Missouri will definitely be a NIT/Bubble team. Their talent level will be really, really good.


I tihnk they could be an NIT team but NCAA bubble team, get out of here. They added 1 great player, that's not going to turn them around from 2-16 to 12-6 or better. Porter alone isn't nearly worth that. The only other real notable addition is a "solid" grad transfer. That team overall is still horrible.

You know nothing about what we added.

#1 overall player. Another 5* PF. A Center who is a top 30 player and was once a 5* as well before he had an injury his senior season. Two top 150 guards and a grad transfer who is one of the best shooters in the country.

Add that to solid SEC players Phillips, Barnett and Puryear.

Kentucky has a more talented roster. Nobody else does.
