We need our own distinct identity separate from the rest of the West, otherwise we're doomed to always be below the other programs.

Makes perfect sense to me.
I don't think it will work, just that it could. I'd echo thoughts earlier in the thread that he's just too conservative. But maybe he'll have an easier time recruiting at Arkansas than he did at Wisconsin. Who knows. Or maybe he'll even take a different approach, and not be as conservative.
