Sunday recruiting tidbits

Several top prospects came away impressed with Arkansas after visiting the Hogs on Saturday.

As noted in Sunday's recruiting column, linebacker De'jon Harris said he almost committed to the Razorbacks a couple of times during his trip.

Harris, 6-1, 230, 4.70 seconds in the 40-yard dash, of Marrero (La.) John Ehret High School had high praise for the coaching staff and facilities. The fans also made a big impact on him.

Sophomore linebacker Anthony Hines III of Plano East High School in Texas was greeted at the door of the football complex the second he walked in and was taken back to Coach Bret Bielema's office where they talked for 30-40 minutes. He really liked that.

Hines said he felt at home after talking to Bielema, linebackers coach Vernon Hargreaves and running backs coach Jemal Singleton.

The trip was his second to Fayetteville. He visited when the basketball Hogs defeated Kentucky in 2014 and that's when he received his offer.

Arkansas defensive line commitment Briston Guidry of Metairie, (La.) Rummel said the visit reconfirmed why he pledged to the Hogs. He has visited Alabama, LSU, Texas A&M and others but said the Hogs have the best facilities he's seen. The fan base blew him away.

His teammate and cornerback Kristian Fulton said Arkansas exceeded his expectations. He said the Hogs are in his top five and he will likely make another unofficial visit and also mentioned taking an official too. He also praised the fans and said he was treated like he was already a Razorback.

Receiver Audie Omotosho of Plano East High School said Arkansas is very high on his list after his visit on Saturday. He said the fan base was crazy is a good way.

Arkansas threw the ball more than he expected and that was a big plus. He said he has thought about making a decision after his season but could happen earlier.

Hope defensive end McTelvin Agim said he signed about 25 autographs while he was in Fayetteville. He stayed over Saturday night and hung out with defensive end Tevin Beanum, offensive lineman Sebastian Tretola and tight end Will Gragg.

Linebacker Chris Baccus- Northeastern Oklahoma said he didn't get an offer from Arkansas. He said the Hogs want to come see him practice this spring.
