The Mike Anderson era officially started late Wednesday and the new head coach has hit the ground running.

Former hog Scotty Thurman boarded a flight to Jonesboro, Arkansas at 3:00 p.m. en route to Jonesboro and it's believed that Anderson is also making the trip.

Arkansas' new staff is recruiting star player Hunter Mickelson among others. Expect similar trips over the course of the next few days.

Anderson will be formally introduced as the Razorbacks next head coach Saturday morning at 10:30. The news conference is being held at Bud Walton Arena and is open to the public.
