I would say your thoughts are really good, fair and realistic. Moving Mizzou past a fringe top 25 team in those years would have taken probably 2 additional high end recruits and more athletic and quicker guards. I’d imagine the Mizzou staff has been frustrated with the recruiting results in those years.
Getting to the the round of 16 is a big step . Most years that means MU has to defeat a really talented team. The type they haven’t been able to match up with.
I do think to Pingeton’s credit her system got the most out of those teams. I especially admire Cunningham for her willingness to play in that system and help make those teams as good as they were.
