What makes new University of Arkansas football Coach Sam Pittman one of the nation's top recruiters?
Ken and Brigid Skipper, the parents of former Arkansas offensive tackle Dan Skipper, looked at Pittman more like a family member than a coach.
Dan Skipper started 47 of 51 games as a Razorback, and was a two-time All-SEC performer. He was highly recruited out of Arvada (Colo.) Ralston Valley before signing with the Hogs over Ohio State, Tennessee, Ole Miss and Michigan in 2013.
Ken, Brigid and Dan visited numerous schools during the recruiting process, but Pittman made the decision an easy one for the Skippers.
