Mike Anderson To Arkansas, Or Not...???

Okay... this is quoting those "numerous confidential sources close to the situation..."

The HQ will check with ours to confirm...

But it looks like Mike Anderson is going to Arkansas from Mizzou...

Anderson, who played for Nolan Richardson at Tulsa and coached under him at Arkansas for 17 years, is expected to accept the head coaching job.

Chris Lincoln started the madness last night... in a Tweet...
Reports out of Arkansas say Mizzou coach Mike Anderson to be introduced tomorrow in Fayetteville as Razorbacks new head basketball coach

KFSM-TV in Fort Smith is reporting that there is a group of Hog Boosters that may be trying to stop the hire because of the association with Richardson...

From Mike Irwin's commentaries:
((KOCO-TV Sports Director Dean)) Blevins wrote that sources close to the job search at Arkansas told him that two factions are in play with different preferences with regard to Anderson.

A group of former Richardson players at Arkansas are pushing Jeff Long to hire Anderson, the source told Blevins. However, according to Blevins’ source, "long-time Razorback people of influence who basically don’t want to have anything to do with anyone connected to Nolan Richardson" are against the hire.


More when we know more...
