Can the Tigers be TN good in a couple years - tigerinhogtown STL - 1/9 10:49:56

Absolutley - Tiger Tim MU - 1/9 17:29:39

All depends on recruiting the next two years....nm - HDTiger MU - 1/9 15:09:43

Cuonzo 4th year could look like this - nitwittc3 MU - 1/9 14:50:50

A team where McKinney and Pickett might be the - alwaysright MU - 1/12 12:07:16

That team would win 25+ games - Terry the Tiger MU - 1/9 15:24:40

Tilmon is going to play 4 years? - ERB KC - 1/9 15:05:27

that was the premise of the OP(nm) - tigerinhogtown STL - 1/9 16:42:33

No. 3 in the country? No. - ERB KC - 1/9 14:46:20

Might want to look at the recruiting classes prior to - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/9 14:54:33

That's good info. - ERB KC - 1/9 14:59:32

The possibility is certainly there - fzbarbeque MU - 1/9 14:30:31

Probably Top 25 good, but probably not Top 5 good. (nm) - thicks MU - 1/9 12:03:08

Sure, as long as they don't read Tigerboard - sfprman MU - 1/9 11:57:36

I doubt it. - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 1/9 11:42:57

Could be... not many of those guys were highly touted - itznotwillis MU - 1/9 11:19:50

No, not in a couple of years - FIJItiger MU

- 1/9 11:11:30

RE: No, not in a couple of years - Terry the Tiger MU - 1/9 15:23:28

You thought last year and this year would be dismal too.(nm) - Mizzmi27 MU - 1/9 11:36:09

Its baffling how frequently you misunderstand simple concept - FIJItiger MU

- 1/9 11:38:19

What did you mean when you said 20 wins wouldn't - Mizzmi27 MU - 1/9 13:04:52

RE: What did you mean when you said 20 wins wouldn't - FIJItiger MU

- 1/9 13:10:03

Answer the objective questions, not the subjective one. - Mizzmi27 MU - 1/9 13:15:13

20 wins is traditionally not good enough to secure - FIJItiger MU

- 1/9 13:31:52

it's not like we squeaked in - we were an 8 seed (upper half - zounami MU - 1/9 13:58:58

And Oregon (PAC12) won 23 games and went to the NIT - FIJItiger MU

- 1/9 14:12:22

Moral of the story - Mizzmi27 MU - 1/9 14:22:30

You were wrong; it's not that hard to admit. - Mizzmi27 MU - 1/9 13:54:45

You can't be a real person, this has to be - FIJItiger MU

- 1/9 13:56:47

I'm definitely messing with you, yes. - Mizzmi27 MU - 1/9 14:23:21

You even said WITH MPJ we'd be headed to the NIT - Mizzmi27 MU - 1/9 11:45:05

Incorrect - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/9 11:31:42

Just to humor me, who is that? - FIJItiger MU

- 1/9 11:36:50

Yeah, no. It's like you don't even watch anymore(nm) - Mizzmi27 MU - 1/9 11:46:16

I think you do watch, which is the confounding part if true(nm) - FIJItiger MU

- 1/9 11:50:53

Dru Smith, Mark Smith and Tilmon will be really good - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/9 11:43:30

Really good, yes. National title contending? - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 1/9 11:46:30

if Mizzou defends the way Cuonzo coached teams - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/9 11:55:13

Right. I could see that eventually, but there are a lot of - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 1/9 11:58:59

Well yeah, Geist and Puryear are gone this year. - Mizzmi27 MU - 1/9 13:02:13

Watson has big time scoring potential - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/9 12:05:17

I don't see that at all - FIJItiger MU

- 1/9 12:22:44

Yeah, Grant Williams is going to be a terrible player for - Mizzmi27 MU - 1/9 13:03:34

This has to be a ruse - FIJItiger MU

- 1/9 13:11:10

Agree, no one sees your argument as valid - Mizzmi27 MU - 1/9 13:16:22

Sure they do. Tons of players do very little as freshmen - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/9 12:27:59

I don't believe it in that degree - FIJItiger MU

- 1/9 12:41:27

The Schofield must be a ghost - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/9 12:50:13

That is due to role change, which is considerably - FIJItiger MU

- 1/9 12:54:23

The role change is because he got better (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/9 13:25:37

But initially possessed the capacity (nm) - FIJItiger MU

- 1/9 13:32:34

Mizzou has 5 players will all conference potential - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/9 14:21:24

Just Tilmon. No idea yet on Dru Smith (nm) - FIJItiger MU

- 1/9 15:04:41

You'll never change FIJI's mind. He has to argue - Mizzmi27 MU - 1/9 15:03:33

yup, but I’m bored waiting on a flight (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/9 15:19:09

Maybe, but he hasn't shown any of that in a Tiger uniform - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 1/9 12:14:47

The original question was can Mizzou be Tennessee - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/9 12:21:24

Tilmon's potential aside, we don't have anyone who is - FIJItiger MU

- 1/9 11:45:47

individually Mizzou doesn’t have to have a player - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/9 11:52:38

Cuonzo's best teams also have elite PG play. - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 1/9 12:01:09

There’s a couple players that could develop there - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/9 12:06:32

Okay, but who is our Grant Williams or Admiral Schofield? - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 1/9 12:15:39

1993-94 is probably the best example of an MU team that's - FIJItiger MU

- 1/9 11:55:38

Williams is the only Tennessee player that was considered - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/9 12:09:59

I'm not talking about what others felt - FIJItiger MU

- 1/9 12:12:57

Schofield wasn’t that type of player as a freshman - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/9 12:24:00

Because they don't have that capacity (nm) - FIJItiger MU

- 1/9 12:26:44

Why not? What about their body? Athleticism? - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/9 12:29:24

Partly athleticism, but mostly ability - FIJItiger MU

- 1/9 12:40:10

I think Mark Smith, Santos, Watson and even Pickett - ASecondChance MU - 1/9 11:42:26

I'm not sold that Watson isn't destined to have a sort - FIJItiger MU

- 1/9 11:53:09

RE: I think Mark Smith, Santos, Watson and even Pickett - ASecondChance MU - 1/9 11:42:41

I've not seen Dru Smith play, but I would disagree with - FIJItiger MU

- 1/9 11:43:29

Sure, especially if they hit on their 2020 class (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/9 10:50:35
