FAYETTEVILLE -- Chad Morris' second December signing period promises to be more transformative than his first as the University of Arkansas football coach.
Morris and his staff welcomed a group of 20 new players who signed national letters of intent Wednesday on the first day of the early signing period, which lasts through Friday. The Razorbacks might add another couple of players in this period, and expect to have 29 signees by the end of the February signing period.
While the bottom-line improvements in Arkansas football will be best judged next fall when the Razorbacks try to rebound from a 2-10 season, Wednesday's talent haul was an important step in the recovery through relentless recruiting.
