Arkansas just wrapped up the 2011 season ranked No. 5 for on-field performance. Most college football analysts expect the Razorbacks to begin 2012 in the Top 10.
National recruiting rankings weren't so favorable.
Only Scout.com ranked the Razorbacks among the Top 25 nationally for Wednesday's 24-man signing class. No service that ranks conference recruiting standings put Arkansas in the top half of the league.
It is worth noting that Arkansas has routinely been on the outside looking in among signing day elite. Still, Coach Bobby Petrino has developed the talent on hand into teams capable of going 21-5 the last two seasons.
