And here's another weird one

"8. Arkansas: Mike Anderson has talent on his roster. I do not trust Mike Anderson to be able to win with talent on his roster. Top four team on paper."

What the hell? Since when has MA ever had problems coaching a talented team?

[RealHog]

Yeah that is weird, probably just a journalist pumping out an article with minimal research. Mike had his worst team and finished middle of the SEC. Is crazy in his All SEC prefictions it's two AR kids and a AR player: Allen, Monk, Kingsley

[ArkansasI]

Taken directly from the article:

"WAY-TOO-EARLY ALL-CONFERENCE PREDICTIONS

De'Aaron Fox, Kentucky (Player of the Year)
Malik Monk, Kentucky
KeVaughn Allen, Florida
Yante' Maten, Georgia
Moses Kingsley, Arkansas"

If that isn't enough to make you sick...

[RealHog]

Well we had our shot at being a big time program. Then we hired Heath and Pelphrey.

[nwahogfan1]

Should he be fired?    I say probable.  It would depend on some circumstances like injuries or something weird like that.

But with this SEC writer plcking Arkansas to finish 8th with our talent coming on this team is a real slap in the face to CMA and shows us how our BB leadership is viewed by some writers in the SEC.

Would have to go back and look at this guy's blogs but maybe his impression was formed from the 10-11 Mizzou team.  Not that I am agreeing with him.

Not an SEC writer.  He is a "national" college basketball blogger and internet writer.  In today's media, this is what passes as a writer.  He went to Vassar and then a DC area job and decided he wanted to write about college basketball and started a blog.   

He did say top 4 in the SEC talent. 

It has been interesting to see how many different 2-5's in the SEC have been predicted already. 

Another one of his opinion pieces mentioning Coach A:

Wow just realized the other names.  Yep, what could have been.

[Biggus Piggus]

This reporter got an economics degree from Vassar then became a sports blogger. Ought to tell you something.

[Biggus Piggus]

In his last 10 games this season, KeVaughn Allen had three good, two mediocre, and five bad offensive performances. Anointing him first-team all-SEC is premature. I mean, he did nothing to come close to Dusty Hannahs' performance. Nothing.

I like J.J. Frazier (Georgia), Tyler Davis (Texas A&M), Dusty Hannahs and Moses Kingsley (Good Guys), Jeff Roberson and Matthew Fisher-Davis (Vanderbilt), Sindarius Thornwell (South Carolina), Antonio Blakeney (LSU), Quinndary Weatherspoon (M-State), among the top returning players in the SEC.

Kentucky could have a couple to add, if they back out of the draft.

[gmarv]

ya,ll sure he ain,t a hogville poster

[azhog10]

I actually took this as a positive. Mike has routinely out-performed what most thought the talent on his roster could do. Coaching kids up has never been a problem. His problem has always been assembling a talented roster. This guy thinks he has done that, that's all I needed to read. If he thinks we have the talent then I would suspect we may have a good season coming.

I didn't see anything wrong with his comments about Mike in that "Hot Seat" article you posted. He's right about Mike being on the hot seat. Going to the NCAA Tournament only once in 5 years combined with a record like last years will cause that.

Yeah he is terrible, and because of that terribleness they made him all sec freshman! I am sure he just skated in there right above Jimmy Buckets.....sounds like sour grapes, I mean this was a horrible miss by this staff, period!

Biggus, there is more to basketball than just scoring. KeVaughn Allen is a superior defender to Dusty Hannah's. And KeVaughn is a bulldog type of basketball player. The fans, alumni and coaching staff would love to have KA

[gmarv]

seems to me the allen kid didn,t want to be a hog isn,t that right ? I don,t understand how hes a miss if he didn,t wanna play for our hogs.

I think as long as we continue to miss out on great in-state recruits, and have a revolving door for the players on the team......the press feels confident to predict that it's more likely that we finish lower rather than higher.  Maybe the incoming JUCOS will turn the tide.

The Hogs can't continue to lose big time instate recruits if they want to win championships.

Looks like the instate recruiting tide has turned with Gaffords signing and Hill's commitments. Plus, we got Macon and we are in a good place with Ethan Henderson right now for 2018. I like where things are heading now. Also, we should have had Monk if not for the Big Blue screw machine.

This is where the good news is...  Mike did a nice job of bringing in a strong juco class this year.  Hopefully, it will be our springboard back to relevance.

Provided Gafford signs with the Hogs, the optimism should continue to grow.  I don't worry about Hill changing his mind unless his family moves from Arkansas.  The future seems bright.

I hate any mention of Monk.  His failure to sign with the Hogs, and his commitment to Kentucky, strikes the very chord of all that is wrong with college basketball and fan apathy.  Sad.  Really.

Whats the point of using the correct punctuation if you don't use them correctly or use enough of them?

There is absolutely no excuse for the staff not landing Monk. He isn't the first big time recruit that this stiff let slip right out from under their noses.

You are clueless.

[PonderinHog]

This recruiting stuff is serious business.

[GuvHog]

You are clueless.

No I'm not. The Hogs can't go on losing big time instate recruits like that and consistently compete for titles. I like that we're getting talented JUCO players but going too heavily to the JUCO route can really hurt a program. Stan Heath did that and he left Pel with a royal mess in his second year.

[HOGINTENNESSEE]

He already has. Haven't you seen a GOHOGS post?

Again, you are without a clue.  MM was never coming here. Ever.

[GuvHog]

Again, it's unacceptable. If MM had been the only big time player from Arkansas that this staff had lost in the last 5 years I might not be so concerned but it's become a habit for this staff.

Talk about them, then (whoever that would be). But we didn't "lose" MM. He was never coming here.

[GuvHog]

One is Kevaughn Allen, the other is the kid from Sylvan Hills (his name escapes me) Counting MM that's 3 in 5 years. losing big time players from out of state is not uncommon but losing 3 big time instate players in 5 years is not acceptable.

[HoopS]

Meh. Monk plans to play one season and bounce. I'll take our jucos. He and his brother can go rub shoulders with the Kentucky elites. I will take who we have.

And I love when someone shouts that it's "unacceptable!" What are you going to do about it?

And Goodwin was no loss.

Allen? Yep, wish we had him. But he wanted to be a Gator and that's his prerogative. If they don't want to be Hogs then we don't need them.

So 2 in 5 years then. Because, like I said, MM was never coming to play here. You can't lose what you never had.

Excuses, Excuses. The Hogs still can't afford to lose in state players like those. It's hard enough to get big time players from out of state as it is. When they start losing some inside the state it makes matters even worse.

Typical. If you can't refute the post you resort to attacking the poster. Par for the course.
