It was composed of Keion Bell and Earnest Ross, who both had to sit out a year as transfers. His second recruiting class was compiled during the aftermath of the Shapiro allegations going public. It was still arguably the most talented single class in MU history, outside of maybe 1979's class.

Here is a post from Killer on September 7, 2011:

"Certainly, almost all these top 100 kids we were in on are Fuller's recruits, but the reason everyone has dropped Mizzou from consideration is the situation of uncertainty without a public vote of confidence for Haith and the coaching staff. Labor day weekend was really the time frame this needed to be resolved and when it wasn't, these kids and their families had to start scheduling in home visits for next week without Mizzou on the list.

Here is who we apparently lost out on. And yes, I'm 100% sure this info is accurate. Careful, you might be ill.

#6 Rodney Purvis
#7 Anthony Bennett
#11 Jarnell Stokes
#15 Danuel House
#47 Chicken Knowles
#59 Montay Brandon
#77 DeMarquise Johnson

We wouldn't have gotten all these kids, but there are two of them that were really in the bag for the most part, and two others that we had a great shot at. There was little doubt this was going to be a huge pull with all the scholarships we had to offer. At this point, it appears that it's up in flames and I'm told there is no getting back in."
