He went in the seventh round now, so he could really be a high pick in three years. Plus, the Royals aren't a big-market team like the Yankees or Braves, Montez noted, so perhaps they won't offer Tierney enough money to make him skip a chance to wear a Razorbacks uniform. Hogs in Limbo Arkansas coaches now play a waiting game with their four top recruits, plus other Arkansas signees who may be drafted today. That hurt us. When signees like Ragsdale opt for the pros, it opens up scholarship money for other recruits.
Problem is, the best players have already signed with a school.
We'd like to hang on to all of them, but we've got to be realistic. We know we're going after the right guys. Now we just have to wait and see what happens. I think we've got a shot at Fitzpatrick and Tierney. And it depends how much Barthel wants to play football.
