The issue of defending is not the only problem, if you remember Jones was suspended for a half for skipping classes maybe there is more going on here, and we don't have all of the information available

I'm certain we don't know all the information. But if he's not a player and he doesn't go to classes, Haith needs to take ownership of the mistake and move on. Question is, if Haith brought Rosburg and Jones (Guess you could throw in NWC, Janko and Bull too) in, do you trust him to bring in someone better?

Haith has had quite a few blunders on the recruiting trail, but he wants his players to succeed both on and off the court. Otherwise, how else could you possibly explain him sticking with Criswell over the entire season. Haith could have kicked him off the team earlier in the season, and it's not like he was getting substantial minutes. For the number of failures he has had recruiting he has a tremendous number of successes recruiting. Many times last season I didn't think Earnest Ross would make it here at Mizzou, his attitude stunk. Ross proved me wrong this year and became a leader. Haith I believe just wants to see his players succeed, and in many ways this may be his downfall because he lets some of his players run him.
