary with some prep help too for down the line. 2013 RAZORBACKS RECRUITING ISSUE 2013 RAZORBACKS SPORTINGLIFEARKANSAS.COM 2013 RAZORBACKS FOOTBALL SIGNING CLASS The nationally stunning additions of Collins and Kirkland out of talent rich south Florida, though, were the master strokes that excited Arkansas fans the most and made many observers believe that Bielema and crew can have the Hogs back to *TIQUENTION COLEMAN: S 5’ 10 195 lbs.

  • The Following Players Comprise the College Football Great Teams 2 Card Set
    COLLEGE FOOTBALL GREAT TEAMS OF THE PAST 2 SET ROSTER The following players comprise the College Football Great Teams 2 Card Set. The regular starters at each position are listed first and should be used most frequently. Realistic use of the players below will generate statistical results remarkably similar to those from real life. IMPORTANT: When a Red "K" appears in the R-column as the result on any kind of running play from scrimmage or on any return, roll the dice again, refer to the K-column, and use the number there for the result. When a player has a "K" in his R-column, he can never be used for kicking or punting. If the symbol "F-K" or "F-P" appears on a players card, it means that you use the K or P column when he recovers a fumble. Players in bold are starters. If there is a difference between the player's card and the roster sheet, always use the card information. The number in ()s after the player name is the number of cards that the player has in this set. See below for a more detailed explanation of new symbols on the cards. 1971 NEBRASKA 1971 NEBRASKA 1972 USC 1972 USC OFFENSE DEFENSE OFFENSE DEFENSE EB: Woody Cox End: John Adkins EB: Lynn Swann TA End: James Sims Johnny Rodgers (2) TA TB, OA Willie Harper Edesel Garrison Dale Mitchell Frosty Anderson Steve Manstedt John McKay Ed Powell Glen Garson TC John Hyland Dave Boulware (2) PA, KB, KOB Tackle: John Grant Tackle: Carl Johnson Tackle: Bill Janssen Chris Chaney Jeff Winans Daryl White Larry Jacobson Tackle: Steve Riley John Skiles Marvin Crenshaw John Dutton Pete Adams Glenn Byrd Al Austin LB: Jim Branch Cliff Culbreath LB: Richard Wood Guard: Keith Wortman Rich Glover Guard: Mike Ryan Monte Doris Dick Rupert Bob Terrio Allan Graf Charles Anthony Mike Beran Bruce Hauge Allan Gallaher Glen Henderson Bruce Weber Monte Johnson Booker Brown George Follett Center: Doug Dumler Pat Morell Don Morrison Ray Rodriguez John Kinsel John Peterson Mike McGirr Jim Stone ET: Jerry List CB: Jim Anderson TC Center: Dave Brown Tom Bohlinger Brent Longwell PC Joe Blahak Marty Patton CB: Charles Hinton TB.
