2nd hand Recruitment Story at U of Arkansas

[UARKmom]

My daughter is also rushing at UARK so I enjoyed reading your story. The so-called 'dead week' is killing us too. I'm also from out-of-state and trying to decide if I should be there for bid day. Do you know if they call moms to tell them the bids first?

I can't speak for recruitment at Arkansas, but I have never heard of the parent(s) being called to tell you if your daughter got a bid.

No. They most definitely do not call moms...for anything. If you can be there, next weekend, I would go. Bid day has turned into an event and lots of moms are there. It is a nice way to check in on your daughter and console or congratulate as the case may be.

Good luck to your daughter! and GO HOGS!

Of course they do not call the mothers first!!

The mothers were not the ones going through recruitment!

Geesh!

@UARKmom - yes - if at all possible, go to bid day. Read my reply to MomofPNM11. I was there - it is a milestone memory I will cherish forever.
