Plantation ((FL)) High RB Alex Collins committed to Arkansas on "The New College Football Show: Next Class" Monday night on Fox Sports Net around the country.
Here was the moment and the discussion...
But... and this is a big "BUT..." Tuesday, his mother said that she wanted to be at the signing ceremony at the high school, Alex said it would be okay to be there.
This morning, according to OSG sources, Alex's mom created a scene before the ceremony at the school and, during all of the emotion, runs off with the Letter of Intent and now can't be found. Our sources say that the letter has already signed, but not faxed to Arkansas.
During the 4-letter coverage, anchor Rece Davis asked new head coach Bret Bielema asked about Collins...

Collins is 18, so he can be a (somewhat) emancipated signee, but the rest of the Ess-E-Cee would like to welcome Bielema to the 'cruitin' world...

Shocker: Bielema leaves Wisconsin for Arkansas
Wow! Really didn't see this one coming.
It appears that the University of Arkansas is going to get a surprise football coaching hire after all.
Sources tell OSG Sports that the school has hired now former Wisconsin head coach Brett Bielema to replace the departed John L. Smith.
Bielema is coming off of one his worst seasons in Madison at 8-5, though they did win the Big 10 title game and will play in the Rose Bowl after annihilating Nebraska 70-21.
Bielema, an Iowa grad, had been the head coach at Wisconsin since 2006, his 1st head coaching job and has a 68-24 record.
Our Thoughts:
Preliminary reports seem to indicate most serious SEC writers and fans are laughing at the choice. Though we suspect Arkansas will trumpet this as the greatest move in coaching history.
Bielema has been a very traditional "Big 10" style, grind it out coach. That style has shown little to no success in most Big 10 vs. SEC match ups.
And while yes, the move is a bit of a surprise, we are quite curious to see how he does in a job where the school has incredibly high, albeit mostly unrealistic expectations. The Razorbacks have been a middle to upper middle SEC team, we aren't very sure that this hire will (a) excite the fanbase or (b) make the rest of the SEC concerned the Razorbacks are going to run them down.
