Yep...soon they will be screaming to take DB's statue down, and recycle it to make a statue of Mitch Landrieu

381 yards on 21 carries Friday night. We’ll be lucky to hold onto him.

Nice to see he's getting some bigger offers (Nebraska, Iowa) but still tweeting that he's committed to Willie

He announced on twitter that he has de-committed and reopened his recruitment:

Best of luck, Duda. We will keep "Camptown" queued up for you should you change your mind this year or in the future.

Interesting to see where he ends up. On Rivals, it lists Iowa and Nebraska as 2 favs. Nebraska will have a new coach and Ferentez might retire at the end of the year.

He may not be coming back as a transfer. Someone on our Rivals site posted that WF has never taken a player as a transfer who committed to us and then de-committed. He has taken in as transfers players we recruited but didn't commit to us.

[b]Dream School
Can Arnold Barnes play for the Iowa Hawkeyes?
Arnold Barnes says Iowa has always been a dream school of his. Now the New Orleans running back has a chance to play for the Hawkeyes. They extended a scholarship offer to the Booker T. Washington High ball carrier Friday. The Class of 2023 member planned on visiting them at the end of this month.[/b]

Do we still have a shot when he returns from Iowa??? We are still rated in his final 3???
After returning home from Iowa, Barnes has said he would like to lock in his final decision with Tulane, Iowa, and Nebraska as the three schools he is still considering primarily.

Disappointing. We're 14th ranked conference champs, playing USC in the Cotton Bowl. We should be aiming higher than three stars!

Have you seen the non-UT/OU Big 12 recruiting classes? There aren’t many blue chip recruits around.

Didn’t Duda commit then decommit then commit again? Did Duda do it? If Duda didn’t do it….. I’m too confused

Also runs track.
Ran 100-meter best time of 11.27
Mickey Joseph recruited him to Nebraska so he’s out and WF moved back in on him to keep him home.

PLEASE do me, yourself, and the board a favor. Go look at how many 4 star recruits signed with G5 programs each of the last 4-5 years. Then come back and share that information and if you're still "disappointed" to get Barnes? When you look at the numbers, your comment will probably seem silly.
