Big time College football vent

Posted by nickwhi36 on December 18, 2006

At the University of Arkansas, three freshman who played a lot this year made an uproar last week. Mitch Mustain, Ben Cleveland, and Damian Williams were a part of Arkansas’s prized recruiting class this past off season. All three players went to Springdale High School where current offensive coordinator, Gus Malzahn, coached them. The parents of the players met with athletic director Frank Broyles the week before last to raise concerns that their sons might not be a good fit for the Razorbacks’ system. Mustain, a prized quarterback, and Cleveland, a tight end, have decided to remain at Arkansas, while Williams, a wide receiver, has decided to transfer. Despite the fact that Arkansas won 10 games and had the opportunity to play for a SEC championship and all three players had the opportunity to play in probably the best conference in football as true freshmen, it still was good enough for them. Cleveland’s dad is quoted as saying in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette that, “Our boys are used to catching 60 passes a year. They want to go to a college where they get the same opportunity.” Well maybe they should have thought about that before signing with Arkansas. Maybe they should have went to Hawaii. Maybe, I lost in my thinking, but having the opportunity to play for a championship on one of the best teams in the best conference in college football would be enough for me. Maybe its just me????
