M.O.B. Votes:

Duane John was kicked out after his freshman year
Najeeb Echols battled injuries and then transferred
Jeff Ferguson was forced to sit out his senior year.

None of that proves the rankings were wrong about the players.

Hold on to the last scholarship for now, or look to fill? - MUIntensity USA - 9/19 15:12:31

Fill it. Kids leave, flunk out, get arrested, etc.(nm) - MIZZOU_FANATIC MU - 9/19 19:38:20

Fill it. KA identifies the talent - Mr. Orange SU - 9/19 16:55:44

If you can get a talented player you give it away. - StaleyTiger MU - 9/19 16:03:30

the trend isn't continuing. The guys that are here now - alwaysright MU - 9/19 16:14:20

Definitely feels like we have a functioning program now - MUIntensity USA - 9/19 16:28:43

I think this is probably the worst state our program has - tgr MU

RE: I think this is probably the worst state our program has - StlWeir MU - 9/20 11:20:29

He doesn't get paid to think - alwaysright MU - 9/20 19:03:18

Aloss is a loss but a win is not a win - alwaysright MU - 9/20 07:17:01

I hope you're right, no more excuses,let's get to 16 wins - CoolBreeze22 MU - 9/19 16:58:04

RE: Definitely feels like we have a functioning program now - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 9/19 16:38:23

Redshirt Nikko, Kemp, and Geist. Then bank the scholarship, - CoolBreeze22 MU - 9/19 15:37:24

No coach would do that - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/19 15:53:27

No way on Geist. He may contribute some but he's not - alwaysright MU - 9/19 15:49:01

I'd be nervous if we were only two deep at the 5 - MUIntensity USA - 9/19 15:57:22

I think they should both be candidates, but only 1 of them - alwaysright MU - 9/19 16:07:24

Whatever the right answer is, - Evenflow MU - 9/19 15:32:42

Do you feel better now?(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 9/19 15:35:03

Depends on what we can get - FIJItiger MU

- 9/19 15:20:36

So we should have just told CJ Roberts thanks but no thanks? - kmawv8 MU - 9/19 15:30:33

No, we are continuing to use resources and allocate - FIJItiger MU

- 9/19 15:34:43

So you think CJ Roberts isn't good enough for a staff - kmawv8 MU - 9/19 15:38:04

No idea, I've never seen him play - FIJItiger MU

- 9/19 15:41:01

He can play Rivals has him as a top 100 player - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/19 15:55:14

RE: He can play Rivals has him as a top 100 player - FIJItiger MU

- 9/19 16:07:09

not sure what the 2000 class has to do with - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/19 16:25:00

It doesn't. - kmawv8 MU - 9/19 16:33:28

KA has actually done well mostly at identifying talent - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/19 16:53:45

Some guys in 2000 did not live up to their ranking due to - alwaysright MU - 9/19 16:29:49

Well that happens every year, it's a big reason why - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/19 16:51:32

Whaley played in the NBA but never made it to MU - kmawv8 MU - 9/19 16:13:26

Agree, except on Ferguson - FIJItiger MU

- 9/19 16:20:06

you agree, yet that class told you not to trust - kmawv8 MU - 9/19 16:24:36

He has to see for himself what kind of pull up j they have - Cosmo MU

- 9/19 16:40:13

That was the offseason where I decided to not - FIJItiger MU

- 9/19 16:26:49

So is it fair for me to say that if you had seen these guys - kmawv8 MU - 9/19 16:29:43

FIJI sees all - alwaysright MU - 9/19 16:31:47

I agree that guys in this range can be a complete - alwaysright MU - 9/19 16:09:37

That was the class that taught me to never judge a - FIJItiger MU

- 9/19 16:12:39

RE: That was the class that taught me to never judge a - StlWeir MU - 9/20 08:33:30

FIJI is a history major trying to teach Physics theory - alwaysright MU - 9/20 10:11:27

But keep in mind. - alwaysright MU - 9/19 16:18:22

Whaley was drafted by the Utah Jazz. - kmawv8 MU - 9/19 16:21:24

I don't question Whaley's talent, but I think it is pretty - alwaysright MU - 9/19 16:24:28

Agreed, but hard to call that guy a bust when he got - kmawv8 MU - 9/19 16:26:12

Too many people think they words - alwaysright MU - 9/19 16:28:24

Agree, that is my preference and approach (nm) - FIJItiger MU

- 9/19 16:24:08

I don't necessarily have an issue with the approach, - kmawv8 MU - 9/19 16:27:19

That class was a mess that had little to do with their - kmawv8 MU - 9/19 16:14:39

Does that fence not scratch your ass? - UMR85 MU - 9/19 15:27:21

The new coach would really like to have at least one open - Rabbit Test MU - 9/19 15:15:28

Car'tare Gordon is a 5* who's seriously considering MU - HissingPrigs77 MU - 9/19 15:22:14

9-23 and 10-21 - Rabbit Test MU - 9/19 15:25:52

not even close - kmawv8 MU - 9/19 15:32:12

Haif bought dem silk sheets and didn't wash em(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 9/19 15:34:40

When was the last time Mizzou signed an actual 5* - nerdmachine KC - 9/19 15:21:00

Top rated players to sign with MU (#45 or above) - FIJItiger MU

- 9/19 15:22:29

Your ranking on J3 is way off, but not as laughable as Teki - Mr. Orange SU - 9/19 19:43:19

He appears unranked because he switched classes. - alwaysright MU - 9/20 07:18:19

I'm talking about an actual 5*, not a transfer, - nerdmachine KC - 9/19 15:24:34

Was Kleiza a 5*? - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/19 15:28:00

Generally, to be a 5* you have to be at least top 25 and - alwaysright MU - 9/19 16:11:59

Yea I understand that, just didn't remember that - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/19 16:55:28

sorry, I figured you saw him listing Kleiza as top 20 - alwaysright MU - 9/19 17:04:08

Klieza actually never signed a LOI with us - FIJItiger MU

- 9/19 15:37:20

Same with Teki and Walton - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/19 15:50:05

Yes.(nm) - zodiac6 JC - 9/19 15:33:09

That is a bizarre distinction, but even then that would mean - FIJItiger MU

- 9/19 15:27:46

Because, part of the reason Tony Mitchell - kmawv8 MU - 9/19 15:35:53

Recruiting 5 stars is actually similar to transfers - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/19 15:52:07

The massive difference - kmawv8 MU - 9/19 16:54:15

Stipo is the only true five star we have signed.(nm) - Uncle John MU
