Hog recruit changes mind...

You knew this was bound to happen. Cale Pick, a QB recruit from Kansas backed out of coming to Arkansas, and instead chose Kansas. Pick cited the uncertainty surrounding Houston Nutt, and whether or not he was going to be fired as his reason. Not to mention the Jayhawks are undefeated and ranked in the BCS standings.
We're seeing this with other recruits right now, including Winston Guy out of Kentucky, where the hometown pressure is increasing because of the stellar season the Cats are having in Lexington.
Not only does Arkansas need to keep winning, but if the rumors about Nutt being fired keep swirling, it will send more recruits running for the hills. Nature of the beast I guess. We'll keep you posted.
