In fact, I'm not so sure Duke didn't encourage him to transfer - based on Cooper Flagg playing the same position.

We may have outbid some other teams - but we didn't "snatch him away from Duke".

Please explain why this message is being reported.

Missouri 14 points at the free throw line - Arky 4 - alstl MU - 1/19 09:02:46

OR the players are bigger, faster, better etc nm - MIZtigerZOU MU - 1/19 10:24:57

You hit the nail on the head. (nm) - go tigers MU

- 1/19 14:33:50

BINGO! nm - thytiger MU - 1/19 18:39:08

Because Gates stopped insisting they had to be 3 pt - alstl MU - 1/19 12:30:49

The only system change was getting better players(nm) - BlackSheep MU - 1/19 09:29:07

Yep. That and not having major injuries and more depth. (nm) - go tigers MU

- 1/19 14:34:32

Gates publicly said he would not recruit any player who - alstl MU - 1/19 12:31:54

I don't think that's true. Last year Gates was consistent - phrejd KC - 1/19 11:31:39

He spent almost all last season talking about - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/19 19:47:50

And made obvious changes that resulted in a lot more - phrejd KC - 1/19 20:52:06

The obvious changes were in personnel - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/19 20:59:05

Obvious to people who don't understand what's happening - phrejd KC - 1/19 21:41:16

There’s a bigger change from season 1 - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/19 22:08:30

Yet 3 pointers was the difference last 2 games (nm) - oldtgr MU - 1/19 12:12:10

Dude who manned the 4/5 positions last year? - BlackSheep MU - 1/19 11:39:22

Right. So saying he's running the same system is silly. (nm) - phrejd KC - 1/19 11:40:59

They shot 3s last year because they no inside presence - BlackSheep MU - 1/19 11:48:16

I can't help you here (nm) - phrejd KC - 1/19 11:49:16

Nor can I help you(nm) - BlackSheep MU - 1/19 12:12:46

And...a Healthy Grill!(nm) - oldtgr MU - 1/19 11:21:10

YES^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^...nm - tigertix MU - 1/19 11:21:42

Yes. - Gavin Citrus MU - 1/19 10:01:35

Can't say that - BlackSheep MU - 1/19 10:37:38

Gates is clearly - Gavin Citrus MU - 1/19 11:12:30

Agreed(nm) - BlackSheep MU - 1/19 11:13:18

Adding Mitchell has been transformative in that regard(nm) - FIJItiger MU

- 1/19 09:12:14

True - a big thank you to the deep pocket NIL donors - alstl MU - 1/19 09:22:25

Crues has a significant NIL deal(nm) - tman MU - 1/19 09:40:59

Recruiting should NOT have to rely on - GA Tiger MU - 1/19 10:41:11

He left Duke because of Flagg - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/19 09:37:07

He and Tamar Bates are good friends. That helped as well. (nm) - go tigers MU

- 1/19 14:37:14

Missouri outbid dozens of schools for his services(nm) - alstl MU - 1/19 12:32:44

But Missouri didn't "snatch him away from Duke" - El Zorro MU - 1/19 12:40:16

He threw a dart at a map and hit CoMO. It had nothing to do - alstl MU - 1/19 13:21:45

It’s odd that only Mizzou is paying to get players - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/19 15:01:33

Uh, no. * - go tigers MU

- 1/19 14:38:52

Correct. Also there were really dozens - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/19 12:48:20

Your opinion - BlackSheep MU - 1/19 09:27:51

He grew up in KC and knew Bates(nm) - FIJItiger MU

- 1/19 09:26:47

And instead of following Bates to Indiana he chose Duke - alstl MU - 1/19 12:50:23

Yes but chose Duke, perhaps a little of both scenarios?(nm) - oldtgr MU - 1/19 11:25:18

I meant after he decided to leave Duke(nm) - FIJItiger MU
