time. I just disagree with saying it was late in the process so a necessity. Mark Smith hadn't committed to the Illini at that point. Nor had we signed Tilmon, Jontay, or Kassius. We were still trying to land Kevin Knox. Most of that recruiting class came together after the commitment of Harris.

On a positive note, Pinson really looks like he - FIJItiger MU - 2/6 11:36:51
     I agree - Still needs to add a little muscle but he is - Tiger Tim MU - 2/6 16:07:17
     everybody will sleep better now - Jeff85 MU - 2/6 14:22:50
     Meanwhile, Strike 1 just surpassed his MU PT last night - Mizzmi27 MU - 2/6 12:40:02
          That doesn't mean it didn't set us back 1.5 years - FIJItiger MU - 2/6 12:42:46
               NCST can't see his value either - Jeff85 MU - 2/6 14:25:05
               "Had we managed it better". No, had Blake managed it better - Mizzmi27 MU - 2/6 13:42:28
                    Blake is a player, not a coach. He doesn't define his role(nm) - FIJItiger MU - 2/6 13:43:58
                         Personal responsibility is a thing. - Mizzmi27 MU - 2/6 13:47:34
                              You seem to assume Harris is unhappy at NC State - zodiac6 JC - 2/6 16:52:56
                                   He left because of playing time, so I feel pretty - Mizzmi27 MU - 2/6 18:35:55
                                        He didn't transfer because of playing time. - zodiac6 JC - 2/6 20:25:28
                                             Mark Smith is playing this year. He was unhappy with his - Mizzmi27 MU - 2/6 23:40:25
                              That is what the old people used to say about Kim's team - FIJItiger MU - 2/6 13:50:13
                                   They are not mutually exclusive concepts. - Mizzmi27 MU - 2/6 14:01:04
                                        Yes they can, that is their job. (nm) - FIJItiger MU - 2/6 14:04:13
                                             No it isn't, that's nowhere in his contract(nm) - Mizzmi27 MU - 2/6 14:08:19
                                                  Yeesh. Good talk (nm) - FIJItiger MU - 2/6 14:11:42
                                                       Disagree, you still don't understand personal responsibility - Mizzmi27 MU - 2/6 14:26:31
                                                            It's all either a bunch of strawman or whataboutism - Domino MU - 2/6 14:32:36
                                                                 My position is rather consistent and unshifting - FIJItiger MU - 2/6 14:36:42
                                   Ah, the old trick of "when I'm on the losing - MNTIGER MU - 2/6 13:59:07
                                        Its an example, sorry you found it offensive - FIJItiger MU - 2/6 14:03:13
                                             It's not offensive. It's sad......very sad that you - MNTIGER MU - 2/6 14:06:43

