Survived last year, I'll definitely be there this year.

Father Guido

Anderson says we'll get to find out what we've got.  Nothing like jumping into the fire.  Talk about the "Luck of the Draw"  :P   Love Mike's attitude.

Coach Venny Slocombe

For the first time in ten years or so I am Stoked about Razorback basketball...

Romeo

Per recruiting analyst Jerry Meyer, Mike Anderson gets his first commitment. Dederick Lee out of Clarksville has committed to Arkansas. 4 star player, class of 2013.

MA

Dederick committed to Arkansas? Already?? Wow... thats super early... But i'm super excited about it if it is true. Ive seen that kid play a lot over the years and he is an absolute baller! We need to keep an eye on his brothers too! They may be a little undersized but they are very talented. And Mugsy Boughs was their size as a full grown NBA player hahaha That still blows my mind. They will grow tho. Arkansas just needs to round up all the Lee's. That family just keeps spitting out players!

You mean you don't know? Really? He is currently MA's top assistant at Arkansas...Mike was quoted as saying that nobody in America has his knowledge...lol...

UA basketball will lose one scholarship next season due to poor APR rating: http://www.4029tv.com/r/28010809/detail.html

Romeo

Pending approval from the commish, SEC will do away with basketball divisions and seed the tournament 1-12.

He was one of the few left that I hoped would work well in MA's system. Good luck to the young man.

Brian G

It's been my understanding that there would two released.  GB and one more.  GB was pretty much decided weeks ago.  This next one might surprise a few.

Romeo

Honestly it wouldn't surprise me if anyone on the team decided to transfer. None of them are used to or ready for the level of work and conditioning Anderson expects.

RATTLER43

... and defensive responsibilities demanded of them.

Romeo

Jeff Peterson officially released from scholarship.

Not surprising he never seemed comfortable in Pel system (he wasn't the only one) so I doubt he would ever get use to MA's.  Losing Bryant hurts more!

Uncle Ivan


DerekOxford

I had been putting my money on Nobles because I had heard he wasn't having a good attitude towards the conditioning drills, but I guess he's going to tough it out. I also don't see Marvell Waithe staying, but nothing concrete has been heard about him either.

AirWarren

Weed them out if we have to. MA's dynasty starts by building his program with his coaching mentality and attitude.

The ones who truly want to stay and buy into the system will be the ones who drive us back to the top.

Jeff Peterson is a very good guy. Sad to see him good. He isn't leaving for negative reasons... He just is ready to move on in his life. Very smart. Will make bank in the real world.

AirWarren

I wish him the best. Good to see kids open a new chapter in their lives that will lead to prosperity. Good luck to him.

SingleWingGuru

uConn will slobberknock UofA...

but you know what, I'm still gonna do everything in my power to get to this game.

I said uofa wouldn't get any of my money with failfry, but they are gonna get tons of it with MA.

I believe you are correct. The last time we played Michigan they had ineligible players like Tractor Traylor and Maceo Baston so technically we've won the last two meetings with them.

Romeo

MA definitely scheduling some quality opponents.

Mike Anderson is already making a splash. Glad to have him, but I hope the players can sow now and reap a huge harvest come conference play! Mike Knows what he's doing so call those Hogs LOUD & PROUD IN NWA!!

DerekOxford

I'm pretty sure they've set October 14 as the date for Midnight Madness.

Romeo

More confirmed non-conference games:

11/11: South Carolina Upstate
11/30: Mississippi Valley State

Romeo

Mike Anderson picks up a commitment today for LR Hall forward Bobby Portis 6-8, 205. Listed as a four star player on scout.

Extremely long and runs the floor pretty well. He'll fit the system.

6 national TV games

not bad at all

the Michigan games has  CBS written all over it
I doubt the game at Oklahoma will be national but who knows

Romeo

Oklahoma game will probably be on the razorback network.

AirWarren

So ready for the Anderson era to begin!

Smithian

This will be a fun season. My friends and I made the trip to every home game but one last season(plus TAMU game in Dallas) so it will be fun doing it again but in a jam packed arena this season.

Can't wait.

Football.

Smithian

Obviously will be at football again this season.

And if anyone steals food out of my hands like last season, we may have issues. I have a tendency to get aggressive when my food is threatened.

Archie Goodwin just announced on twitter that he's thinking about making his decision in a week or two rather than next spring. Not sure if its a good thing or bad thing. Arkansas had a in-home visit last Friday. Memphis visited him today. Kentucky is visiting him tomorrow.

Romeo

Twitter from Archie Goodwin tonight indicates he may announce a decision tomorrow.
