Hudson Henry’s commitment Thursday has moved Arkansas into the Top 20 in most recruiting rankings, but that can’t be the best for Chad Morris at Arkansas.

Some fans may not particularly like that statement, but the coaches will understand it and the guess here is Morris and his staff agrees with it.

Henry’s pledge moved the Razorbacks to No. 19 in the 247Sports.com composite rankings, No. 23 at ESPN.com and all the way up to No. 12 in the Rivals national rankings.

It wouldn’t be surprising to see the Hogs land more talent for the 2019 class, which is considered one of the best for the school in years.

That ranking is not where Morris and this staff want to be. They are shooting higher, but they didn’t exactly walk into a situation that had years of highly-ranked recruiting classes.

No, they are building and this class is evidence this staff is willing to work at the recruiting game.

With 22 commitments now, they may be able to add two or three more, but there are some indications via offers that they are already working hard on the 2020 class.
