Seven years @ $1.6 million per according to Gabe DeArmond of PowerMizzou.com.
Memphis Bengal: Hey, I am jumping in on Bronto’s breaking news blurb to note that this was a must move by Missouri, and it is great news for that program that they were able to get this done. Even better for Missouri? Anderson gave them something of a discount to stay put, as reports had Georgia offering $2 million per, and, locally, the word around Memphis was that the Tigers (Memphis version) might go as high as $3 million per in an effort to lure Anderson back to the mid-South. There is no good reason that Anderson, given that style of ball, should not be able to recruit competitively and successfully in St. Louis, Chicago, Memphis, Little Rock, Kansas City and other points in and around the heartland. With that contract in hand, and the success they saw this year, that should be a damn easy sale going forward.
