Pittman preparing for future hurdles

FAYETTEVILLE -- Sam Pittman has made the mental adjustment.

Instead of fretting about not being in the midst of the Razorbacks' third practice of spring drills Friday as previously scheduled, the first-year University of Arkansas coach focused on what he can control during the early stages of the coronavirus pandemic.

"We have concentrated more on recruiting, including 2022 kids, and the well-being of our players and our families," Pittman said on a Friday teleconference. "Just making sure we're communicating with them on a daily basis."

Pittman said Friday was the first day the football coaching staff didn't have a preassigned morning meeting time at the Smith Football Center.
