Without Beard Non-Conference 10-3 / Conference 8-10

[poloprince]

Leggo  :razorback:

22+ wins

[hobhog]

16 wins would be my guess. Good schedule but need some suprises out of somebody on roster as depleted as we are if expect anything more.

Leggo  :razorback:

I went a bit optimistic with my picks.  I'm thinking anywhere from 18-20 Regular season wins with Beard.  Without Beard I'm going 16-18. 

Also FWIW, a guy on a pay board that claims to be in the know says he's hearing Beard will be back, but suspended a few games.  Don't know how credible that guy is or not.

I need some time to think about things before I post my predictions (which I made without Beard being on the team). Just couldn't believe the total when I got done.

Overall: 16-15
Non-conference: 9-4
SEC: 7-11
Road/Neutral: 2-11
Home: 14-4

This is all operating under the assumption that Beard won't be with the team. Originally, I came out with 14 wins. As negative as you guys like to say I am, I can't bring myself to predict a losing season. With that said, 16 wins is pretty low, but there are a number of "swing games" in my predictions. We're gonna win a game or two that we shouldn't and probably lose a game or two that we shouldn't. For road/neutral court games, Tennessee, Alabama, Missouri, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Wake Forest, and even Mississippi State are winnable. I'm feeling like we might go back to the road performances of old, though. We'll see. Conversely, we could drop several more home games. Mercer could absolutely beat us at Verizon. North Florida should be tough (4 of their top 5 scorers return). Who knows about Texas Tech? I could see Auburn coming in and winning at BWA. Same with Miss State and maybe South Carolina.

But, all told, I think we'll come out around 16 games without Anton Beard. With him? We could get 18-19 wins. If we catch a couple big breaks, maybe we get up into the low 20s, but it doesn't seem like we get many big breaks. If we ended the season with 18 or 19 wins, I'd be very relieved and encouraged for the 2016-2017 and talent infusion that it should bring.

This is what I expected. We will have to wait for the court date and for all that to roll out.

[azhog10]

What I don't understand is how we get Florida at Florida for two years in a row? We didn't play them twice last year, and I thought the way it normally rotated was a home and home, then you play either home or away, and the third year you get a return trip or have to go to their place. Not a home and home, away, and away. Should have been home and home, away, and then home.

It seems we got the shaft having to go there two years in a row with no return trip whatsoever.

Edit: I see we have Vandy at home again. We played them at home last year with no return trip.

Same with Georgia.

I think the scheduling rotation reset when they added additional permanent rivals for this season.

Yeah, we have Vandy at home again this year as well. Yeah, it seems it should be easy to figure out but I guess there will always be a couple games that could go either way.

I'm not going to complain, it actually worked out in our favor.  Vandy is going to be really tough this season.  I rather play them at Bud Walton this year rather than @Vandy, that's already a tough place to play anyway.  And Florida, they are going through a rebuild, so you get a weaker than normal Florida team on the road.

And if you look at the schedule, we actually got a lot of the lesser teams on the road.  So, while we don't have the best roster in the world, some of these teams that's going through a coaching change, we may be able to steal a few.  I got us stealing one from Alabama, Mizzou, and Tennessee in my prediction.

[jry04]

No matter how many times I go over the schedule, with or without Beard, I cannot see us winning any less than 16, and anymore than 19.

I am thinking 17-13 overall.

10-3 in the non-conference, and 7-11 in conference.

Actually, prior to last season, Florida went to BWA three straight seasons (2011-2012, 2012-2013 and 2013-2014) http://www.gatorzone.com/schedule.php?sport=baskm&year=2013

I only see 12-13 wins I feel decent about. Quite a few games in the nebulous middle. Still way premature to know what this team might be able to do.

Was this what you were hoping in CMA's 5th year.  Probable not.  I hope we can squeak out a couple wins we are not suppose to win but this is a complete rebuilding job.   Sad but ok if we load up in November with a super recruiting class and see HOPE in sight.

[go hogues]

Gonna be a long season.

[TomBigBeeHog]

Gonna be a long season.

Looking forward to it!

[WorfHog]

I do, cannot wait for the Red/White game. I feel like Mike's gonna shut down the haters and land a huge recruiting class this year. I can't wait.

14-17... and that's optimistic

[jry04]

Optimistic for you, maybe. Realistically, we shouldn't go any worse than about 13 or 14 wins unless more players get injured or suspended.

I've heard the same thing from someone fairly close to the situation.  Beard will likely end up with a plea deal and probation which will allow CMA to keep him on the team.  He will miss some games, but will be back with the team.  This is from an acting deputy federal prosecuting attorney.

No offense, but I don't think your source knows what kind of action Anderson would take in that situation. He could take a plea deal and still get kicked off the team. A deputy prosecuting attorney is not privy to Anderson's thinking on the matter.

I surely hope you are right but it would surprise me because a person who is charged with multiple felonies rarely gets a plea deal unless some of the charges have been dropped.

