Mizzou had plenty of talent and scoring last year. This year you're likely going to start a freshman point guard and an unproven JUCO center. Don't you think there will be growing pains?

I was gonna say they probably miss Pressey more than they think they will. I know some Mizzou fans weren't happy with his ball security but on the flip side his aggressiveness opened things up on the court too.

We did have plenty of talent last year. I just think there was no chemistry. My personal assessment was that Keion Bell and Phil Pressey hated each other. Pressey personally choked away at least 4 games though one might argue that we're not even in those game without him.

I am not sure we start a freshman PG. But Wes is rated as a pretty good prospect. With him, Clarkson and Ross, JWIII, and Post, I think we will be an interesting team. Throw in freshman banger Jones and a Euro style forward in Jankovic and we could be really interesting.

I think that we'll really get a sense of whether or not Haith can develop players.

At least to start, I'd bet Clarkson starts at the point. IF IF IF one of the freshman PG's prove themselves in OOC games, they will see time in conference play as well.
