Do we have a realistic shot?

So you think Parker sticks at TE?
I just wonder because his Sr year in HS he was such an amazing DE.

Yes, I think so. Lot of competition for him, but Mizzou has a legitimate chance. He likes Odom a lot and has raves about Dooley’s offense.

Auburn is the biggest threaT, IMO.

I think so, at this point. He’s a difference maker there and it’s probably his best NFL position.

It's big when a team loses a possible Day 1/Day 2 QB.

The roster is pretty trash at QB behind Lock right now. They need Bryant badly.

Connor Bazelac, the incoming freshman QB, is a good prospect but shouldn’t start Day 1.

They’re in some trouble next year if Bryant goes elsewhere.

There's not even a guy I'm comfortable with as a BACKUP behind Lock. If they dont get Bryant they're a potential 3 win team. With Bryant they could do 8-9 again because of an extremely favorable schedule. That's how awful the QB situation is, IMO.

The day my first child was born wasn't nearly as awe inspiring as the first time I saw a baseball game in high definition...

Heard it's probably not a great one. We should keep fingers crossed that we skullfuck the Hogs so hard that we pull him away.

Everything I've seen/heard has us no worse than 3rd. And Arkansas is losing ground fast. Morris is the only reason they have any shot at all and that appears to be fading.

I just don't have any faith in Odom closing the deal. He's been at the helm as our QB room has turned to shit; why should I expect some abrupt turnaround?

I've heard Arky are favorites, although it'd be hilarious if the dude went elsewhere where and declared it on Morris's birthday.

I'm not convinced Odom can close the deal either. What, he finally got his first 4 star verbal finally after 3 years?

From Arkansas fans?

I mean, he might still go there, but I’m a lot more worried about Miami and Auburn than Arkansas.

Recent chatter I’ve seen has been about Auburn, Mizzou, and Florida/Miami.

I think a big part of Odom’s struggles with QBs was Heupel, who wanted no part of local product Graham Mertz.

I mean, I get the connection to Arkansas. But if I’m Bryant and trying to showcase myself for the NFL one more time, just knowing Chad Morris really well is a lot less important to me than the the players I’d be playing with.

At Auburn, he’s playing for Malzahn, who has done well with QBs of his style before and got them ready for the NFL. He also has a good OL and good all-around talent on the offense around him.

At Miami and Florida, you’ve got Richt and Mullen and great talent.

Even at Mizzou, you’ve got a very nice supporting cast - good OL, good and deep RB stable, potentially two very good TEs, and some exciting options at WR.

Arkansas lags far behind all those options in terms of the help Bryant would have Year 1.

Listening to the local Sports show here in town that regularly has the guy who is involved with the TaxSlayer Bowl, Rick Catlett, you don't hear them talk much about getting Mizzou.

They seem more enamored with Florida, South Carolina, Texas A&M or Auburn to match up against Wisconsin.

I just hope bowls stop trying to wedge us into matchups with the B12.

I was hoping for a UCF loss because I BADLY want a shot at them but that's clearly not going to happen. There are more interesting Big 10 matchups than B12, IMO.
