Bobby Petrino's 2nd Annual Best Recruiting Class of All Time

Rivals.com has the Razorbacks with the 15th best recruiting class in the nation, and we all know what that means, don't we? Absolutely nothing. The one minor problem with having the 15th best class overall if you're into this sort of thing is that it still ranks as only 6th best in the SEC.

So, let's take a look at Petrino's 2nd annual best recruiting class of all-time (height, weight, 40 yd. times included):

Apparently, the jewel of the class is 5 star recruit Darius Winston out of West Helena.


Dude just has a cool name so that has to be at least half a star right there. Let me try it out for you a few times... "Darius Winston with the interception!" "Darius Winston in on the tackle!" Darius Winston is our BCS Championship player of the game." "Darius Winston has been stopped and charged with possession of marijuana and driving under the influence." Wait, strike that last one. That'll never happen. You know why? Because Darius Winston will be too busy laying the wood to every good wide receiver in the league, baby. I just like saying "Darius Winston." Rolls off the tongue just like his play in the secondary - very smooth.

Down at the bottom is the full list and all the stuff about weight, height, slamming a beer times, etc., but right now, I'm going with some important stuff like...

Coolest name: Darius Winston is right up there, but since he is the 5 star stud, I'm going to go with - Rudell Crim (Butler County C.C. in Kansas).



I like the name Rudell, and Crim is a cool last name. He's a defensive back, so the first time he levels a receiver or running back and lays him out, he could be "The Crimpler." C'mon, work with me. His gang of buddies in the secondary could be The Crimps. Alright, I'll quit.

I don't know who posts these photos of players on here, but if I were Terrell, I wouldn't want a picture of me with eyes that looked like I had just spent some quality time with Michael Phelps at a campus party somewhere.
