    Yeah, but if he's a competitor, he should have moved. Arkansas can take him to the next level. The Hogs can win a national title. No one knows what's going on with their academic situation, now, but the Hogs have Final Four-level talent coming back. I really believe that. They have the pieces.

    I've never seen a press release like this...

    Seems one Altman's first official duties after being introduced at the press conference was being handed a report that two players had tested positive for marijuana. After that, he was informed another player was academically suspended.

    I don't know if I feel insanely jealous of Arkansas beat guys right now, or ridiculously happy that I'm not one. No middle ground. It's either or. I can't tell for sure, though.

    Why not hire the son? It worked for Georgetown, didn't it?

    You can reach Nolan III here. Scroll down to the very bottom.

    If anyone deserves another chance, or maybe in his case shot, it's Nolan Richardson III.

    If they don't hire him, they're racists.

    I know for an absolute certainity that Harrick will be in Fayetteville this weekend. He's coaching one of the AAU teams in the big tournament there every year.
    Arkansas couldn't have picked a worse time not to have a coach. The AAU tournament is a huge deal and you'll have most of the country's best players and nearly every D-I school on hand.
    Another rumor is that a desperation call was made to Mike Anderson after Altman passed and Anderson said thanks but no thanks.

    Did you see the Hogs play in the NCAAs? Anything they used darn sure wasn't performance enhancing!
