According to multiple sources, the top four choices for the Arkansas job are:

Missouri Head Coach Mike Anderson. He was an assistant at Arkansas for 17 years with Nolan Richardson and would return the "40 minutes of hell" style that made Arkansas successful in the 1990’s.

Minnesota Head Coach Tubby Smith. Keeps saying publically that he’s staying at Minnesota, but behind closed doors it’s another story. May be in the mix at NC State and Oklahoma as well.

Marquette Head Coach Buzz Williams. Has been tied to every job in the south this off season. If he doesn’t get Texas Tech, look for Arkansas to make a strong run at him.

Kansas State Head Coach Frank Martin. I keep hearing his name come up here. He took the Wildcats to the Elite 8 last year and is 94-42 during his tenure at K-State.

We’ll see how this one plays out….
