Arkansas still recruiting for 2017 season

FAYETTEVILLE — Even though the most recent recruiting class now numbers 27 — 24 scholarship signees and three blue shirts — Arkansas head football coach Bret Bielema said last week that he likely is not done adding players to the roster for next season.

“Probably one of the more entertaining parts of my job is just keeping in touch with our roster,” Bielema said. “We have 85 scholarship players on our roster and 120 total on our roster, so 35 non-scholarship players.

“That is still kind of moving and bobbing. I had a couple of guys come in and one thing we warned these guys coming back is that we are not going to do anything to make this winter anything more than it needs to be, but if you are not mentally and physically ready to work then don’t come (back).
