Mitch Mustain has been granted permission to leave Arkansas. Pretty much saw this one coming after Gus Malzahn decided to join BFF Todd Graham at Tulsa. Does this mean that Mustain will be a Golden 'Cane as well? That remains to be seen, but for my money it will be either there or possibly Michigan, Notre Dame, or Tennessee, which were three schools that he also considered before committing, de-committing, then committing again to Arkansas. Now we'll have to wait and see what happens to the other current Springdalers (Ben Cleveland and Andrew Norman) who also followed Malzahn to the Razorbacks. This thing has officially gotten out of hand. Before all of this hullabaloo, Arkansas was a legit preseason top ten. Don't get me wrong, they will still be good next year with Darren McFadden, Felix Jones, Marcus Monk, and Casey Dick back, but one has to wonder how much all of this turmoil will mess with the current players. The loss of Mustain hurts because he was a star in the making, while we may have seen the best of what Casey Dick has to offer. All of this craziness will certainly affect their status in the Autzen Zoo's post-recruiting top 25 which will be out in February.
