Yes, I appreciate their contributions to Mizzou hoops.
Yes, we will be a better program with better players.
No, Geist and Puryear aren't extremely limited at this level. Puryear has scored 1,000 points in his career. Geist will probably score 900+ in his three years, and plays his tail off.
Yes, it would be awesome if we had enough talent such that they were the first two off the bench. But they're more than capable players. The reason we're not winning a lot is not Geist & Puryear's limitations; it's that nearly every one around them has inexperience and or is limited.
Geist and Puryear both were key components to an NCAA Tournament team last year.
