re: Mizzou men's Basketball

Yeah, wasn't barebones when he got here. Look how many kids he ran off. Be knew we needed big men and recruited 6'7 guys instead. Nice excuse but I'm not buying it.

Lost just about 80% of all production from the prior year in Clarkson, Brown, & Ross. There was a reason that Haith left. A compatible rebuild is what Creen did at Indiana. Only he was a know/proven D1 coach.

This a joke right? You haven't named one single game changer. He let crap go. J3 didn't fit in with the guys. He said it himself.

Nope lol

I've spewed a lot of negative stuff against KA. I think they should have went all in for Marshal and not take no for an answer. But that's history. We got what we got.

Here is my real view on KA. I think KA could take a page out of Haiths book and go after transfers and jr college transfers to plug in to win right now. But, I don't think that's KA's style as we've seen. He tore this program apart and is trying to build it from the ground up. We know that, it's whats been said over and over. But I see it as a reality. We are going through growing pains doing it this way by having a young team. But it's his team and his young guys and his way. He is the HC and you have to give him that latitude. Now, I'm not a big fan of his recruiting, but doing it his way he has to recruit the best he can get and develope those players. Which takes time in hopes they can turn his program into a respectable enough program as to attract better recruits. Right now during a rebuilding process, those players want to win now and that's just not going to happen now. So, as much as I want to just pull my hair out, I have to try and give KA the time to run his course which to me should realistically be around 4 years.

I talked to someone I know today who played D1 P5 school basketball. We talked about KA and his coaching style. He told me we need to be patient that KA will turn out given the time. You can't really "coach" during games. That has to be during practice. Really all you can do during games is point things they are doing wrong and then work on them during practice and execute during game time. Just his opinion and what he told me. He told me this because I was complaining about KA's demeanor during games. Not a whole lot of coaching going on is what I said.

So that's kind of it in a nutshell for me. Even though I cry and complain and say sarcastic reamarks, I think KA will be here at least 4 years, maybe more, unless there is just a let off and absolutely no improvements. JMO

Yes. Martavian Payne

He's focusing on his academic life.
They are "evaluating his progress."
Could be temporary. Might not be.

Disappointing.Would have liked to see what he could bring to the table.

We have no chance at Porter any way.

We really only have one size guy coming in Nikko, who doesn't play AAU and only averages 9ppg in HS. Smith is a faceup 4 who I've heard described as a worse shooting Jankovich. So don't expect him to go inside and bang, he's more of a float around the 3pt line kind of guy. And Jackson is another Puryear, good player but at 6'6 is too small to play a P5 PF.

KA can't recruit for shite, and be obviously can't coach a lick either. What players have gotten better under him? He needs to go asap. Worst thing that could happen is we bring him back next year as it delays any success that much further. And he's going to cost us Porter. The dudes a cancer.
