I thought Anderson was gonna be the man at Arkansas?

I don't think you can say the guy's a bust after an 18 win first season that ended on the Wednesday of the SECT. Likewise, you can't say he's going to win here either. The facts are that he inherited a team with 1 good player returning and one (maybe 2) SEC quality player in the incoming class (BJ Young and possibly Mickelson). In the second week of the season, the 1 good returning player got injured for the rest of the season. Oh, and remember, due to the previous coach's mismanagement of the roster and the low APR scores, we were already down a scholarship before the only other returning scoring threat decided to quit. Starting the season with 9 scholarship players and losing one to injury - the BEST one - is not what any coach wants to see - especially a coach who likes to play 94 feet for the full 40 minutes. Coach A has to improve recruiting and put some real players on the court. I'm not inspired by the class he has signed so far, but I certainly don't think it's appropriate to pass judgment on him at this point. His track record has shown that he has gotten it done and made deep runs into the NCAAT by his third year. He will get at least that much time to do it here as well.
