Have to admit the Solomon Thomas situation is starting to concern me. He's played everything close to the vest, so it's hard to get any real read on him, and I assume the so-called experts are just taking shots in the dark like the rest of us. The rational part of me thinks that all the effort he put in just to get admitted to Stanford speaks of a commitment to coming here. Then I realize that, as an 18 year old, the draw of family (sister attending Ark, family closer by to see the games) and teenage love could lead him to stay closer to home.

But in the big picture, the success of the program is based on more than the recruitment of individual, excellent players. If he does end up choosing Arkansas, it would be disappointing, but not the end of the world for us. I just hope he would not end up regretting the decision in later years.

At this point, I'm just looking forward to Wednesday's announcement.
