played 22 minutes a game on a championship caliber team. Andre Drummond was a one-and-done college player! Arizona State was second to last in the big 12. Not the best comparison.

Not sure what a player from 12 years ago has to do with Gates ability to recruit big men anyway?

Not that Phillips is great but he’s the backup to a 5 star - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/11 15:46:35

They aren't "needle movers" because he doesn't use them - alstl MU - 4/11 21:22:01

Well they all spend more than we do(nm) - DevilsAdvocate KC - 4/11 15:44:04

Do they have more money, or is Gates just a miser? - shorty MU

He doesn’t evenly distribute NIL across the team - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/11 21:30:04

Could be true, but I would bet that Mizzou spends - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/11 16:00:24
