Tennessee had 3 freshmen ranked higher than any of the Mizzou freshmen. None played as much as Pierce.

He might leave because he didn’t play, his potential is still really high.

Please explain why this message is being reported.

This makes me think Pierce is gone Too bad, he had talent. - Macgrantt MU - 4/3 14:37:07

We have to understand that players are going to - Tiger_1995 MU - 4/3 20:55:29

That's good news especially if it means Gates is changing - alstl MU - 4/3 17:29:43

Did you watch any Cleveland State games - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/3 17:45:33

I"m a huge Cleveland State fan - I have the record for most - alstl MU - 4/3 17:50:35

You would see how they used their bigs - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/3 17:52:28

The question then becomes whether he will change(nm) - alstl MU - 4/3 21:40:41

The change has to be - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/3 21:42:34

Like others are saying Pierce isn't a post. - longtimereader MU - 4/3 16:07:56

Let’s keep piling on…..Pierce isn’t a post. - alwaysright MU - 4/3 14:57:05

Pierce isn't a post player(nm) - MizzouAstro MU

RE: Pierce isn't a post player(nm) - slippers-on MU - 4/3 19:04:19

Gates decided to ride with Jesus and Carter - NWMOTiger MU - 4/3 14:44:11

Jesus was 9th on the team in minutes (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/3 14:48:44

And Pierce was 15th with half the MPG - NWMOTiger MU - 4/3 14:58:56

His minutes were normal for a freshman - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/3 15:16:33

So you supported playing Jesus double his minutes? - NWMOTiger MU - 4/3 15:20:46

If Pierce would've played more conference minutes - longtimereader MU - 4/3 15:56:55

I know a lot here want to see freshmen play a lot - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/3 15:27:49

Boateng better be able to play 15, everybody else - alwaysright MU - 4/3 15:47:22

Honestly looking at who is maybe coming back and who Mizzou - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/3 15:50:44

sure, roster will matter in what he actually gets, but I'm - alwaysright MU - 4/3 15:53:36

Yeah the team was well served playing Jesus - NWMOTiger MU - 4/3 15:33:59

Freshmen develop despite not playing major minutes - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/3 15:41:49

Lol.. You can't be serious. (nm) - Sigma MU - 4/3 17:47:08

It prevented them from playing more game minutes - NWMOTiger MU - 4/3 15:43:13

Game minutes aren’t the only way to develop - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/3 15:49:25

Game minutes & performance is how you measure development.(nm) - Sigma MU - 4/3 17:48:16

For you as a fan maybe. - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/3 17:55:07

You expose your lack of knowledge. Coaches want - Sigma MU - 4/3 18:36:18

Development takes time. - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/3 18:44:15

Development is situational and averages are irrelevant. Some - Sigma MU - 4/3 19:19:00

Shocking that 5 star freshmen usually play - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/3 19:21:49

Iowa St had a 5 star that saw 7 minutes a game. You are - Sigma MU - 4/3 19:25:01

That happens occasionally - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/3 19:28:58

That's totally not true - longtimereader MU - 4/3 19:01:04

I have posted information about freshmen in P5 - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/3 19:06:56

He exposes his propensity to promote the company line - longtimereader MU - 4/3 18:40:48

Hey at one time the " Company Man" was admired. That was - Sigma MU - 4/3 19:27:01

This isn’t even defending the coaches - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/3 18:57:30

Were the guys who played ahead of them as bad - NWMOTiger MU - 4/3 15:53:38

Most freshmen need an offseason in the weight room - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/3 15:57:54

Game minutes aren’t as important as practice minutes - haeffb MU - 4/3 15:56:04

An additional 15 mpg might have been a number that - alwaysright MU - 4/3 15:27:30

While I can agree with that I thought both - longtimereader MU - 4/3 16:04:19

I thought Butler played too much - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/3 16:55:57

Based on what you described his time was right - longtimereader MU - 4/3 17:27:53

Butler just physically wasn’t ready - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/3 17:37:41

Butler was exactly as ready as I thought he would be - longtimereader MU - 4/3 18:35:34

I wrote Pierce was stunted by just staying on 3 pt line in - Sigma MU - 4/3 19:22:21

He wasn’t stunted. He played and produced exactly - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/3 19:26:08

He did not improve from just hanging on perimeter at prep - Sigma MU - 4/3 19:30:50

He will get stronger. Then once stronger will be able - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/3 19:33:25

I agree he was as ready as I thought he would be. - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/3 19:00:02

Actually that is the criticism - longtimereader MU - 4/3 19:03:58

In the future when players are on multi year - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/3 19:32:07

Or it might have been a number to really help his developmen - NWMOTiger MU - 4/3 15:35:11

that puts him at a lot of mpg for a frosh - alwaysright MU - 4/3 15:44:24

it's the tribune. they def could've just f'd up(nm) - TigerA MU - 4/3 14:43:15

Pierce is more of a jumbo wing - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/3 14:43:10
