The latest episode of As The Piggy Turns has us learning that all-everything quarterback Mitch Mustain re-enrolling at Arkansas.
This is probably not a move indicating a return to the Razorback team as Mustain has asked for and received permission to seek a transfer. Thus, holding pattern on the runway to leave the Razorback program.
He has been rumored to be looking at three schools (Tulsa, Louisville and Oklahoma), according to the Arkansas Traveler. The Wizard of Odds expands that list to UTEP and Texas Tech but notes several schools have backed off.
It appears you can scratch Louisville and Oklahoma off Mitch Mustain's list. The quarterback, who earlier this week was given his release by Arkansas, was told Thursday by Cardinals coach Steve Kragthorpe that he wasn't welcome.Slim pickings, eh? The responsibility for the mess at Arkansas cannot be completely laid at the feet of Mustain but other major programs are giving him that safe distance of a man far more guilty than has been documented. Interesting.
"Due to widespread media speculation, the University of Louisville is not interested in recruiting Mitch Mustain," Kragthorpe said.
And a report out of Norman said Oklahoma had closed the door on Mustain becoming a Sooner.

Why didn't we recruit Mitch's Mom. She seems to be the balls behind the "boy" anyway.

If Mitch doesn't stay, then he's either an idiot or a mommie's boy, not a man. The Razorbacks have the best running backs, which opens up defenses for the pass. National Championship team feasible, and greatness. Nobody would love him like Arkansas fans. Newly hired Dallas Cowboys quarterback coach is known to develop quarterbacks into greatness, and will be calling the plays next year, not Nutt. Mitch's barrier to greatness is growing up and stopping to be a spoiled mommie's boy. What team would want a kid like that? He may become a big fish in a small pond. Maybe play for a passing team, against passing defenses, and get injured.

Ya'll don't know what the heck you're talking about. Houston Nutt should be in jail for what he's done at Arkansas. Promises were made by the AD which Nutt had no intention of keeping. Not least of these was the promise to red shirt Mustain. The coaching staff fillet'ed Mustain and the OC who recruited him (his HS coach). And the much publicized meeting between the parents and the AD had nothing to do with playing time, etc., but rather the specific promises that were broken. Mustain entered college as a definite NFL hopeful and now his future is a mess. He had to leave. Personally, I hope to see him at USC. I think we could use him, and PC's the sort of class coach who can develop him.
