M.O.B. Votes:

he also never got to recruit with a completed North EZ facility, as the team didn't move into it until like July of 2019.

With that being said, I don't think he would have had near the success Drink has had. Drink is so forward thinking and personable, that he is the perfect coach to navigate the NIL waters at Mizzou. Barry is a good guy and people liked him, but I don't think Barry could have "greased the wheel" of donors like Drink has.
