What's the Spill on Knox?

quote:

---

Apparently they had an interview where his dad said he wished he hd gotten a chance to know Cuonzou better.

RIP

Who knows if we are even getting Tilmon at this point. And I'm not surprised Knox isn't coming. You can't expect to join the recruiting battle that late in the game and steal him away from the blue bloods that have been recruiting him for years. Smith is also not coming. If we sign someone, it will be Tilmon. Otherwise, this class is wrapped up unless Jontay reclassifies.

Slow your roll folks. His dad said great things about everyone. Nothing has changed. That's why it will be like May 10th before he announces. C.Martin coming late to the game is bad but MPJ is great bc he can talk to him everyday. Tell him that they can be heros at Mizzou forever.. C.Martin can't have that contact. We r not out of this.

Knox has always been a pipe dream.

Dudes gonna stay close to home and has blue blood written all over him.

I'm ok with that.

I never expected him regardless of MPj and the work he did.

Tilmon and Smith and the big must gets for Gonzo.

These inferences made by fans off of quotes by his father are overblown (surprise, surprise).

Here is a little more context from TB

quote:

---

(mom and dad)wished they had gotten to know him better. And that he was not speaking for Kevin, who had been with Cuonzo more. Actual message . . . "In a short time Cuonzo has done a great job recruiting Kevin but the bridge was built by Michael Porter, Jr. He built the bridge, Cuonzo added some lights and made the bridge look nice." And followed that by saying, if Kevin came to Mizzou with MPJ they could be a devastating combo. If you follow the thread on PM, you'd see where the reporter said . . . Knox Sr. said he would let his son decide, and if he choose Mizzou would be because of MPJ essentially. Not Cuonzo. I read the same thing. Nobody knows where this kid is going. Granted the Rivals reporter, thought the "dad" was leaning toward Duke or UNC, but it was up to Kevin to decide what he wanted to do. Knox Sr. also said his own parents pressured him to play football at Alabama, but he choose FSU instead. And they are giving Kevin the choice, just the same. All crap we've heard before. Again, nobody knows. MPJ could be in this kid's ear daily. Edited by mooseamas2 at 07:52:28 on 04/21/17

to those conclusions. The reporter clarified, that he was talking about "mom & dad" getting to know Cuonzo better, not Kevin. Also mentioned the Mom liked the fact that Cuonzo was a black man with kids. The dad also said MPJ and Kevin could be "devastating" combo at Mizzou together, and ultimately Kevin wants to go where "he can be the man ASAP" We haven't lost anything. The quote was taking out of context. If you followed the thread where the reporter posted at least 10-20 additional times, you'd understand.

Exactly Right and the Dad actually said he and his wife, liked Cuonzo a lot. But he just got in the game a month ago, where the other four schools have been pursuing for over two years. Edited by mooseamas2 at 08:25:04 on 04/21/17

process - while saying that they're going to take some time....If CM was Mizzou's coach a year ago, the family would have gotten to know him better. Doesn't mean we're in or out - Kevin has spent more time with MPJR over the last month than he has any of the coaches recruiting him. Jr is our lead recruiter in this & MPSR has been to the same events that KKSR has

That's the real news. If we were are going to get Tilmon, we should have already gotten Tilmon

I am starting to think the Jinx Q guarantees are coming to roost RE Tilmon. Iam too losing most of any positive vibe. Unfortunately I feel he may be the domino falling leading to likely whiffing on the remaining 3,

If the above comes to fruition, what or is there a plan B for our remaining scholarships? I really am not going to be excited by any Grad t'fer and the most likely option would be for Jontay to reclassify and come to MU. Is there realistically anybody else available that would keep the excitement train going forward and avoid the sting of possibly losing out on three?

Don't get me wrong, our class even as it stands right now is very good and perhaps the best we have had since the Stipo/Sundvold class. I just got caught up in the "dream" of the fab 5-6 type class.

how do you plan on tying BO into this?

---

Well honestly was not planning to as I am trying to avoid being pulled back in by forces to make any more FB comments this early as I have obviously made my opinion/projections known.

But since you asked, I removed my cup for the BB program and now doubling down on my BO nut cup protection.
