No one is mad at Perry. We're mad at MA and staff for being garbage recruiters. You had three 5 star plays in your state only to see two of them to go to your bitter rival. You had a guy committed only to leave the moment he becomes a 5star. That's what we're mad at.

NO, not everyone is mad at Mike Anderson! Some that post here are adults and know that crap like this happens. It's only the diaper wearing crowd that jumps on the coach and declares the rest of TWO recruiting classes "meh", due to the loss of a single recruit.
Hopefully someday though, you'll grow up and stop making yourself look foolish.

How is it MA's fault if he de-commits?  I don't understand how it could be on him...?!  Short of locking Perry in a room, or giving him a duffel bag full of money, how can ANY coach make a recruit KEEP his commitment?  Here's the answer for you....THEY CAN'T.  I get sick of the blame game.  Sometimes a recruit changes his mind, and it's no fault of anyone but that recruit....just a thought.  I know my post doesn't fit the "blame MA for everything" narrative, so I apologize in advance....

I think his point is just that recruiting has been middling, in the aggregate, under Mike. Now that we're losing the centerpiece of the class that was supposed to turn it around, it might be time to reevaluate MA as HC.

I don't necessarily agree (next couple of classes still look very good), but it's a perfectly valid opinion.

I don't buy the dad is sick.  IMO some other school had someone get in his ear telling him at Arkansas he is going to be stuck at the 4 and if goes to this school he will play at the 3

It is not hard to out recruit Anderson. Once the doors were open for people to start talking to him, we were never gonna land him unless he was just set on Arkansas for whatever reason.

MA is just not a good recruiter. He whiffed on too many guys. He failed to land too many guys for someone to dare call him a good one.

He whiffed on Goodwin. OK, in-state kid fine it was a, "business decision." He whiffed on Monk. Another in-state kid that MA had years to get him to be a Hog but it was a strange situation. Too many back room deals going on. Now he whiffed on Perry. A guy who said Arkansas was his KY. Well, at least until he became a 5* player.

That's not an anomaly, that's a trend.

Basketball recruiting under MA is starting to feel a lot like football. And I don't know about you guys, but I'm getting tired of seeing mediocre classes and being told by the media and a few posters on here how great they are.

Don't fight this feelin' anymore.

We are who we are. Only the big dogs sprinkle 5*s on top of their 4-star cake.
And this reality is what gives me headaches....seeing the 5*s continually decommit.  As long as this continues....and I don't pretend to know the real reason why....we will have a hard time going beyond the second round.

Always find the common denominator. And since 2011, that's been MA.

and how many 5*'s have continually decommitted?  Did we have some other 5*'s committed?

I said "continually" which means regularly.  Goodwin, Monk....now Perry.  Two of them in-state. All in five years (which for me seems like five months).  It's just a little too "regular" for my liking.  JMO  I also forgot the kid who went to Florida....right now his name escapes me.  But maybe some of these were not five stars.

Are people really mad at Anderson over this?

Reggie Perry was, or should have been, always considered a blessing for Razorback fans. We aren't getting kids like him, even from inside the state, on a regular basis. And you can stay that a big part of that is because Anderson isn't a strong recruiter. That's true -- he is not. But he is a good coach who can develop and get a lot out of the players he can get to stay in the program (retention is a problem for all coaches). I think Anderson's recruiting has improved not just because we got Reggie Perry, but because he's started to really get players that truly fit the style of play he desires. That's more important to me than getting one-year rentals with 5-stars. Of course, I'd love to have those kinds of players on top of a good core, but the core being strong is more important to me. Anderson is building a strong core for the Razorbacks with Dan Gafford, Khalil Garland, C.J. Jones, Jalen Harris, Adrio Bailey, Darious Hall, Gabe Osabouien, Isaiah Joe, Desi Sills, Ethan Henderson, and Justice Hill. That's a good damn team without Reggie Perry in my estimation. He now has 3 scholarships to offer for 2018 now, so I'm interested to see if he can convince a kid like Ian Steere to take Perry's spot. You can bet that there are some 4s out there kicking the tires on Arkansas after seeing this news. Does this sway an Ian Steere or a Josh LeBlanc? We'll see. I'm still expecting Anderson and Co. to bring in a few good players for 2018.

