In-state crop even better than advertised

Arkansas' 2019 in-state class has been highly anticipated for a couple of years, but it might be even better than most expected.

For several months, followers of recruiting in the Natural State knew the 2019 crop centered around 'The Big Three' of four-star targets Treylon Burks of Warren, Hudson Henry of Pulaski Academy and Darius Thomas of Jonesboro.

Burks became an Arkansas target as a freshman and has held his offer from the Razorbacks for almost two years now. Henry officially announced his scholarship from the Hogs in February of 2017, and Thomas got his almost exactly one month after Henry.

Those three alone were enough for us to call 2019 a very important year for the Hogs -- especially considering the state of Arkansas had never before produced three Rivals100 prospects in the same year -- but here we are a year later and the list of offered targets has doubled in size.
