1. Winning, but not a rep as an elite.
2. Agree.
3. That's a huge if. Even at our best, most have gone elsewhere, especially the ones in St. Louis area. Robinson, Hughes, Woods, Lee, Hansbrough, Beal, Tatum, etc. There have been a number of them who didn't want to be a program changer at Mizzou.
4. Probably.
5. Agree.
6. Disagree. Younger people may think so, but Mizzou used to be a power in football, when the basketball program was nowhere to be found. Mizzou has been ranked #1 in football as well. Not as often, but there are a whole lot more chances to be #1 in basketball, mainly because teams have multiple chances to lose each week as compared to football.
Ford has signed some guys. He hasn't produced any results on the court to date. St. Louis is not the middle of nowhere, which is how a lot of young people think, certainly the ones from the coasts.
