All purpose back Sione Palelei, 5-10, 197, 4.35 seconds on the 40 yard dash, of Gonzales, (La.) East Ascension said he was tempted to commit to Arkansas while on his visit over the weekend. He said he and his family will return to Fayetteville in early July and he could pledge then.
He loved how running backs coach Joel Thomas told him how the Hogs would use his talents. He said most coaches aren't as detailed. Palelei, who has other scholarship offers from Brigham Young, Utah, Southern Miss, Hawaii and others, said Arkansas is his clear number one.
