Saturday 1:42 a.m. update

Honolulu St. Louis high school offensive lineman Reeve Koehler, 6-3, 315, 5.2 said his in-home with Arkansas Coach Brett Bielema and offensive line coach Sam Pittman lasted about two hours and went very well. He said his three year old sister interacted with Bielema which was a surprise because she hasn't done that in the past with other coaches.

Koehler said he was surprised by how big Bielema was and how he seemed like a father figure to his players. His family was very impressed.

He said Pittman was wearing orange the first time he made an in-home visit and tonight he was wearing red. He found that amusing.

The family served up stew for dinner and had haole brownies with haupia ice cream on top. Haupia is a coconut pudding.

Bielema told Koehler he would be surprised when he gets to Fayetteville in regards to how nice it is there.

Koehler said he will decide from Kansas and Arkansas not too long after his visit to the Razorbacks.
