Youngblood, Gordon to transfer from Arkansas

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

By Harold McIlvain II

FAYETTEVILLE – Former quarterback turned tight end Jim Youngblood has been released from his Arkansas scholarship and will look for another school in order to be a signal caller.

The Camden, Ark., native redshirted his freshman year and entered the spring as the third-team quarterback before making the shift to the tight end position last season. Youngblood was in the 2008 recruiting class that included fellow quarterback Tyler Wilson, who is second on the depth chart behind Ryan Mallett.

After totalling 5,562 passing yards, 43 touchdowns and more than 1,600 rushing yards in high school as a quarterback, Youngblood will be looking to return to his old position with a new school—which could be UCA, reports indicate. He never recorded a catch during the season at the new position.

The release was the second of the week after David Gordon declared he would transfer from the program. The Tulsa, Okla., native made 11 total tackles for Arkansas last year while playing 10 games, three of which were starts for the freshman.

McGee: Obama with a whistle

Thursday, April 29th, 2010

FAYETTEVILLE — Some things just can’t be denied. When you see it, you just know it, and what I know is that someday in the near future Garrick McGee is going to make some university very proud that he is its head football coach.

This isn’t a great revelation. Anyone who has been around McGee much at all — and my access has been limited as has all members of the media who covers the Razorbacks has — comes away impressed by him. But watching him coordinate the Hogs practices this spring and listening to him address the media both on national football signing day as well as several times following spring practice, it became crystal that the Oklahoma grad is destined to successfully guide his own program one day.

Oddly enough, I got the same feeling back in 2004 when I watched the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention by a freshman senator from Illinois. While I had never heard of that senator before, he had an undeniable stature and charisma that made me think this guy is something else. Of course, we now call that senator Mr. President.

To me, McGee is Barack Obama with a whistle in terms of poise, charisma and stature. You can see him rising to do great things. Now, this is not meant as any type of political commentary one way or the other. It’s just an analogy that when talent is there it is often apparaent.

The Razorbacks are poised to have an outstanding offense, and while the lion’s share of the coaching credit for that necessarily and rightly is bestowed upon Arkansas head coach Bobby Petrino, McGee should earn some credit, too.

When Petrino’s brother, Paul, opted to leave his brother’s staff, there is little doubt that Bobby had many coaches willing to come to Arkansas and take the title of offensive coordinator. Working under Petrino on the offensive side of the ball is good for anyone’s knowledge base and resume. Plus with the stable of talented receivers, running backs and quarterbacks returning, it would have made the coordinator’sjob that much more enticing. It says a great deal for McGee that Petrino stayed in house with the promotion.

If the Hogs have the type of season fan’s are dreaming about, McGee will have options in December. Here’s hoping he elects to remain a Razorback.

Here’s food for thought, though. If well-placed scuttlebutt is true, Petrino was about two falling dominoes away from getting a call from Florida to take over the Gators program last December when Urban Meyer waffled over whether he wanted to be Florida’s coach or not.

Should Petrino be poached from the Ozarks in the near or distant future, McGee wouldn’t be a bad coach to consider as his replacement.

Yes, I know all the hubbub about hiring needing to hire a proven head coach. I also know that the perfect replacement for Nolan Richardson is now coaching the Missouri Tigers, and the Hogs could have had him for a song back in 2002.

Red-White Game Recap Part 3: Offensive line

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

FAYETTEVILLE — Judging Arkansas’ offensive line from the Red-White scrimmage is an unfair proposition. Offensive lines are coached to work as a unit, and by dividing the teams up evenly, Bobby Petrino knowingly broke the cohesion of the group.

The mixing and matching linemen no doubt feed into the assignment mistakes that had the Hogs yield a combined 11 sacks in the scrimmage on April 24, which the Whites won 31-21.

Arkansas stands to have a solid if not strong offensive line for the 2010 season, and while I’m stepping out on a limb here since Petrino has not released a post-spring depth chart as of yet, I’m guessing it will be different than the pre-spring depth chart, and I would also hazard a guess that the offensive line depth chart for Arkansas’ opener against Tennessee Tech will be different from the post-spring chart, too.

