What is funny is Mike was being blasted in the media for having to pull an offer to a kid because he didn't have an open scholly on the team during the off-season before his final year at Mizzou.
So Mizzou went from a full roster to a depleted roster because of Haith's decision to take transfers instead of recruit, that was Haith's decision to handle the roster in that matter not Mike's.
This really makes no sense. When Haith took the job in 2012, Anderson left him with a roster that would have had only 3 scholarship players coming back for the 2013 season. Haith proceeded to add several talented transfers in Alex Oriahki, Jabari Brown, Earnest Ross etc, and after going 30-5 and making the NCAA tournament with Anderson's senior class in 2012, Haith took his group of transfers and made the NCAA tournament AGAIN in 2013. Haith did not deplete the roster, he took a vacant roster and turned it into an NCAA tournament team in one year's worth of recruiting.

Funny how Mike inherited a worst situation than Haith, roster and program wise from Pelphrey, yet in the same amount of time has been able to add stability to the roster for the first time in 7 years and improve the talent level on the roster while having to suffer APR sanctions due to the previous two HCs.
Funnier still that Haith went to the NCAA tournament twice in that time span at Mizzou while Anderson and Arkansas have continued to wallow in NIT-or-worse mediocrity every single year. Funnier still how Haith won 75% of his games against Anderson in that span with the lone loss coming by 2 points or so on a controverial home cookin' call at Arky. There's nothing objectively or subjectively that can rate Anderson's performance at Arky as better in any way than Haith's performance at Mizzou, just nothing. Haith made NCAA tournaments and raised conference trophies. Anderson's done none of that at Arky in the same time period.
You defend CMA staunchly, which is brave and loyal, and I'm not sure if that makes you unusual for Arky fans or if your fanbase as a whole is just back in offseason rose colored glasses mode.

Arkansas' record has gotten better every year with Anderson, Mizzou's got worse every year with Haith.

You ignored what was stated.
Anderson didn't have any open spots, had to pull a scholly and was blasted for it in the media. That isn't a depleted roster.
Haith chose to take transfers instead of recruit and develop players that is on him, not Anderson.

Haith took over a Mizzou program in their glory years, was on an eventual school streak for NCAA appearances and had recently reached the program's pinnacle, the elite 8.
Arkansas' program was closer to the program Mike inherited at Mizzou from Snyder, but in a worse situation due to APR penalties that had the program close to a loss in practice time and post season ban instead of just a lost scholarship. At that time the starting PG was ineligible for play and was eventually dismissed for academic reasons.
Anderson built Mizzou back up after Snyder's fumbling of the program, which is exactly what he had to do at Arkansas, no one was expecting immediate results with the talent level of the roster he inherited combined with the inablilty to immediately restructure the roster due to the APR. He had to keep 2 guards who would have been given the boot because they were on track and did eventually graduate. The program is just now to the point where players can be told to transfer to seek playing time.
To try to say Arkansas' program was in a similar shape to Mizzou's at the time of Anderson's change in job is silly.
