FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas’ football coaches may be done with spring practice, but it’s not time for a break.
The Razorback staff - who offered Texas junior linebacker prospect DaShaun White after his unofficial visit to Fayetteville on Saturday - will hit the road recruiting on Monday and do so Monday through Thursday the next four weeks.
“We snuck in two days in April,” Arkansas head coach Bret Bielema said. “You're allowed 168 evaluation days as a staff. We're down to 166. Our coaches will be out every Monday through Thursday for four straight weeks. My coordinators are going to be in the office the first three days, then they'll get out.
“We've got it scheduled, I believe, for 164 days (each coach counting a day) and then the last two Fridays we'll let a couple coaches go out and use those last four evaluation days. Then we'll be in that last week in May and then we go into June.”
June will be camp month with five days of camps on campus and five satellite camps in highly populated areas thanks to new rules put in place.
The on-campus camps include a high-school prospect one on June 3, a two-day high school camp on June 12-13, a specialists camp on June 17th and a new offensive and defensive linemen camp on June 18.
“I knew what was coming,” Bielema said. “The (NCAA) rules haven't been officially passed yet, but we've got 10 camp days and we're doing I believe five here on campus and we're doing one in the Dallas area, two in the Houston area, one in Chicago, one in Detroit and one in New Orleans. So we're going to be a little bit all over the place.”
