10/11/06: The Arkansas recruiting class was ranked #10 in the country by BaseballAmerica. Their comment: Todd and Welker highlight the nation's strongest group of junior-college transfers. The 6-foot-6 Welker is the key for Arkansas--he has the power arm and stuff to pitch in the weekend rotation behind Nick Schmidt and Shaun Seibert, but he needs to harness his command. If Welker holds down a starting role, the Razorbacks can move Todd to the closer spot, where his 90-94 mph fastball and 84-87 slider will make him devastating. Keuchel is Arkansas' top incoming freshman, a polished lefty who should pitch right away in some role.

Craig Gentry was #3, Blake Parker was #7 and Daryl Maday was #8. Arkansas signee Murray Watts was #6. What they said: First baseman Danny Hamblin profiled better as a third baseman, the position he played before damaging his right shoulder on a slide as a freshman in 2004. His arm strength hasn't come back since surgery that offseason, though he's athletic enough to possibly play the outfield as a pro. He's a solid athlete with power and speed. If Hamblin signs, his replacement at first base for the Razorbacks will be imposing 6-foot-7, 250 pound Murray Watts. Watts has tremendous lefthanded power potential and runs well for his size.
Outfielder Craig Gentry offers an impressive physical package. He's 6-foot-2, 190-pounder with speed, raw power and center-field skills. He should go in the sixth to 10th round as a senior sign.
