I wonder if Mike Anderson ever stops and ponders what he could have done at Mizzou in 2011-12 with this lineup:

Ratliffe
Otto Porter
Kim English
Denmon
Phil Pressey

And a bench of:
Mike Dixon
Matt Pressey
Steve Moore

I’ve thought about it. With Anderson, I’m not sure that team improves offensively like it did... but would the injection of a do-it-all freshman perfect for that style of play have made it a moot point? How much of the offensive uptick in 11-12 was just Pressey developing?

All in the past, anyway. Arkansas will probably throw enough money at this to upgrade from Anderson.

Next year is big for Cuonzo Martin. It’s Year 3. It’s firmly his program, with the holdovers mostly cast off.

They need to be a tournament team, minimum.
