Garnet And Black Attack, a South Carolina Gamecocks community

With top players coming through the state over the next few years, and schools like Alabama already offering some of them, Bret Bielema knows securing the in-state talent in Arkansas will be a challenge. And succeeding in that challenge will be vital to his success at Arkansas.

Winston and Philon went to the same high school in Mobile, Ala, and now both are on the two-deep as redshirt freshman on the Hogs' defensive line. Mark Inabinett of al.com wrote a nice feature on the pair as they discuss developing in the Arkansas program, dealing with the coaching change, and enjoying spring practice.

Bielema spoke to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution recently and touched on all those topics and more. Most of this link is written in a Q&A format, so you see Bielema elaborate on these topics. Interesting to see his recruiting philosophy regarding the state of Georgia. I'm sure the question was raised since this is the Atlanta paper, but it's the first time we remember Bielema discussing Georgia recruiting this bluntly.
