Looking at Wednesday’s signees — including junior college and prep school athletes — here’s a snapshot of the talent produced by the state of Arkansas in 2013 (as graded by Rivals.com):
5-stars = 0
4-stars = 2
3- stars = 8
Total 3+ stars = 10
Here’s where the state’s 10 highest-ranked players are headed:
Arkansas = 7
Alabama = 1
La-Lafayette = 1
Tulsa = 1
Loyalty: Bret Bielema kept seven of the 10 best players in the state at home, but when there’s so little high-end talent available, that’s really a necessity.
