Definitely good news, considering where many on this forum project us.

We are ahead of every team in our non-conference except for Wake Forest (75) and who we play from Stanford(69)/Nova(12).

Also, Mississippi State, Alabama, Missouri, and Tennessee are all considered worse than us by this ranking. South Carolina, Auburn,  and Ole Miss are all within 17 spots of us.

I think the article gave a fair assessment.  We really are an enigma.  We don't know if/when Beard will be back, we don't know how big of a leap guys like Kingsley will take.  We don't know if Whitt will live up to expectations, it's just a lot of unknowns.  We could be a decent team or we could be bad, we don't really know yet.  But, the good news is a lot of other teams in the conference this year have a lot of of unknowns as well.  We have a lot of new coaches coming in, and a lot of teams have revamped rosters as well.

That's why I don't understand why some people are so doom and gloom and counting us out this season.  Outside of Kentucky, TAM, and Vandy the rest of the SEC is unknown.  Would it really surprise anyone if LSU underachieved again even with Ben Simmons.  All Ole Miss has is Stefan Moody.  Florida, Miss St. Tennessee, and Alabama will all be implementing a new coach with a new system.  Frank Martin hasn't really done anything with South Carolina yet.  Auburn will be depending on a lot of underclassmen to make a jump.  I know I wouldn't be comfortable making any predictions outside the top 3 or 4 in the SEC this year.

I agree with this. I am much less gloom and doom than bewildered. I do think MA is a good coach and could well surprise to the upside even if the talent is less than we are used to -- see UAB.

I wouldn't say there is a "contingent" of fans that want Anderson fired. There's maybe, what, 10 people (if that) that post on this forum that want him fired. Even less that call in to radio shows. Way overblown. There just simply isn't any kind of movement by a pocket of fans to get Anderson out of here. There are fans that criticize and have concerns, but that's not the same as hating the coaching/wanting him fired.

I don't want him fired because fired means something really bad, either record wise for a couple of seasons or something off the court has happened.

Better than I expected, or expect actual performance to be.

If we're the 85th best team in the country this year, it'll be a better coaching job than was done last year.
No cause, ever, in the history of all mankind, has produced more cold-blooded tyrants, more slaughtered innocents, and more orphans than socialism with power. It surpassed, exponentially, all other systems of production in turning out the dead. The bodies are all around us. And here is the problem: No one talks about them. No one honors them. No one does penance for them. No one has committed suicide for having been an apologist for those who did this to them. No one pays for them. No one is hunted down to account for them. It is exactly what Solzhenitsyn foresaw in The Gulag Archipelago: "No, no one would have to answer. No one would be looked into." Until that happens, there is no "after socialism."

I would think Mike Anderson would have to. There is probably just 4 or 5 guys that are on his level when it comes to recruiting. I would consider Recruiting the strength of how Mike Anderson builds his University of Arkansas Basketball team. I believe Whitt and Kapita will be excellent freshmen recruits.

Mike Anderson is the absolute perfect coach for the University of Arkansas Basketball Program. He takes the fans back to the glory days in the mid 1990s. He was part of that run as Nolan Richardson's assistant at the University of Arkansas. His coaching philosophy and style are perfect moving the program forward. Its the entertainment pressing and defensive form of basketball that every Razorback fan must enjoy. Mike Anderson is also an excellent recruiter, which is very important for the University of Arkansas Basketball Program. So anyone who questions Mike Anderson and wants him fired forgets about all those Tournaments that the team missed so often from other previous coaches. I think Mike Anderson is a top 10 coach and should get the University of Arkansas program back to the Sweet Sixteen In 2016. Mike Anderson is maybe the third best coach in the programs history so firing him would be insane.

Okay?

I don't believe 85th is some sort of high achievement/projection for this team.  This ranking would place us 10th in the SEC which was Tennessee 16-16/7-11 last season and Vandy 15-16/7-11 in 2013-14.  It isn't like we have a daunting non conference schedule especially with the number of home games or that the SEC has ascended to being one of the deeper power conferences.  UK is number 2 in this ranking and you have to go down to Vandy at 22 to find the next SEC team.  Going to probably be another SEC season of a great team or two at the top, then maybe a few good teams and a lot of mediocrity to awfulness.  The mediocrity may just be better.  The parity and chance for wins will be there. 

Outside of the suspended players, I think the questions are:

How will Mike bring along Whitt?  He has been hesitant to throw freshmen in early.  Even with holding back Beard last season till after SEC play began, Beard still looked as if he hit a wall before the regular season ended.  Whitt will carry more burden than Beard did last season.  When will he hit the wall most freshmen do especially with how we try to play?

How long till Mike finds the right lineups?  For the last couple of years, it took into SEC play although it probably should have/could have come earlier.