Why?

Because at three of the five offensive-line positions, there is a great deal of competition, more than Arkansas has had since I first covered the team in 1989.

Senior tackle De’Marcus Love (6-5, 315) and junior center Seth Oxner (6-4, 315) will be hard to dislodge from their starting posts. Love has matured into a big-time tackle, while Oxner most experienced back-up would be Wade Grayson (6-4, 302), who started at guard last year but will have to fight of competition to hold that spot in 2010.

The guard spot is where most of the heat will be in August. Alvin Bailey (6-5, 323) moved into the starting lineup when Grayson suffered an injury and did not give the spot up in the spring. And the emergence of Anthony Oden (6-8, 328) at the tackle opposite Love allowed first-year offensive line coach Chris Klenakis to move starting tackle Ray Dominguez (6-4, 329) inside to guard.

Klenakis said the Dominguez/Oden experiment was an attempt to get the most physical and best lineman in camp on on five-man squad. But don’t think that Grayson and Grant Cook (6-4, 322) aren’t going to fight to regain their starting spots. August should be very competitive up front.

Grant Freeman (6-7, 298) is currently working behind Love at tackle, and Travis Swenson (6-5, 305) shows promise behind Oxner.

Once the dust settles, the Razorbacks ought to have an offensive line capable of rolling up big numbers whether protecting for the pass or knocking holes open for the run.

2 Razorbacks arrested on drug charge

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

FAYETTEVILLE —Arkansas defensive backs David Gordon and Hunter Miller were arrested Monday night on a charge of possession of a controlled substance by University of Arkansas police.

During a welfare check of two subjects in a vehicle, a UA police officer detected the odor burned marijuana, according to the UA police arrest report. When the officer opened the door a cloud of smoke escaped the vehicle, and an officer saw a plastic baggie containing a leafy substance.

Gordon, a scholarship player from Tulsa who started in three games and played in 10, was initially reported to be David Lopez. Gordon was injured and did not participate in spring practices. Miller is a walkon defensive back.

Both players were released on bond after being booked into the Washington County Detention Center at 8:05 p.m.

Red-White Game Recap Part 2: Running Backs

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

4550483519_34c79d6a24Photo by Ross Brown: Arkansas running back Dennis Johnson.

FAYETTEVILLE — Going into Arkansas’ spring scrimmage, Arkansas’ coaching staff felt like it had a strong, deep and versatile stable of running backs, and nothing happened on the field that should change that feeling.

Each of the Hogs top four running backs had their moments in the contest that saw the White team score the game’s final 17 points to post a 31-21 victory.

Ronnie Wingo Jr. led in carries with 18 and total yards with 88, but Knile Davis, Broderick Green and Dennis Johnson each average more yards per carry than Wingo’s solid 4.9 average. Davis carried 6 times for 49 yards for an 8.2 ypc. average, while Green had 8 carries for 53 yards for a 6.6 ypc. average and Dennis Johnson had 6 carries for 38 yards for a 6.3 ypc average.

The only truly disappointing aspect of the backs play was the fumbles by Wingo and Davis. Davis actually suffered a broken collar bone on his fumble. He had surgery Sunday. It is expected to take about month for him to recover.

Wingo reeled off the longest run with a 37 yard scamper. He hit the holes hard and seems to have gotten over his habit of trying to dance around in the backfield that tripped him up at times as a freshman. He also caught two passes for 28 yards, one that went for a 31-yard touchdown.

Green seemed to pick where he left off last season. He is a punishing runner that doesn’t mind pounding defenses with is 5-, 245-pound frame.

Johnson is as nimble and tough as ever. He seems to have the best vision and cut-back ability of the group, and he also has nifty hands. He caught two passes for 42 yards with one going for a 38-yard gain.

Like Johnson, Davis has a nose for the hole and has a good combination of speed and strength. His only issue is his proclivity to be injured. This is the second spring that he has been hurt. But Davis did go through all of the 2009 season without being hurt.

