The last title game before that, UVA won it with zero top 50 players. Villanova had two when they won the year before that.

Is it better to get better players? Of course. But the idea that you have to have x-number of guys from the top 50 or else you can't win is f ucking duuuuuuuuumb.

people have brought up the desire to hire Gregg Marshall - OGT MU - 2/15 11:55:41

     You're right. No one suitable out there. So just keep Cuonzo - pinkman MU - 2/15 16:15:04
     What about hiring the next Gregg Marshall? - ERB KC - 2/15 13:49:51
     I'm not sure he'd be as great in the SEC as some think - HissingPrigs77 MU - 2/15 13:44:35
          MU needs to rebuild the program so that it is realistic to - FIJItiger MU - 2/15 14:37:55
          No one expects final four runs from him. How about a team - DHighlander NWMSU - 2/15 14:01:28
               Why hire a guy if you don't expect final four runs? - HissingPrigs77 MU - 2/15 14:06:27
                    Did you expect Final Four runs from any of - FIJItiger MU - 2/15 14:41:44
                         None of them have that capacity, Quin was the only - alwaysright MU - 2/15 18:05:32
                    Because by that metric any coach you hire will be a failure. - DHighlander NWMSU - 2/15 14:15:24
                         Yes, and they are because eventually they get fired if they - HissingPrigs77 MU - 2/15 14:19:15
                              Are they judged by wins and losses or final fours? You - DHighlander NWMSU - 2/15 14:22:31
                                   We're all proud of you for having a job. - HissingPrigs77 MU - 2/15 14:24:04
                                        Way to avoid the question. Are you judging by W/L or Final - DHighlander NWMSU - 2/15 14:26:13
                                             You're misunderstanding. It's that I don't care and it isn't - HissingPrigs77 MU - 2/15 14:36:10
     Marshall is known for recruiting marginal talent and - DHighlander NWMSU - 2/15 12:21:01
          Just a handful of NBA players - ERB KC - 2/15 13:52:41
               They did not pack the house until the Koch brother dumped - DHighlander NWMSU - 2/15 14:05:02
                    That's who we need to sign - Mormad MU - 2/15 14:15:14
                         True.(nm) - DHighlander NWMSU - 2/15 14:15:55
          He had some underrated guys that turned out to be - Jeff85 MU - 2/15 12:28:47
               Fran has been doing that at Iowa. - wu-tangtiger MU - 2/15 13:04:54
                    Some top 50 players does not cut it at this level. You need - DHighlander NWMSU - 2/15 13:36:12
                         You need 2 guys in the 40-75 range every year and a third - alwaysright MU - 2/15 14:43:29
                              Quin is the only one that’s done that in the last - wu-tangtiger MU - 2/15 14:51:59
                                   Personality of the coach matters more than anything - alwaysright MU - 2/15 18:06:46
                                        Quin did some things in recruiting that - wu-tangtiger MU - 2/15 19:00:37
                         There are four schools in the SEC with more than two top 50 - HissingPrigs77 MU - 2/15 14:17:46
                         You will be frustrated with any coach - wu-tangtiger MU - 2/15 13:41:31
                              There were 13 top 50 recruits signed last year in the SEC - DHighlander NWMSU - 2/15 14:00:08
                                   Mizzou’s path to success isn’t to out recruit - wu-tangtiger MU - 2/15 14:19:12
                                        Almost no one in the SEC has four top 50 guys - HissingPrigs77 MU - 2/15 14:34:41
                                             3-4 is what final 4 teams usually have. - wu-tangtiger MU - 2/15 14:38:53
                                                  Baylor won it all without a single top 50 recruit. - HissingPrigs77 MU - 2/15 14:56:03
                                                       Baylor is the exception - wu-tangtiger MU - 2/15 14:59:23
                                                            You move goalposts faster than Stan Kroenke - HissingPrigs77 MU - 2/15 15:05:28
                                                                 There a reason I have said top 50ish not top 50 - wu-tangtiger MU - 2/15 15:11:02
                                                                      Not could ignore, should ignore those guys. - alwaysright MU - 2/15 18:08:11
                                        Really 3-4 on the roster? How exactly is that different - DHighlander NWMSU - 2/15 14:24:23
                                             You included needing to get top 20 recruits - wu-tangtiger MU - 2/15 14:28:56
                    And most Iowa fans complain about him non stop - Jeff85 MU - 2/15 13:09:25
                         You talk to a lot of iowa fans?(nm) - TigerA MU - 2/15 13:13:44
                              I do. My whole family is from Iowa. They don't like Fran. - HissingPrigs77 MU - 2/15 14:22:35
                              I live really close to the Iowa line and spend a lot - Jeff85 MU - 2/15 13:15:02
               Exactly what I said, he took guys that were not in demand - DHighlander NWMSU - 2/15 12:43:14
                    If you think guys make it to the NBA without elite ability - Jeff85 MU - 2/15 12:49:40
                         And if you think guys make it to the NBA on ability alone - DHighlander NWMSU - 2/15 13:33:21
                              Can’t teach genetics and without them all the development in - Jeff85 MU - 2/15 15:48:08

     You're always taking a chance...if you go D2 do you get - Mormad MU - 2/15 12:05:45
          Bo Ryan wasn't hired from D2, MU is the only - FIJItiger MU - 2/15 12:06:46
               Go check NC state. It wasn't even D2(nm) - tman MU - 2/15 13:52:27
                    Neither was Ryan.....he was DIII and then went - Mormad MU - 2/15 14:23:11
               Fine, from the Midwestern Collegiate Conference - Mormad MU - 2/15 12:08:59
                    I would prefer we not hire Kim Anderson, if I get my choice(nm) - FIJItiger MU - 2/15 12:13:20
                         I'd prefer an upgrade over what we have - Mormad MU - 2/15 12:19:50
                              I'm not sure its realistic that MU will ever finish top 3rd - FIJItiger MU - 2/15 12:22:35
                                   It isn't closed, but it's uphill for sure - Mormad MU - 2/15 12:24:06
                                        Oh, you mean like Gregg Marshall. Agreed (nm) - FIJItiger MU - 2/15 12:25:35
                                             You missed the part about aggregating talent - Mormad MU - 2/15 12:54:39
                                                  I've not seen any update on him since he stepped away - FIJItiger MU - 2/15 12:59:39

          You will never let this go no matter how wrong you - Jeff85 MU - 2/15 12:25:52
               Like Texas Tech grabbing Bobby Knight(nm) - Mormad MU - 2/15 13:01:24
                    More like Houston grabbing Kelvin Sampson (nm) - FIJItiger MU - 2/15 14:34:39
               He was 23-8 his last season. If that is decline then sign - DHighlander NWMSU - 2/15 12:45:24

                         Yes, it was Haith's worst season. It would be CM's best by - DHighlander NWMSU - 2/15 14:02:44
                              They lost at home in the nit with a high level NBA player - Jeff85 MU - 2/15 16:04:54
                              NIT is not better than making the NCAA tournament (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 2/15 14:20:20
               Agreed. I still like MU bb, and hold on to the slim notion - FIJItiger MU - 2/15 12:27:42