[PorkRinds]

No offense, but I don't think your source knows what kind of action Anderson would take in that situation. He could take a plea deal and still get kicked off the team. A deputy prosecuting attorney is not privy to Anderson's thinking on the matter.

That's true.  He doesn't know what Anderson will do.  That was an assumption.  What he said was that in cases like this unless Beard was the big fish, he will plea down to a misdemeanor or two and get some probation.  It was my guess that Anderson would keep him, and that may not be true.  I guess the point I was really considering was that Beard may not really be in all that much legal trouble according to him.  He's not directly involved, but knows the folks who are.  I don't even want to call it a "source" because it's not.  Sorry if I made it seem that way.  He just said from what he knows about the cases and what he's seen in previous cases that he wouldn't expect any jail time and likely a plea down to misdemeanors.

Hopefully that's enough of a downgrade for Anderson to keep him. I'd be fine even with a 10-game suspension for Beard. Would hate to see his Razorback career ended over this. It's a serious thing, but really not all that serious compared to the things that we see in college athletics that get kids in deep trouble (sexual assaults, violence, drugs, DUIs).

I think it is for sure.  The question that will be the deciding factor IMO is whether or not Beard has been in trouble behind the scenes before.  If it's an ongoing problem, he will likely be gone.  If it was a one time thing and the charges are plead down, I would bet we see him back at some point.

[Southern Hogspitality]

I only see 12-13 wins I feel decent about. Quite a few games in the nebulous middle. Still way premature to know what this team might be able to do.

How things are at the moment I think 13 wins for this team would be good.  Unless Jimmy is the next Derrick Rose, it is going to be a rough year.

[Hogberry Snortcake]

Jimmy is the next Derrick Rose.

I'm counting on this.

[UNCLE BACK]

So you are of the belief that this is the worst team that Mike Anderson has ever had since he has been a head coach?

[TomBigBeeHog]

So you are of the belief that this is the worst team that Mike Anderson has ever had since he has been a head coach?

quickest I've ever seen a bandwagon emptied out is on here. Hard to believe this team would be worse than the one from MA's first year here and I think that team won 18 games.

[hulk hog]

quickest I've ever seen a bandwagon emptied out is on here. Hard to believe this team would be worse than the one from MA's first year here and I think that team won 18 games.

Our returning players averaged 16.7 ppg combined (22.4 if you include Beard), we were out recruited by 5 teams that finished below us last year in the SEC, and our potential top scoring post option is in prep school.  Maybe top to bottom this team is more talented as his first team, but there is no Powell and hopefully Whitt can equal BJ. Mike's saving grace for the year might be getting Jenkins if he can average double figures. Hope I'm wrong but if this team is above .500 in the league and somehow makes the tournament it will be Mike's best coaching job.

the thing is, in year 5, the team should not even be close to the same as in yr one, yet here we facing that very real possibility.

No we aren't. It isn't even close to that barf bag Pelphrey left behind.

You completely missed the point that was made in the post you quoted because you are so heck bent on being a critic instead of being objective.

There was not a true point anywhere on that roster, including Nobles. There was literally only one guy on the team that was a threat from the outside. Absolutely no hope for a presence down low after Powell went down.

Only YOU could possibly even try to make the claim that this season's roster even remotely resembled the scrambled egg roster of MA's first season. Seriously, who would Sanchez be playing in front of to start on this team?

I am talking about record. 18 wins is 18 wins. missing the ncaat is missing the ncaat.

[WarPig88]

No, you said "even close". 21 wins would be close.

What you fail to remember about that first year is that we were in contention for a NCAA tourney spot 3/4's of the way through the season. If that team could have won one or two more road games, they would have been a bubble team with their quality wins at home that season.

This really illustrates just how blinded by your dislike of the coach you are to where the program has been and is today. It isn't even close, yet you whine like it really is.

Tell the truth, you are HOPING for a bad season next year which is why you and a select few others spend all your time here bashing things as if they have already taken place instead of being hopeful based on the fact we are just coming off our best season in 2 DECADES!

Well, I don't think anyone will have to hope for a bad season. Short of some miracle it is going to be bad. A bad season is just going to be that, it is not going to result in any changes.

Your own comments point out what some of us are frustrated with, this team is not going to be any better, most likely, than Mike's 1st year when he was playing with players, mainly, that he did not recruit, and that were not really suited for his style. Now in year 5 the team is ENTIRELY his players, but they are likely going to have the same result as year 1, sitting home after the sect is over.

I hate to tell you this, but the season is far from being a done deal. How about we actually wait for it to be a bad season instead of acting as if it really has happened?

Bitching about a program that just came off it's best season in two decades is "normal".

Don't think so.

If you took a straw poll on here the majority is going to say around or just above .500 overall coming off our best season in decades, yeah nothing to be sour about there, just being ridiculous they/we are.

Tell you what, pick the schedule like I and others have done and make a legitimate argument for us to be all happy and giddy like you!

The thing is you refuse to even acknowledge the problems the team is facing, and you act like those problems should be expected for a 5th year coach coming off the best season in 2 decades. And then you act like anyone that does see those problems has some personal ax to grind to the coach.