The only real issue is that while all four backs had productive springs, none of them truly separated themselves from the pack from my point of view. Johnson did show a great amount of leadership and earned compliments from the coaching staff for doing so. But there is no clear No. 1 from my view, though any of the four would seem to be an improvement over last season when injuries kept Michael Smith from being all he could be as a senior.

Wingo and Davis also had fumbles.

Davis suffered injured collar bone

Monday, April 26th, 2010

Arkansas head football coach Bobby Petrino said that sophomore running back Knile Davis suffered a broken collar bone in the first half of the Hogs’ Red-White Game last Saturday during a speaking engagement on Monday, according to local TV reports.

Davis had surgery Sunday and is expected to be fully recovered in about a month. Davis injured his ankle early last spring, but returned healthy for the 2009 season.

Freshman quarterback Jacoby Walker appeared to have hyper-extended his knee late in the scrimmage. Petrino said Walker will rehab his knee for a few weeks before it is tested agaill,n.

Red-White Game Recap Part 1: Quarterbacks

Monday, April 26th, 2010
Ross Brown Photo — White quarterback Nick Petrino rears back to pass in Arkansas' spring football game. The Whites won the contest 31-21 on April 24 at Razorbacks Stadium.

Ross Brown Photo — White quarterback Nick Petrino rears back to pass in Arkansas' spring football game. The Whites won the contest 31-21 on April 24 at Razorbacks Stadium.

FAYETTEVILLE — The Arkansas Razorbacks’ Red-White scrimmage last Saturday turned turned out to be a showcase for the Razorbacks’ quarterbacks even though starter and potential Heisman Trophy candidate Ryan Mallett watched from the sidelines as he did all spring.

Mallett foot is expected to be healed by at least mid June and barring another injury he not only is the unquestioned starter under center but also the team’s leader. But, that does not mean his understudies can’t play the game.

Tyler Wilson, Brandon Mitchell, Jacoby Walker and Nick Petrino all acquitted themselves well in the Red-White contest, which the White squad won 31-21.

Wilson, a sophomore, completed 8 of 15 throws for 133 yards and a touchdown, while red-shirt freshman Brandon Mitchell completed 2 of 5 passes for 80 yards, walk-on Petrino was 9 of 17 for 63 yards and true freshman Jacoby Walker was 6 of 11 for 183 yards and two touchdowns.

Behind Mallett, Wilson is the quarterback who is the most ready to play. He has a deeper understanding of the offense, the most accurate arm of the four and the team’s trust. But Mitchell progressed a great deal in the spring and his size (6-3, 230) and natural athletic ability adds a dimension to the offense that neither Mallett nor Wilson can match.

That was evident when he turned a bit of busted play into an 88-yard touchdown. Now, understand, a third-team safety was suckered in on a fake and that allowed Mitchell to go the distance on the run. Things won’t be that easy in SEC play, but Mitchell is an intriguing athlete who is learning how to be a complete quarterback.

The same can be said for Walker, who gave up the second semester of his high school senior year to join the Razorbacks. While Wilson and Mitchell’s play may have suffered a bit by splitting up the teams, Walker’s actually benefited. Walker predominately practiced with the third team in the spring, but got to work with a combination of first- and second-team linemen in the scrimmage and it made a difference. With time to throw, he has a nice arm and like Mitchell has the wheels to make something happen when a play breaks down.

At 5-10, Petrino is a bit small for a SEC quarterback, but his understanding and execution of the offense is nearly on par with Wilson’s. He could play in a pinch, and it would not hinder Arkansas’ play calling at all. That’s saying a lot for a guy who will occupy the fourth spot on the Hogs’ quarterback depth chart behind Mallett, Wilson and Mitchell next fall. In fact, he is ahead of Mitchell in understanding of the offense and execution.

Arkansas’ playable depth at quarterback is a testament to the work done by head coach Bobby Petrino and offensive coordinator and quarterback coach Garrick McGee.

McGee said last week that Arkansas’ program is about developing quarterbacks, and that is evident from watching practice and watching practice and watching the quarterbacks perform.

