No, it’s not a dream. The Arkansas Razorback regular season is over, and there’s nothing we can do about it. These Hogless Saturdays have felt like nothing less than empty. And we don’t need emptiness in Hog nation. Why not turn to basketball? Well that’s an even emptier hole that we’ll have to deal with later on. So since we can’t focus on football in the present, why don’t we focus on football for the future?

That’s what we’ll do. Because between this season and the next, Arkansas has a lot of work to do. The majority of work, where the most concern is thrown, is at the running back position. With Jonathan Williams skidaddling away and Alex Collins likely leaving, the Hogs are left with a small sample of running backs to choose from. It’s only safe to say that if we don’t find some improvements quick, we’re Arkanscrewed.

So what are our options? Well, we have very few. As of right now, with Rawleigh Williams’ future as a player up in thr air, Kody Walker will be our only returning back with game experience for 2016. That’s not terrible, it’s just that not a lot of Hog fans want to see Walker as our starter. I agree, he fits more in the backup/power role. So recruiting is a must for Arkansas at the running back position, and if you have kept up, you would know that there are big guys that have Arkansas at the top of their list. I’ll be focusing on one in particular today.

Ladies and gentlemen, Devin White.



Devin White hails from North Webster, LA. If you haven’t noticed, the man is ginormous. Sitting at 6’0, 258 pounds, White is a literal huge target for Arkansas to grab. It’s not only his size that makes him so interesting, it’s the the size/speed combo that he brings. Imagine Kody Walker…now imagine Kody Walker running a 4.4. Are you impressed yet?

There’s a big need for this man to sign with the Hogs. We’re in a desperate running back situation, and having a big sign like Devin White could get us out of a hole and provide some breathing room for Bert and the rest of Razorback Nation. We know that using a true freshman in the running back slot can be beneficial if there’s enough talent to go with him. This was very relevant in Rawleigh Williams III, and could very well be the same outcome with White. The man is a beast, and he knows it. Now if only he could just use some common sense and CALL THOSE HOGS.

Decisions aren’t coming easy for the big back. Of course, he’s got offers from all around the SEC. It’s very likely that he could stay at home and attend LSU (Insert Vomit Here). But he did make his official visit to Arkansas just a few days ago, bringing along his family for the trip.

We all hope that an oh so powerful back like White will sign with our Hogs for 2016. If not, we better hope Devwah Whaley has a hoggified backup plan. But until White’s decision is made, let’s keep our fingers crossed and hope that his LSU visit is soooo awful (I mean, c’mon, it’s LSU). But of course wherever he ends up, we have to respect his decision.

Just kidding. Be a Hog.
