Well, after two weeks of vacation, I have returned to work feeling refreshed and in the mood to make some phone calls. Of course, it might take me a few days to get back into the swing of writing.

  Anyway, I thought I’d drop a post on the blog regarding Ronnie Wingo, who’s a four-star running back recruit being pursued by Arkansas’ coaches. I spoke with the St. Louis native before Arkansas’ impressive win over No. 7 Texas on Tuesday night.

  Wingo will take an official visit to Arkansas this weekend. He’s expected to arrive Friday afternoon, and the Razorbacks hope to make a good impression on the record-breaking running back.

  “I just want to go down there and really have a good time, just meet some new people that I didn’t meet the first time I went down there,” Wingo said of his upcoming trip to Fayetteville. “Just enjoy myself and be around players.”

  Wingo said he plans to take all five of his official visits. Arkansas will be the third school he visits following his trips to Kansas and Missouri. He’s also considering the idea of taking an official visit to either  Alabama, Minnesota or Tennessee.

  Wingo said he’s gotten close to Arkansas running backs coach Tim Horton and quarterbacks coach Garrick McGee, who are recruiting the 6-foot-3, 212-pound former prep star. Wingo described his relationship with the coaches as “great.”

  Look for my story on Wingo in Sunday’s edition of The Morning News. In the meantime, it’s back to work for me. When does my next vacation start?
