I'm not saying they passed us up, but thats like getting mad at a kid for choosing the Zags over us. It happens and Marshall is a great coach. It's not as if they are hometown kids and have ties. They also haven't made a decision yet. I completely agree we are a better program than both, I just don't think because one kid sees potential going to WSU that is necessarily a refection on us. Basketball programs are often very cyclical and we are down. Hopefully KA can bring us out of it. We've all seen Mizzou rockin and supporting big time basketball and I'd like to see it again....My issue with the move to the SEC was that I thought the big 12 was a great bball conference and it might hurt us moving to the football heavy sec. I think the SEC right now has potential to be a pretty good basketball conference going forward though. It's a bit underated this year in my opinion. I think Martin, Pearl, Calipari, Donavon, Stallings are all pretty good coaches with track records. LSU is getting big time recruits and Ole Miss and Tenn both support ball.

It's not just one kid. We don't have any impact recruits. Probably no one who will significantly impact our team for a least a year.

I feel like I'm in Groundhog day because I feel like I keep posting the same idea. But the constant mischaracterization of the situation is really annoying to me.

Seaniec04, I don't disagree with a thing you are saying. Kids are going to choose different schools for different reasons. Even schools that I would like to believe have lesser programs. Heck the Davis twins chose Nebraska over Mizzou in football. Can't get them all. The difference is, in football, GP still landed Terry Beckner. Show me who the Terry Beckner is of this basketball class and I won't be as concerned about the job KA is doing.
