re: Shouldn't be surprised, but the level of suck

KA has lost the respect of the fans and players.

You have no real evidence the players have lost respect for him.

For the most part a bunch of these guys just recently chose to play for him.

And he's not been all that bad at recruiting given the complete situation. There's some half decent guys here.

I'm more interested in this topic from a social experiment now. In a part it's natural, but there is effort across the board to condition people to commit their emotion in one direction or the other and to block empathy for the other side of the spectrum. Polarization is what sells in the media. Strong division. I have no idea, but I think all of that plays into how common it's becoming for people to lack whole perspective thinking.

That was good.

Players transferring during the beginnings of a coaching transition doesn't mean the guys who are here don't respect him.

I mean, there's plenty of ways to criticize the guy -- saying he's not respected because people transferred in 14-15 isn't the best way to do it.

They probably would be 9-3 or 10-2 going into confrence play and they probably would have 10-12 wins in confrence play.

I suppose that's possible, though none of those players really have been great to this point in their college careers.
Look at J3 & Teki's stats this year.
They have combined stats if 12 points and 8 rebounds a game.

J3 is a solid contributor on an undefeated Gonzaga team that has played much stiffer competition than Mizzou. Last I saw, he contributes 10 of those 12 points you reference.

Teki has sucked at SDSU.

And it's difficult to say on the rest. I think any that would have contributed at Mizzou (Gant/Wright) are still sitting out so it's difficult to say how their college careers will pan out.

and it doesn't matter. they are not his guys, he's not responsible for them, he's responsible for this bunch

I wish KA supporters would make up their mind because I'm constantly confused. When KA talked Gant and Wright into staying I was told how great of a recruiter KA was and that he gets credit for those two.

So I guess the guys you're talking about that he's responsible for are D'Angelo Allen, Tremaine Isabel and TGC?

I kid man. But I look at the current roster and I don't see more than a couple of guys on it that get me excited.

No one on the roster gets me excited. There's a couple of good complementary players. That's it.

There's basically 2 players that I think can be plus P5 level players Hughes and Smith.
Puryear, Phillips, Jackson can be good role players.
I really like CJ Roberts though.
