UA takes keen look at JUCOs

FAYETTEVILLE -- Arkansas Coach Bret Bielema said the Razorbacks have tried to sharpen their focus when it comes to landing junior college talent, like they did by signing tight end Jeremy Patton of Arizona Western College and receivers Brandon Martin and Jonathan Nance of Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College last week.

"My time at Wisconsin, I think we signed only one junior college kid, so I was new to that market," Bielema said, before referencing that his first class at Arkansas included a couple of productive junior college players like linebacker Martrell Spaight and punter Sam Irwin-Hill, but also had several misses.
