Arkansas is now hard at work on 2014 prospects and visits are in the works.
St Louis University high school cornerback Raymond Wingo, 6-1, 164, 4.31 said it meant a lot to him to have Coach Bret Bielema, offensive coordinator Jim Chaney and defensive coordinator visit his school on Feb. 1. He knew the Hogs were hosting recruits for official visits later in the day and he liked the fact the coaches made a point to come by his school.
Wingo said his brother, Ronnie told him he would still recommend going to Arkansas and told him he would be a Hog again. Other than playing time he loved everything about Arkansas. The Razorbacks are one of several schools he plans to visit. Video highlights click here
