And word has hit the recruiting and message boards that Pulaski Academy wide receiver Neil Barlow, the lanky 6-6 target, has chosen Kansas over the Hogs and other offers. A month ago, it was whispered around Pulaski Academy that Kansas was out of the picture. Bad whispers, it seems. It also looked favorable for Arkansas to gain the commitment from the son of former North Carolina basketball guard Jeb Barlow. Alas, another in-state setback for first-year Arkansas football coach Bobby Petrino, who hasn't coached his first game yet.
Getting an Arkansas kid that the Hogs wanted? I'll take it!

Barlow was recruited by
MU, Arkansas, North Carolina, LSU (although there might not have been an actual scholarship offer) and a handful of other schools, namely Tulsa.
LSU is coming off a national championship. Arkansas is the hometown team. Both of his parents went to North Carolina, including his dad who was teammates with Michael Jordan on the basketball team. And Missouri is, supposedly, a “better program”.
And over all that, he chose Kansas. Wow.
Well, a WR should be happy to come to KU. We run a spread offense that gives WR’s lots of chances to touch the ball. We have an All-American level QB who is only a true JR and is likely to stay all 4 years. There isn’t a lot of top WR talents on our team, so if he is really good enough to be recruited by some big name schools, he could factor into the WR rotation early.
