Broyles and Heath are meeting today. There's a certain amount of unhappiness in pigland about the BB program. It is possible that Arkansas could soon be another competitor in the new coach chase.

Too bad Mike Anderson probably doesn't want the job anymore - It'd be nice to see Missouri twisting in the wind again.

possibly Gillispie according to some sources
Why is Gillespie's name mentioned in about every coaching search? Does he want out of College Station? He has taken A&M to prominance...why leave?
Gillespie must have some connection to Arkansas? I don't get it, they just ran a basketball coach who got them to the NCAA and won 21 games in a competitive conferences. Plus, Broyles is a certified nut.
Arkansas has more money than anyone else. A newer arena. Huge basketball tradition and the campus is awesome. My bro went to school there.
I highly doubt Arkansas has more money than Texas A&M. They print money there they have so much.
Arkansas has the most money, even more than Texas. They have Walmart and Tyson Chicken as there doners. They bring in close to $100 million a year. It's not even close to anyone else the amount of money Arkansas has. A@M is second in there own state. Which still is a ton.
Last year it was said that Gillespe and the A&M AD were not getting along at all and he was looking for an out... Maybe he still is...
There's a town down in Arkansas that is building a $35 million dollar HIGH SCHOOL football stadium, if I recall what I read correctly. The hillbillies have mucho dinero, they just don't go to the dentist.
I've heard Bill Self to Arkansas. Gillespie to Kentucky...and while we're at it, here's my predictions:
Lon Kruger to Michigan
Jeff Bzdelik to Colorado
Billy Gillespie to Kentucky
Roy Williams to Iowa (Coach K as head assistant)
I keep hearing Gillespie can see that Arkansas is an easier place to win the Big One from. Actually, there are only so many coaches who have wonm in D-1, can coach, and can recruit.
The big Hawkeye Cedar Rapids Hawk beat writer was on 1620 today said they want a proven recruiter at Iowa. They are not sure Altman fits the bill. They hired Alford thinking he could recruit Mich and Illinois stars and it did not occur. He did land Adam Atom Bomb on the bounce. He said when Tom Davis left, Iowa lost Collison. When Floyd left, we lost Kirk Herr Heinrich. When WM left, we lost PJ. Coaching changes do set a program back for awhile.
A&M's Arena is new with in the last 10 years, and they have a brand new practice facility. If Gillespie leaves, it's not because of facilities, or money.
