UA Basketball: Welcome to the Delvon Johnson Era
Posted by Adam Butler on April 27, 2010
First, Arkansas recently struck out with Ricardo Ratliffe–JUCO ALL-American, all our eggs in one basket, power forward and friend of Razorback Marshawn Powell.
Now, after scrambling looking elsewhere for help, they’ve been spurned by another recruit…….for prep school.
Ratliffe cast his lot with Mizzou and coach Mike Anderson–he of the “near-Razorback dynasty in the 90s building” Andersons.
You may remember Anderson. He’s the proven head coach who has all but announced he would return to Arkansas, if offered (something coaches with jobs NEVER allow their confidants so so publicly and specifically). Alas, Jeff Long isn’t interested in the past–only the future. A future filled with Delvon Johnson.
No worries, though.
Delvon averaged 2.6 points per game and 2.4 rebounds per game in just over 13 minutes per game for the Hogs last season. And, prior to that at Indian Hills Community College in Ottumwa, Iowa, he averaged 6.9 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.9 blocked shots.
I can hardly wait for the Delvon Johnson era to begin.

We should make the NCAA tournament next year.

You know they didn’t expand to 96 or 128 teams, right?

Oh I thought they did. At least we have an automatic bid to the SEC tournament.
