I have a good feeling about getting the guard this weekend. So where does that leave us counting the washington kid?

Its not uncommon for coaches who can recruit who get a late start to pocket it

I actually wont be all too upset. we would have:

2 pg
3 sg
3 sf (2 could play pf)
1 pf
2 centers

I was happy about our centers in their limited roles last year, more so then is seems most mizzou fans were ha.

Nope, need a grad transfer Big for sure.

Nikko can find a nice mid major I'm sure.

Mizzou made the elite 8 with Lyons & Carroll as the front court players.

Smith's most extensive playing time came against Arizona, he looked pretty good that game. Arizona is also 1 of the bigger teams in college hoops.

He's one guy. Even stipulating he can play C for the whole year (he can't), that's one player at C. At most, he and Nikko are spell guys at C. 10-15 mins total at most.

Yes. One elite HS recruit and a guy who's still in the league a decade later. Smith and Nikko ain't that. Come on man. You're smarter than that.

Actually someone with as much athleticism as smith helps a player who is 6'10 playing the wing much better than a center who clogs the lane

I doubt their the only centers on the roster next year. If Mizzou has Knox, MPJ, & Barnett getting the majority of the minutes then Smith, Puryear and Nikko will be passable as the 5.
Smith probably compares to Bowers in that if he gets his weight/strength up he can be a very good college player.

Yup. That's why the NBA teams have a bunch of 6'10" 200 pound centers.
