UPDATE and unconfirmed Springdale Alum (Gus, you are slacking off) WR Damian Williams to transfer, others stay including Mitch.
For our Bama readers: This is a copy of a email from Mitch Mustain’s Mother to the media. This is like exclusive shit or something. A prudent man would treat this post like pristine driven snow.

The nexus is that this highly embarrassing for the Arkansas program. I guess the Springdale parents really thought that Gus Mahlzahn was hired as an offensive coordinator? PW3ned or whatever…

The Springdale bunch don’t seem very happy
Mitchell has been very proud to be a part of this team and we have all been extremely proud of the success of the entire team this season. It has been a true honor to be associated with kids of their caliber and he has been blessed to have teammates who have grown to respected him and who have supported him in light of the expections under which he entered this program.
Mitchell has never had a concern regarding playing time, either during his tenor as a starting quarterback or during his time as a back-up quarterback. Casey and he have always been supportive of each other and have always
encouraged one another as players and friends. His greatest conflict at this very moment is his love, respect and admiration he has for his teammates and the devotion he feels towards the program and his state. With regards to our appointment with Coach Broyles this past Thursday, this meeting was to be private and we had no intention and made no effort to make
it public. I was there strictly to discuss my personal experiences over the course of the season and seeking the truth about issues that were of concern.
I made it very clear at the first of the meeting that I was not there seeking assurances, promises, or guarantees about the future of the program. There was never discussion by any parent regarding the playing time of any player. We discussed matters that would be of any concern to a freshman
parent such as academics and curfews. Several of these matters had already been addressed with members of the staff and had not been resolved. Since the football program controls those aspects of our child’s lives I felt it appropriate to address those issues with the head of the program. I discussed as well my concerns regarding Mitchell’s future as a football
player. However, they were confined to my perception of the desire and the ability of this program to develop his skills and abilities in a manner which would provide him with the best opportunity to succeed on the field in order to help his team succeed at the highest level.
It was agreed by all party’s involved that the head coach has the valid right to determine the direction of the program and the manner in which the team would develop.
I would like the fans of Arkansas to understand that Mitchell has dedicated his heart and soul to this team and has worked diligently to represent this team in a postive manner. He loves his teammates, and he feels a deep sense of regret and sadness that his prescence on this team has created a division
in a state he loves.
I personally want to apologize for any role I may have played in the division that has been created and any reflection my behaior may have had on the team and my son. As a parent, I have always encouraged and supported my children in managing their own relationships. However, I truly believed, in
light of many issues that had come to light over the course of the season, Mitchell needed the support of his family and friends in seeking the truth regarding the direction of the program in general and his role as a Razorback.
