Camara's home town is Cedar Hill, not Cedar Hills. I know because I am a Hog fan who has lived behind enemy lines his whole life.

With each additional recruiting class under Petrino, our Razorbacks have gained quality depth which we didn't have before. Coach Petrino is the man with the plan.
I've learned a lot from just observing Coach Petrino lead the Hogs.

I saw Cedar Hill this year and saw the guy BOOMING punts; told my wife, "that kid will be a division 1 kicker for somebody!"
I was ecstatic when I heard the hogs got him.

Glad to see the competition, but it seems the best case scenario is for the true freshman kicker/punters on scholarship is to redshirt so the future is secure. Just being away from home at school is a tough enough without the wear and tear of competing for a job at the SEC D1 level. I am sure they will continue to push the upperclassmen even if they RS. Experience from last years tough road schedule may come in handy this year in critical situations.
If the new guys separate themselves and win the job though, then they deserve it.
