3. KU was an absolute cluster**** when trying to recruit DGB
4. Mack Brown is a smooth mofo
5. Mizzou might be getting another DGB here in two years

Man the parents were candid about stuff. In reading that, I can't help but feel sorry for the kid. That's going to be a lot of pressure to live up to. Of course, when he's making millions in the NFL, I won't be feeling sorry for him. It really is insane the collective energy (from fans, staffs, boosters, etc...) that goes into wooing these 17/18 year old kids. Nuts.
I think it's weird that they characterized the Arkansas coaching changes as "lateral movement." Almost all of them have been people moving up (except for Paul Petrino's departure, but he's since returned).
