rebounder as a sophomore. Gant wasn't a star but he was a solid role player. If we had hired a coach who managed to keep J3, Wright, Clark, and Gant around and recruited SEC-level talent around them we would likely be a bubble team. The reason we are so bad is because we aren't getting players to the upperclassmen level. These repeated claims that they sucked and losing them wasn't a blow is stupid. They weren't superstars but players that come up in the program improve and eventually contribute at high levels and are how you win. Losing these types of players year after year is why programs crater.

     I agree for the most part except for the "cratered" program - TheWildcat STL - 9/14 11:04:00
          Did you forget that Clarkson and Brown left early and Jones - Uncle John MU - 9/14 11:07:36
               That's not cratered. It's not ideal but it's not cratered. - cefoo MU - 9/14 11:11:32

               The real world. People want Kim to resign because of what - 90Tiger MU - 9/14 11:11:06
     I can agree with that. Although when Kim was hired it - sprintcar STL - 9/14 10:49:41
          Kim didn't use a 3-4 year player approach before MU, why did - 90Tiger MU - 9/14 10:52:08
               Because the powers that got him the job wanted to get back - sprintcar STL - 9/14 10:56:36
                    He's not trying to "get back to 4 year players"...he's taken - tigerdb MU - 9/14 12:30:04
                    so in order to get 3-4 year players MU had to hire a guy wit - 90Tiger MU - 9/14 11:12:23
                         Theoretically that means we couldn't hire many - nerdmachine KC - 9/14 12:02:17