Kingsley's contribution?  Is he going to be lost on defense still?  Will he be put into positions to succeed defensively?  If so and he can stay out of foul trouble and play a nice amount of minutes, will he provide us another scoring option?

Will Miles and Hannahs not be lost on the defensive end?

Good perimeter shooting can overcome a lot and it can help us control tempo with consistent scoring.  Will Bell finally be the player we thought we may would be getting and will Hannahs provide it as well?

Just some of the questions I have.  I don't think a 10th place finish/.500 record is that good even for this group minus Beard.  But we'll have to see how the season starts out and how our competition looks to know more.

Pretty much the way I see things, and the same questions I have. I think the middle of the conference is going to be better. Ten and mizzou may be lost causes. UK will not be as good without the experience of the Harrison's. With the roster including Beard I think we are 7th to 10th in the league and at about 18 wins.

If we are counting on anything other than garbage buckets by Kingsley or any of our other bigs then we are going to be disappointed. What really hurts is that we are not deep enough to play as fast as we should given our lack of size. Just not enough bodies...talented bodies anyways. So that hurts when you don't have any kind of paint presence.

All we can really hope for is that Beard makes it back and that Whitt really is as good as we think he is. While I won't be happy with 17 or so wins....I am just hoping it won't be as bad as we think it could be.

The one thing this team has going for them....low expectations. So really there is no pressure to live up to any kind of preseason hype so I think that is a good thing.

I also agree that Kapita will be a monster down low. I heard CMA say just the other day he is ready to go and will probably start. I am excited about kapita.

The team this year will win about 27 to 30 games. Mark it down. Take it to Vegas. You heard it here first. This will be Mike Anderson's best basketball team at the University of Arkansas. This team is 100% his recruits so I expect not just a great but brilliant season in 2016. You don't?

You have go to be a plant of some sort. Either a plant to get people riled up, or perhaps an actual plant that somehow learned how to type.

Oh look, another "new" poster just like Henry VIII, Signed up months ago, and almost never posted, then suddenly shows up spouting how great the basketball team is going to be and how losing the secpoty, the most exciting player in the sec, and 2 other solid sr contributors, having a highly thought of guard transfer out, having your pg currently suspended awaiting trial, having one of your two prized recruits never make it to campus, and being so befeft of bodies you have to have open tryouts, actually means they will be better than last year.

Unless what Mike has up his sleeve is a couple of players we do not know about, well, I'd take 18 wins and call it a season right now.

I just find it pretty odd that from no where three posters show up, all with very very few posts, and all posting the same rainbows and unicorns type stuff about the bball team. One of the 3, Henry VIII, has already been deleted from site. Not just banned, I can't find any of his posts anywhere unless someone else had quoted them in a reply.

Cool, it is a fun place most of the time. Optimism is fine, but how can anyone look at the current roster and think this will be anything but a NIT bubble type of season? Maybe they will surprise, maybe Whitt is going to turn out to be just that good, because it is going to take a stellar effort by him to carry the team.

If Beard does not play, I think 15-17 wins, if Beard does not play or does not play until SEC play starts. They just lost so much production, and are replacing it with a lot of unknowns.

For sure... I don't say much for that reason. Let me tell you though I'm pissed about football. But what do you do?

How many 27 win teams have fan contingents that hate the coach/want him fired?

Now THAT is a truf if I ever saw one.

Who wants Mike fired? I have not seen or talked to anyone that wants him fired.

I guess I'm curious as to why you come to Jumpball.  You complained throughout last season.  You've complained all summer and now, you're complaining about the upcoming season.

Because he cares about Razorback basketball. Pretty simple.

Some overly criticize, some pump far too much sunshine, while many remain neutral. But we all care.

I used to argue with HA about how Pel ran the basketball team.  I've since learned to like and respect him.  In fact, I'd go as far to say that HA is well connected or extremely perceptive. - Porkatarian, 11/7/12

I would say maybe just two guys on his level...coach K and Cal. Nobody else is even close to being on their level.

I also agree that Kapita will be a monster down low. I heard CMA say just the other day he is ready to go and will probably start. I am excited about kapita.

I sense sarcasm in this post so +1 for humor and laughter.

You missed what started it. Henry VIII posted something, since deleted, talking about how he was looking forward to Kapita playing, as part of his craptacularly glowing post of how great an off season MA actually had.

Well if he's interested in Kaputa playing he needs to get up early in the morning and watch European basketball games from streaming on his computer. And I would think the opposite of great on this off-season.

Too much optimism comes across as someone just messing with us. Looking at our current roster, I would be shocked if we even made the NIT this year.

But even if they miss the NIT. Dr. Jeffrey Long can certainly pull some strings to get them in the CBI tournament after the regular season ends.
