Barry Odom

Barry is 40. Kim is 61.

Barry has already had a better season than Kim.

Not saying Barry will be a lights out coach. but in no way can he be anywhere close to kimmie

You may not like Odom's stars rankings, but there's no doubt he does a good job recruiting to areas of need. Time will tell as to whether or not his players play beyond their rankings, but you have to like a lot of these players' potential. Call them diamonds in the rough or whatever, but that was the core of Pinkel's philosophy, and it largely worked, Missouri will always have to find kids they can develop into players that play like 4 and 5 stars. That's just the reality of who we are.

We won't know how good this class really is for three years. That's when it will be fair to criticize. Until then, judging recruits on ratings services who base their ratings mostly on offer lists is a bit of a fool's errand.

Oh, by the way, Charles Harris, Shane Ray, Ziggy Hood, Chase Daniel, Mitch Morse, Justin Britt, Chase Coffman, Spoon, Danario Alexander, Markus Golden, and many others called and said to tell you hello. Who were they? All players who were 2 and 3 star rated when they came to Mizzou.

Stuff like this just undermines his ability to get this program back where it needs to be.

The comparison is absolutely without basis.

Bump. Let's revisit this thread

Realize that post was last winter 808. Still bullshite but before this shite show started.
