Title: Arkansas Takes Hard Line, Won't Release Leading Scorer in BB
Post by: Marshal Dillon on June 17, 2011, 08:55:30 PM
It looks like several of the players are not buying into Anderson's system. Interesting.

That guy is a heck of a good shooter, we'll take him here at Bama if Anderson changes his mind.  ;)

Not sure I understand the reasoning behind this. If a guy doesn't want to play for you, and may not give 100 percent, what's the point in keeping the guy? I understand there has been attrition, but what good does it do you if a guy doesn't mesh with you or give his all? Maybe I am wrong, but I cannot see CAG doing something like this.

Yeah, I bet Anderson is geting some criticism with several players leaving and he's trying to send a message to the remaining players. Like you said, why would you want a guy who doesn't want to play for you? It doesn't make any sense. I think Anderson is being an ass with his refusal and it makes him look petty. Just say he can't sign with another SEC school and let him go.

I think the kids are made to realize, that the only person they are hurting, by not giving 100%, is themselves. They are told that the scouts are watching, and don't want anyone who is gonna act like a 12 year old little girl when things don't go their way. If they want to make it to the show, they have to give 100% every day, whether they like the coach / school / program, or not.
Suck it up butter cup. The world needs ditch diggers too...

These are all good points, I wonder why a kid like this would think he wouldn't fit in Coach Anderson's game? These good guys that play for Arkie could give them a chance to play in the Big Dance. RTR!
