the benefit of that is. We can look at the schedule and conjure up possible wins but the reality is the present course of deployment of resource is tending this team to at best a .500 record overall. So in that case does it matter if a player is a better defensively or offensively?

On TB every recruit/player is advertised as solid until - MNTIGER MU - 1/25 11:22:20

I don't know that is true. For example Pickett was the - FIJItiger MU

- 1/25 12:37:44

It’s 90% true. There are exceptions, but not many.(nm) - Carlos Rossi KC - 1/25 16:47:23

Show me state - I think I'm the only person who doesn't - alstl MU - 1/25 11:14:06

Negative(nm) - sprintcar STL - 1/25 11:15:32

Dru could be a good player, but still not the solution - FIJItiger MU

- 1/25 09:55:40

Except he did play PG at Evansville (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/25 10:06:42

He played some pocket moments at PG but was more of - ASecondChance MU - 1/25 10:56:52

I would prefer to see Pinson develop this offseason - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/25 11:06:35

I've been thinking about what the ideal situation would - alwaysright MU - 1/25 17:17:58

As long as he can play it well enough - Mormad MU - 1/25 11:05:57

Well, everyone said Santos would make this team much better - mizzoutiger91 MU - 1/25 09:37:29

Santos was a huge recruit when he was a sophomore - quicksand MU - 1/25 20:19:29

Santos is just behind and out of sync in so many ways - longtimereader MU - 1/25 16:37:22

RE: Well, everyone said Santos would make this team much better - oldtgr MU - 1/25 10:50:41

the difference between Dru and Santos is - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/25 09:52:21

Id love to know those people because you keep saying - ASecondChance MU - 1/25 10:59:11

It's interesting that Santos seems to be first off the bench - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 1/25 09:55:59

That's because Puryear is so bad of late. Santos has the - Uncle John MU

- 1/25 11:51:35

I think you're underestimating the talent on this team - longtimereader MU - 1/25 16:44:18

I sure hope so. I still think we'll need at least 2 or 3 - Uncle John MU

- 1/26 00:01:35

There’s 2 open scholarships - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/25 12:08:35

Yeah Puryear has been so inconsistent, it's frustrating - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 1/25 11:53:47

He won’t be all American and probably not - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/25 10:04:06

He's first off the bench because of his size. Our other - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 1/25 09:58:23

Nah, he's first off the bench because Cuonzo sees something - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 1/25 10:02:41

Which has been the case wih CM from the beginning - longtimereader MU - 1/25 16:48:40

Pinson should be ahead of Watson in the rotation (nm) - Uncle John MU

- 1/25 11:52:45

I think he will be once he's fully out of the doghouse. - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 1/25 12:10:09

I agree, he does a lot of things well. He may not be a stud - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 1/25 11:55:36

His defense was okay in against the lightning quick - Uncle John MU

- 1/25 12:01:59

His defense wasn’t very good - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/25 12:30:05

We lack any secondary rim protectors right now too - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 1/25 12:32:55

No. It's situational. - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 1/25 10:59:34

Subbing in a guy with length that averages 1.6 ppg and 2.4 - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 1/25 11:01:45

You realize that we have to play defense, right? I would - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 1/25 11:08:52

What has Santos done on defense that is so special? - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 1/25 11:28:18

You're wrong again. - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 1/25 11:42:05

Why are you being such a childish asshat? - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 1/25 11:45:58

We're disagreeing and debating. I'm not the one calling - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 1/25 12:03:19

All good I just need a drink(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 1/25 12:10:23

Me too. Sadly, it's only 1 PM where I am...(nm) - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 1/25 12:11:30

Only 12:30 here(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 1/25 12:26:29

One bad game - Mormad MU - 1/25 11:45:14

We can agree to disagree. - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 1/25 12:01:41

Same, he protects the rim better, and Suggs defends better - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 1/25 11:46:39

Nikko has to get in flow without fouling - Mormad MU - 1/25 11:49:41

He plays his role well enough - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 1/25 11:52:18

Santos doesn’t take minutes from them - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/25 10:05:58

At some point the question has to be answered as to what - longtimereader MU - 1/25 17:04:11

I get the sense that Cuonzo isn’t coaching for this season - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/25 17:51:54

I'm kind of on that same page - longtimereader MU - 1/25 22:05:38

Im sorry ever kid needs a chance but - ASecondChance MU - 1/25 11:01:18

Different positions and needs - Mormad MU - 1/25 11:40:03

Suggs took some nice charges too(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 1/25 11:40:57

My guess is that it’s about building the culture - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/25 11:30:26

Not the point at all(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 1/25 10:09:42

Santos shows more than Mitchell and Nikko - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/25 10:12:19

My point was first off the bench is your 6th man - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 1/25 10:16:43

I think it’s more because Geist and Mark barely come out - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/25 10:24:22

I think he's playing like he's rusty on offense, and he - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 1/25 11:01:29

Not necessarily. It depends on who needs to be subbed for. - sprintcar STL - 1/25 10:21:12

It does with this team because the bench is not good - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 1/25 10:24:47

the first 2 guys off the bench the last 2 games - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/25 10:26:59

I actually like what Suggs does out there, thought he played - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 1/25 10:29:48

And I remember those same things being said about Jordan - kcnorthside KC - 1/25 09:54:14

Geist is our leading scorer last I checked(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 1/25 09:35:37

Which is, fundamentally, the problem (nm) - FIJItiger MU

- 1/25 09:56:59

but he is indeed a scoring threat, like it or not(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 1/25 10:03:17

It's Mizzou. Prepare to be disappointed.(nm) - sprintcar STL - 1/25 09:34:14

Sometimes we get surprised - DevilsAdvocate KC - 1/25 09:40:04

exactly. the best player is always the redshirt guy sitting - TigerA MU - 1/25 09:38:41

Santos was pretty meh at the D1 level. Dru Smith - TheWildcat STL - 1/25 11:30:15

Well someone better do something Saturday, Mark Smiths - ASecondChance MU - 1/25 11:04:35

I’m betting he’s out for a week or 2 (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/25 11:08:41

Text him(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 1/25 11:08:22
