I'd just like them to land in the same bracket as ku. I want a rematch.

Oh I'm not really back, just passing through. But thank you for noticing. I have put things in priority. There are some good folks in here even ones I have disagreed with in the past. This site is not a priority anymore. I'm just not into the alter posting thing or arguing stupid pointless arguments, but once in awhile, I can't help myself.

Poter and Tilman will be a huge handful for teams next year. They are already sbowing signs of gaining confidence in their abilities. They are driving to the rim more.

They do need press work. But UK put a press that was almost perfect. When Mizzou gets a true point guard, that will help break those presses.

I'll take this win no matter how they got there. UK tried to get physical and Mizzou didn't back down and didn't fold under the press. That's a good sign. Matter of fact, Mizzou came back and punch'm right in the mouth. It wobbled UK. They didn't find an answer for Mizzou's defense either. It was like a blanket. They couldn't hit the 20 point mark in the 1st half! That's good D. Mizzou won this game outright, UK lost it outright. It's a "W" no matter how you want to paint it.

Knox should have picked Mizzou.

Love the block M over the tiger head. Just seemed strange being white and not gold and that helmet needs some stripes on top. Maybe the stripes they use on the tiger head helmets.

I think we are all seeing, promoting an assistant to head coach in the SEC is not a good idea. Seen the same with Anderson. Competition on and off the field is much higher and you have to meet a certain talent level with both recruits and coaches. I think there is plenty of talent on the roster. I think Mizzou did not reach that talent level with hiring Odom and in turn hiring his assistants. I think with the right coach and staff, it could easily be turned around. This team and school has really lost it's identity. D-line zou etc. is gone. It left with coach Kul. The players looked outmatched. Glaringly against Auburn. I don't think it's a matter of talent or strength. I hink it's a matter of confidence and leadership.

I work with his uncle. We have talked about him several times. He said Davis has been down on himself pretty hard for not qualifying right off. Worked his arse off to get back and did it. Said he is an acceptional young man. I believe him. Not easy. If he puts the effort into football he has into this, he should be pretty good.

I didn't watch but like two posessions of the game. Watched the offense go into a shell on their first posession. Then watched the defense make two great plays on Purdues 2nd posession only to lay down and give up a 1st down on a 3rd and 11. I could see nothing had changed from last week. I just don't see the effort or focus there. Either due to coaching or players, there is something amiss. I don't know if Odom can fix it. We'll see.

There is some confusion going on over there. One guy posted an aquaintence of his lived next door to knox's grandparents and they said his Mizzou visit was great and that he liked the Mizzou campus the best. So it made it look favorable.

Then another guy over there posted info that a friend of his talked to CJ Robertson who in turn had been texting Knox jr. himself and said that Knox told him he woukd not be coming to Mizzou. That in turn set off a spin of crazed speculation and basic shite throwing contest.

Also on Tilmon. Some guy knows a person who is academically involved with Tilmon. Said that Tilmon will be lucky to qualify. So to no ones surprise there is talk for the first time of Jay Porter to reclassify now. Nothing for certain.

As far as Knox jr. I'm still saying nothing has changed in my mind because no credible sources to my knowledge have saud anything. Will he come to Mizzou? I have no idea. But I have a hard time beleiving that Knox would tell anyone of his plans long before his announcement dates. They have closey guarded things the entire recruitment why would he start spilling info now? On the other hand it could be possible.

So I'm just setting back and waiting. If he comes, great. If he doesn't I still repsect the kid. He and his parents have ran a reapectable recruitment.

Still think he comes if Tilmon comes or when he's on board.

He knows what duke, nc, kcats and siminoles have. I actually think it's more between Mizzou and siminoles. He can get the most minutes with either of those programs. It comes down in my mind to playing with talent and friends (Mizzou) or dads alma mater(less talent and maybe less friends).

One domino has fallen, Harris. Domino number two would be Tilmon. After that I think Porter has all the bullets needed to convince Knox to commit. It will be an epic upset of the blue bloods.

It appears. Probably for the better I agree. I'll just mark this one down as a brain fart on my behalf. Time to carry on.
