First-year recruiting classes for University of Arkansas football coaches since the inception of recruiting services have had their own unique challenges.
Former coaches Bobby Petrino, Bret Bielema and Chad Morris, and current Coach Sam Pittman were the ones tasked with navigating the obstacles.
Petrino inherited the most stable situation when he arrived in Fayetteville after Houston Nutt's 10-year run ended with a 75-48 record that included the 50-48, three-overtime victory over LSU that ended Nutt's tenure.
National recruiting analyst Tom Lemming hosts The Lemming Report on CBS Sports Network, and Nutt is one of his co-hosts.
