Questions surround Arkansas nickel position halfway through camp

The nickel position is key to the success of the Razorback defense as a play-making position, but after  Greg Brooks Jr.   this spring the depth at that position has been somewhat of a mystery. On top of it, Brooks has not been practicing for at least the past two practices. It would be one thing if he were a veteran, but Brooks is a true freshman who enrolled early in the spring. Coaches felt confident enough with him to move 2018 nickel starter D'Vone McClure inside to linebacker, but Brooks needs all the reps he can get. After Brooks -- and with him missing -- there have been a lot of different players working there.  Arkansas cornerbacks coach   Mark Smith   indicated that Brooks' injury was nothing serious in his post-practice interview. "I know it’s not a major thing," Smith  said. " I don’t know. I don’t know when they [plan to bring him back]." Redshirt junior  Micahh Smith  worked with the first group at nickel during Tuesday's pra...

Sam Pittman to be named head coach at Arkansas

Georgia offensive line coach and associate head coach  Sam Pittman  will be the next head coach at the University of Arkansas, according to strong sources. Pittman has all but signed the deal. Pittman, 58, is one of the highest paid assistant coaches in the nation at $900,000 a year. Sources say he first reached out three weeks ago about the position, and after a long search, he became the answer for the Razorbacks. He was the offensive line coach at Arkansas under former head coach  Bret Bielema  from 20013-15 and has always expressed a love for Fayetteville behind the scenes. During that time, Arkansas brought in some of the biggest offensive line recruits in program history, beating out blue blood programs from several states away for players like  Denver Kirkland ,  Frank Ragnow ,  Dan Skipper  and several others. Since 2013, eight  Sam Pittman  players have been drafted into the NFL, including two first-rounders. Alabama came aft...

Hogs humiliated at home by San Jose State, 31-24

Its getting really old discussing which Razorback defeat marks the worst loss in school history, but we have yet another candidate following another humiliation in Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium...this time at the hands of the San Jose State Spartans by a score of 31-24. Arkansas waited until after halftime to even kind of show up (if you want to call it that). Arkansas coach  Chad Morris  said after the game that he was concerned with the pregame as the players, "W ere a little too loose." He added that, "I thought we were a little too giddy, and I made comment of that ." Arkansas tied the game 24-24 after falling behind 24-7 at the break, and there was a sense from those still in attendance that Arkansas might actually pull it out after all that. Nope. "His guys out-played us, they out coached us, and was very disappointed in the effort we showed tonight," Morris said after the game. "Everyone's going to be held accountable, from me ...
