MPJ on whether or not Coach Anderson could have gotten him to Mizzou, if he had stayed.
"It was a life-changing thing. It was crazy. After Coach Romar got fired, [Columbia, Missouri] is where my family has lived forever. I’m real comfortable with the program, and that is where my sisters play basketball. I know it felt like it was short, but every night we were sitting down talking about it. That was my second choice anyways.
I met with [new Missouri] coach Cuonzo [Martin]. I didn’t just jump into it without knowing the coach. He was real cool. I trust my dad. I just decided that it was the best thing for me."
So, it seems it's time to end all of the he can't recruit top level players, as he also signed another top player for next year. It wasn't that he couldn't he just had to clean house first, and once he had, Mizzou became a legitimate option for top recruits. Let this be the end of the back and forth on this issue, with MPJ's own words. When Lorenzo was fired, Mizzou was next on his list. This, according to MPJ.
Then end.
