Arkansas Linebacker AJ Turner announced today that he will enroll at ASU in January to complete his transfer. He started 6 games as a True Freshman at Arkansas and was voted Freshman All SEC.

He'll have two years to play two if he sits out. We'll apply on the off chance of a hardship, which would give him three years of eligibility, since he sat out this season with an injury.

Turner almost feels like righting a wrong. He was a known ASU fan, but was the #2 rated player in Arkansas (4 star recruit) and chose to sign with Arkansas

I hope he is as good as some say he is because we need so LB depth.

We've got a ton at LB next year.

Yeah, we were already deep at LB.

Sounds like a good player that contributed at Arkansas. Why is he transferring?

Injured his wrist and missed this year and Bulima at Arkansas likes a different kind of LB.

Arkansas is in the middle of a massive rebuild. Turner wanted to get out.

So if Bulima goes 3-9 against next year, will Arkansas fire him and rehire Patrino???

If Bulima goes 3-9 next year, he'd be a goner. Heck 3-9 isn't given with Arkansas schedule next year. They play Texas Tech and Northern Illinois in OOC play, and play the entire SEC West plus Georgia and Missouri.

They open at Auburn.
