6'8 or taller.. They are all "Big." They are just higher skilled and can play multiple positions.. When your small forward is 6'9, are you really playing small? Their back up point guard is 6'7!

You literally cant say or determine that - Kazoo MU - 8/31 11:16:25

You take every quality big you can get. It's cliche - catbirdseat MU

With Jontay and Tilmon - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/31 08:49:00

Phillips, Puryear and Geist look like all are - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/31 09:28:08

You all need to learn reading comprehension then - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 8/31 09:27:19

Either way, he used a 6'7 freshmen, in place of 6'7 senior - shorty MU

- 8/31 09:38:03

Correct, he used a potential lineup we could see - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 8/31 09:43:48

There have been plenty of posts on this board in the last - shorty MU

- 8/31 10:19:13

Mizzou fans that like to discuss basketball scenarios(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 8/31 11:03:53

Odds are a newcomer will get major minutes - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/31 10:27:23

Was thinking the same thing. How many 4 star guys - TheWildcat STL - 8/31 09:26:21

I'm not saying Hellems isn't good, but he had a good weekend - shorty MU

- 8/31 09:34:21

Hellems rise came after BBE started using him - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/31 09:46:15

If you look at the last 5 NCAA champions - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/31 09:13:44

Future NBA talent probably plays a big role, rather than - shorty MU

- 8/31 10:08:24

A legitimate SEC caliber big is always a need - quicksand MU - 8/30 20:05:44

Those two can be good enough to do it as upperclassmen - alwaysright MU - 8/31 11:38:44

Disagree on both Smith and Nikko - raskolnikov MU - 8/31 11:03:28

Aren't Tilmon and Jontay Porter supposed to be legit bigs?(nm) - alstl MU - 8/31 10:33:53

Carteare Gordon > Nikko and Smith - Tiger_1995 MU - 8/31 08:23:04

Most bigs are not ready to contribute much as freshman, - shorty MU

- 8/30 21:32:34

Would there even be playing time available? - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/30 20:14:49

You want good players to fight for minutes. You don't want - Tiger_1995 MU - 8/31 08:26:44

Exactly, you want kids who want to compete at a high level - catbirdseat MU

- 8/31 08:44:36

Who plays on the wing if we load up on bigs? - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/31 08:54:36

If someone - catbirdseat MU

- 8/31 09:15:33

We still need perimeter players - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/31 09:22:23

with jontay s ball skills - Bump834 MU - 8/30 21:31:21

What's a better lineup? - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/30 21:41:06

Not one has played a minute of D1 ball yet, hard to tell(nm) - raskolnikov MU - 8/31 11:06:04

And yes... - Bump834 MU - 8/31 09:44:37

Both are good - Bump834 MU - 8/31 09:43:47

Ultimately I think it comes down to identity - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/31 10:01:31

No doubt, that would be part of his decision. - quicksand MU - 8/30 20:26:10

if Mizzou doesn't recruit him it's not because - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/30 20:32:17

Jontay is versatile - Lateshift32 MU - 8/30 21:12:34

JT and JP won't play 40 minutes each, and they play the - zounami MU - 8/30 20:36:57

RE: He's not a top 10 player - nomotiger MU - 8/30 20:25:51

I agree. Plus, you recruit bigs for what they can do when - Tiger_1995 MU - 8/31 08:20:13

Exactly. Looking at one year for a Fr. is pointless.(nm) - GA Tiger MU - 8/31 10:02:55