I would venture to say there is not a program in America that has better coached quarterbacks. That is the reputation Petrino had first as an assistant and later as a head coach. It is that reputation that brought McGee to his coaching staff.

Look out for McGee, too. He will make a fine head coach for a program some day, and it might be soon. A break-out season for the Hogs this year might just do the trick for the Hogs’ impressive offensive coordinator.

Red-White Game on tap for 6 p.m.

Saturday, April 24th, 2010

FAYETTEVILLE — As I’m writing this, moderate to heavy showers are making their way through Northwest Arkansas, but with more than 11 hours until the 6 p.m. start of the Arkansas Razorbacks spring football scrimmage, it should be dry for the festivities.

In fact, the storms should be out of the way by the time RazorFest begins at noon at Razorback Stadium. The charity event benefits a number of children’s charities in the state and features contests and games as well as autograph sessions with former Razorbacks. NCAA regulation prohibit current players from signing at the event, although Arkansas head coach Bobby Petrino will be signing from 1 to 2 p.m.

Tonight’s contest ought to be good. The squads have been split relatively evenly to promote competition and fun from and for the players. Arkansas offensive coordinator Garrick McGee said “a lot” would be on the line in the game, so expect the players to be attempting to win.

Will the contest give fan’s a true indication of where the Hogs’ stand for the 2010 season? Not really, but it will give those on hand or who watch on ESPN3.com a good look at individuals.

What I do believe, though, is that the fact Petrino opted to split the teams instead of continuing to work his starters against his starters this week means he and his staff are fairly happy with the progress made this spring.

For all practical purposes, the hard-nosed portion of spring practice ended with the Hogs scrimmage April 16. The final three practices this week were spent preparing for the spring game rather than the Razorbacks pounding each other for progress, as Petrino has had the Hogs do in his previous two springs.

Certainly, there is work to be done come August. Ryan Mallett needs to get back in the saddle at quarterback, but Petrino believes his junior quarterback made progress by observing and even helping teach on the field while allowing his foot to heal.

Things are not settled on the offensive front in a good way. While the Hogs returned four of its starting five across the offensive front, it is not out of the realm of possibility that a couple of those starters might be beat out before the 2010 season begins or ends.

Back-up guard Alvin Baily and tackle Anthony Oden are physical specimens, who have pushed for starting roles and before all is said and done, they might earn them. This is progress for the program and bodes well for its future under Petrino.

On the defensive side of the ball, the Razorbacks look to be much better at the cornerback position with young players letting their talent take over and older players providing solid leadership and experience. As long as injuries don’t strike too deeply, the Razorbacks will be able to keep fresh corners in the game.

The safety position is in better shape than a year ago, but it is not altogether settled. Expect Rudell Crim, who started quite a bit a corner last season, to remain at safety because of his speed. Tramain Thomas and Elton Ford give the Hogs a solid twosome at free safety and Ross Rasner can play as well. Big, fast Anthony Leon has yet to really click at the position, but he is not a bust at the spot, either. It will be interesting to see if the coaching staff opts to experiment with him at another position or if they feel he has so much time invested at safety that they need to leave him there and get the most out of him they can.

The Razorbacks have no true stars on the defensive front, although junior Jake Bequette could be close at the end spot, but the Hogs are solid at the spot and deeper than they have been since at least 1999. Sophomore D.D. Jones is another lineman who could breakout this season if he can continue to add good bulk in the weight room. He is cat quick, but he can be pushed around a little after dropping about 20 pounds in the off-season.

Middle linebacker remains a concern for the Hogs. Jermaine Love (5-10, 234) had a good spring there as did Terrell Williams (6-3, 237), but until they line up and produce in the SEC, you can’t remove the question mark.

But the biggest trouble spot of the spring remains place kicking. Alex Tejada didn’t have a great spring. He needs to be better in the fall. It’s that simple.

Well, since I started writing the rain has stopped and the forecast calls for less of a chance of precipitation as the day goes on. So, come on out to the Red-White game. It’s the last taste of football until August.
