FAYETTEVILLE — New University of Arkansas football Coach Sam Pittman got the call he was desperately wanting a little before midnight on the eve of the early signing day Dec. 17.
Myles Slusher, a safety from Broken Arrow, Okla., and an early enrollee, was calling to give him the head’s up on his signing day plan.
“He called me, and usually if they call you at 11:45, it’s not to tell you they’re going to go someplace else,” Pittman said on signing day to describe his elation at getting that commitment. “Last night when he told me, it was a great get for the university because he’s such a good kid, too.
