re: Official Game Thread: Arkansas 54 @ Florida 71 l Final

Bell is a freshman and I think was a bit overwhelmed at the start of the season. He was recruited for his outside shot and he has shown it the last two games. Clarke, Bell, Qualls, Williams are all first year players. Adding Portis, Kingsley, and Harris next year will give us the missing pieces IMO. All bigs who can move.

I guess the promise with our team is we are young. Everyone is eligible to return. I don't expect Young to be back and I think Powell takes a contract over seas, but we still return Haydar, Wade, Madden, Clarke, Qualls, Gulley, Williams, Mickelson, Bell, and add Harris, Portis, and Kingsley.

Anderson is slowly getting his squad together here.

Really reminds me of Nolan's first couple of years here. Nolan went 12-20 in conference his first two seasons and made the NIT his second season going 19-14 overall. Nolan then went 112-26 in conference play over the next 7 seasons as he got his players in place.

I doubt we get those same results, but Anderson is building this thing the same way.
