What about Gant's game gives you this opinion?

It really is odd that y'all are expecting more from the unproven players who have underperformed compared to Shamburger up to this point in college, or who haven't even stepped on the court yet.

I, too, will be glad to see Clark beat out Shamburger because that will indicate Clark improved a lot more over the offseason than I expect. We all agree Clark will be a better talent by the time he graduates, but for next year, it only matters who's a better player now, and that's pretty clearly Shamburger.

If it's not Shamburger, Mizzou is gonna run the point through a sophomore who has no starting PG experience. Clark just isn't at the point yet in his college career where he can knock off a senior PG who's already got 3 years of playing experience in college basketball and 4 years total on a college basketball bench.

Gant may very well turn out to be a bust as well. Only time will tell with all of them. As for Clark and Shamburger, I have no idea who the better player is. Again, time will tell. The experience certainly counts for something, I'll give Shamburger that. On the flipside, I'd bet Clark already has as much or more playing time against tougher competition than Shamburger. Who knows. Don't really care. The team will be whatever the team is. I'll hope they do well regardless of whether some signee excites me or not.
