I was at the Arkansas vs. Alabama game with my cousin this weekend in Arkansas. Jamone Boyd was there by himself without family and I didn't see friends with him either. He was in a white t-sh#t and black shorts while a lot of other recruits had families with them and were in Arkansas gear. Jamone walked right past me a few times. He is a physical specimen. He stood out on the sidelines amongst the other recruits as being way more physically ready to go than the others. We thought he was an NFL linebacker at first because he has that build.
Anyways... a few notes. Arkansas has their recruits go to the stands before their tunnel entrance. Their entrance is not very exciting and players don't get locker room or field interaction like they do at Nebraska. He didn't seem to be having a great time. Basically he was stuck in the middle of a bunch of white kids who looked like they were 15. He was pretty quiet and very mannerly, letting others go first and saying yes ma'am and no sir. Arkansas was down 38-0 at halftime and by the 3rd quarter a large majority of fans had left. So half the game he was sitting there in a pretty empty, dead quiet stadium. Though Arkansas fans are loud and lively... they do leave games early A LOT. Arkansas ended up having about 20,000 fans left at the end of the game. It was pretty bad. I didn't hear anyone call out Jamone's name either... a lot of fans didn't know who he was. Whereas at Nebraska you always hear recruits saying they are amazed at people knowing their names.
anywho... I just thought it was interesting.
