Progrums

Brian Kelly’s office has reportedly transformed into a high-tech recruiting war room, complete with mood lighting and a snack bar stocked with enough Cheetos to feed a small nation. The object of desire? A linebacker who, just yesterday, pledged his undying allegiance to the Arkansas Razorbacks—until the firing of coach Sam Pittman turned loyalty into “subject to change” status. Sources say Kelly has ramped up his courtship with a barrage of personalized Snapchat filters and late-night group texts labeled “Operation Flip or Flop.” Meanwhile, the embattled Razorbacks are left standing by the recruiting buffet, wondering how quickly a one-time commitment can be returned for store credit. As Kelly’s staff feverishly updates their recruitment infographic—complete with pie charts predicting “Likelihood of Ghosting” and “Number of Free T-Shirts Required”—fans on both sides can only sit back and watch the recruiting carousel spin faster than ever.
