I'll recognize that someone better might have been able to be hired and done a better job with this.

But I think KA started digging us out of something more complicated than a W-L situation when he took this over.

The dig-out is happening. The next guy won't be in such a restrictive and complicated hole as Kim.


Ok, I'm willing to listen. What exactly was this dark hole that KA started digging us out of that justifies back to back to back historically bad seasons? And please don't tell me about NCAA investigations because I'll start listing off team after team that has had similar if not worse punishments and didn't follow it with their worst 2 1/2 years in program history. Yes, Haith is a snake oil salesman but that hardly justifies 2 1/2 years of the worst basketball I have ever seen at Mizzou.

KA is not going to do it, maybe the next coach can recruit in state.
Look at 2018 and 2019 Missouri recruits. It shouldn't be that hard to rebuild the team. There's at least 7-8 P5 quality recruits in 2018.
2019 has at least 4 already.

There's a narrative that Haith had recruited bad people and that the trash needed to be cleaned out. There's truth to it. But I'm not sure Namon Wright, Jakeenan Gant, MGC and DA were trashy people. JW3 certainly wasn't. Torren Jones probably was. Isabel probably was.

The other narrative was that Haith rolled the ball out there and that he didn't get effort from his players. There's some validity to that as well. But when comparing Anderson to Haith on this charge, Haith looks like Bobby Knight.