                                                       RE: When an analogy calls for an example of - MNTIGER MU - 2/6 14:28:59
               The only issue was recruiting Blake Harris at all. He was - sprintcar STL - 2/6 12:56:24
                    But that's all FIJI knows how to do - Cosmo MU - 2/6 13:10:00
                         yes (nm) - 90Tiger MU - 2/6 14:19:24
                         INDEED (nm) - eatatjoes MU - 2/6 13:51:20
                         this^^^(nm) - SabertoothTiger MU - 2/6 13:21:42
                    Blake was never gonna be that guy - Domino MU - 2/6 13:06:55
                         Pinson appears to be twice the player Harris is. (nm) - TheWildcat STL - 2/6 13:13:39
                              Which is what this thread is originally about - FIJItiger MU - 2/6 13:14:42
                                   how were we set back at all? There wasn't an answer - SabertoothTiger MU - 2/6 13:24:22
                                        We had already signed Harris, he was on our team - FIJItiger MU - 2/6 13:26:06
                                             Harris gave his minutes to geist and vanleer. You would - SabertoothTiger MU - 2/6 13:28:54
                                                  We would have had 4 or 5 more wins last year - FIJItiger MU - 2/6 13:32:04
                                                       says no one with a clue about the game of basketball - Jeff85 MU - 2/6 14:27:34
                                             Some people have all the talent in the world but it never - TheWildcat STL - 2/6 13:28:16
                                                  Agree, Keon Lawrence was an example I used below - FIJItiger MU - 2/6 13:30:49
                                                       You should give up. You are never going to convinve a lot - SabertoothTiger MU - 2/6 13:35:37
                                                            just to clarify, I don't think its 100% on Cuonzo and - FIJItiger MU - 2/6 13:39:04
                    we know he had the talent/ability, and it was a considerable - FIJItiger MU - 2/6 13:02:30
               It literally had no impact - Domino MU - 2/6 12:46:41
                    With certainty it caused us to lose like 4 or 5 - FIJItiger MU - 2/6 12:49:39
                         4 to 5 games. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha(nm) - SabertoothTiger MU - 2/6 13:26:05
                              WVU, Illini, Florida, Ark, LSU - FIJItiger MU - 2/6 13:28:20
                                   3 turnovers in 6 minutes against WVU - hou4mu MU - 2/6 13:34:14
                                        Agree, we would win that game (nm) - FIJItiger MU - 2/6 13:40:34
                                   Maybe but he would have lost us 4 or 5 games too is - SabertoothTiger MU - 2/6 13:30:40
                                        Maybe, freshman pgs are shaky and inconsistent - FIJItiger MU - 2/6 13:33:58
                         lmfao (nm) - Cosmo MU - 2/6 13:12:29
                         None of that is relevant. Harris isn't a fit with Martin - Domino MU - 2/6 13:05:08
                              So assuming he landed Mark Smith out of high school - FIJItiger MU - 2/6 13:10:29
                                   Yes, because that's what happens when you're working - Domino MU - 2/6 13:16:47
                                        He signed April 8th, as the 3rd member of our class (nm) - FIJItiger MU - 2/6 13:19:42
                                             Correct, in the Spring there aren't a lot of options - Domino MU - 2/6 13:40:15
                                                  Agree, he was the best viable option on the table at that - FIJItiger MU - 2/6 13:42:43
                                                       He wasn't a necessity. He was a gamble - Domino MU - 2/6 14:02:22
                                                            Looks like we beat out Michigan State, NC State, UConn, and - FIJItiger MU - 2/6 14:08:43
                                                                 And still not a kid that Martin would have recruited - Domino MU - 2/6 14:13:33
                                                                      That doesn't matter, he was on his roster - FIJItiger MU - 2/6 14:15:44
                                                                           strawman - Domino MU - 2/6 14:24:58
                                                                                I think we are saying the same thing then - FIJItiger MU - 2/6 14:30:02
                              The notion that Harris was worth 4 or 5 wins is hilarious. - TheWildcat STL - 2/6 13:06:27
                                   Yeah, just because we could have used some more - Domino MU - 2/6 13:12:09
                         Which games did Harris win for us? - hou4mu MU - 2/6 13:04:36
                              He didn't, we mismanaged him and he left - FIJItiger MU - 2/6 13:08:00
                                   I guess NC State is mismanaging him too - hou4mu MU - 2/6 13:12:11
                                        That isn't what you asked. I don't follow NC State - FIJItiger MU - 2/6 13:13:18
                                             Nor on this topic, but that isn’t stopping you (nm) - WildCard MU - 2/6 14:20:47
                                             Harris isn't a good D1 guard. 2 coaches know it. - TheWildcat STL - 2/6 13:14:08
                                                  That's the problem with the mismanagement theory - hou4mu MU - 2/6 13:21:28
                                                  I'm sure more than that know it already.(nm) - sprintcar STL - 2/6 13:16:33

                         No(nm) - MizzouAstro MU - 2/6 13:00:50
                         No. Blake Harris isn't good (nm) - TheWildcat STL - 2/6 13:00:17

                                   I did. I watched our bad point guard transfer out and - TheWildcat STL - 2/6 13:05:48

               it’s actually pretty easy to see what the coaches want - wu-tangtiger MU - 2/6 12:45:03