You're right. Good point.  I just can't get over the reality that when we do produce a five star...we have such a hard time keeping him in-state.  And yes,, I know Perry was not in-state.....I guess it's not being able to get or keep five stars....except occasionally.

We definitely have a tough time keeping 5-star talent with deep Arkansas connections. But I think it's tough for most programs to get that kind of talent. We're not blue-blood and we aren't paying so you just have to hope and wish for another Bobby Portis.

Hogimus Prime

When I read MA isn't a good recruiter my thought is 'MA won't play dirty'. Let's face it the Bill Selfs, Roy Williams and Calipari types are dirty slimeballs who only get the top players cause they do whatever it takes to get them i.e money, cars, jobs for family.  90% of those types are not good coaches.  They win most of their games cause they out talent a team., not because of their x's and o's.

lynbug

Thanks for the correction.  I think you misunderstood the tone of my post.  To me it's hard to grasp the fact that out of those five stars cited...none of them made it to our team.  And three of them were in-state.  If we could just get one occasionally to go with the supporting cast...it might give us the boost we need.  But I'm vey encouraged about the ones coming in that have not (as of today) decommited.

It's obviously a slippery slope but I thought we were blue blood in the 70's, 80's and 90's but my perception of what "blue blood" really means is probably biased.

If the NBA gets rid of the one and done rule, which might end up happening before next years draft, Reggie may not play anywhere in college. Not that I think he's ready, he has shown he's as good as any other 3/4 in that class.

Could open up Ian Steere to us. I believe Ian wants to play right away. With Reggie he wasn't going to get as much PT as he will now. If we can get Ian to replace Reggie then I think we did alright.

To the NCAA the blue bloods are Kentucky, Kansas, UCLA, Duke, North Carolina.  They do no wrong.  During the 80's and 90's schools like Arkansas, UNLV came along and caused trouble for the blue bloods. Messing up the status quo.  They were "renegade" programs and the NCAA went after them. Found stuff and nailed them.  If the NCAA actually looked they'd find all types of major violations at those schools but they won't

Same ones freaking out about Monk last season. Arkansas was 2 minutes away from the sweet 16. Take a deep breath.

Without Monks and Perry's we very well may continue to be 2 mins away

I agree and disagree somewhat. At Kansas Self and Williams were never considered dirty coaches. But they will get in the mud a little to get a great player. Now Calipari I do put in the dirty category with Jerry Tarkanian and Bob Huggins when he was at Cincinnati. Maybe that's the problem. MA doesn't want to get his clothes dirty to get great players.

"Renegade".....I like the sound of that, too.  By the way when is the NCAA gonna come down on NC for those "fake classes"?

What is more disappointing are the post on here basically calling Perry and his family LIARS! I'm sure that will boost recruiting in the future! >:( Not all post have been that outrageous but dang...If Perry or his family were the type of people that make up a lie about someone's health for practically no reason...is that someone we want? I mean what else would they lie about? As far as anyone knows this family has been straight up with MA. Nothing they have done would indicate they would do what some have accused them of for the sole purpose of not wanting to make Arkansas fans made.

You won't know if he is a "liar" until he picks a new school, close to home not a liar, far away liar

We were then. But it's quite obvious that the landscape is much, much, much different. And why is that? $$$$$$. Much more of it in college hoops now. Let's not be foolish enough to think that any program can just go out and recruit top talent cleanly and have consistent success. Not going to happen.

Perry doesn't owe us any explanation.  Hence, I'm going to assume that his father unfortunately has health problems.  My father is a cancer patient.  I wouldn't move far away at present for any reason.  It's petty to question it if you have no knowledge of the situation.  Being away a few weeks in the summer is not the same as being far enough away for months to need a plane ticket for a weekend visit. Everybody should exercise their right to keep their opinions to themselves and move on.  We'll field a team without him.


TOTALLY agree...can't stand all the negativity and "Debbie Downer" talk.  If folks don't like the product, don't watch.  I'm from Arkansas, but I can see why kids would want to play elsewhere...some of the "fans" here are insufferable and way too entitled....
