#1 High School football recruit Dorial Green-Beckham announced on ESPNU Wednesday morning his intent to sign with the University of Missouri instead of with the Arkansas Razorbacks.

Green-Beckham, a wide receiver from Springfield, Mo., was one of the nation's most wanted prospects. Green-Beckham stands at 6"6 and 220 pounds, and has impressive stats, with a national record of 6,447 receiving yards and 75 touchdowns during his career at Hillcrest, Mo.

Missouri's Gary Pinkel visited Green-Beckham via helicopter but until his Wednesday morning announcement, it was unknown where he planned to sign.

Tis is why Mizzou was ready to accept the invite to the SEC. It will now get better recruits. If Mizzou wasnt now in the SEC, he would have come to Arkansas, no doubt.

Thats his home state and he is on the Mizzou high right now, i wonder if he will feel the same in a couple of years when they are 4-8 in the SEC.I say welcome Mizzou & A & M time for some smash mouth football all they have to do is look at the Kansas state team at the end of the Cotton Bowl to know what they are in for (an ice bath).GO HOGS!!!!!!!!

This is not really a huge loss for Arkansas. We need to sign some defensive backs. We are o.k. this year for receivers. I hope he continues his great career at Mizzou.
