How will the hire of new Arkansas Razorback head coach John L. Smith play with Texas high school football coaches? Not well, if the frosty attitude toward friend and predecessor Bobby Petrino is any indication.

Jamel James, a four-star running back from Katy (TX) Cinco Ranch has decommitted from Arkansas, leaving the Razorbacks with zero 2013 commitments in the wake of the Bobby Petrino scandal.

Even under former head coach Bobby Petrino, the Arkansas Razorbacks were hardly a recruiting power. To become one, AD Jeff Long should target a coach who can recruit the state of Texas.

While Arkansas' doesn't have much to lose with its 2013 recruiting class, it will struggle to finish strong.
