Why should that be enough? I work with people who I don't see eye to eye with. I'm sure my boss does too. Usually, provided you're not being disruptive or in trouble with the law and you're good at your job, you get to stay. By all accounts cam was not a distraction at ND and he's not in trouble with the law and he certainly would've been Mizzou's best offensive weapon this season. Kim can do what he wants, but I'm not giving him a pass for it
...Because it's KA's call. My view is, he thinks the little Cam would have added in wins didn't outweigh the negatives. Agree or not, his call.
The 4* players are easy enough to find on rivals. I can't link on my phone. I think they're j3, wright, tiki, Wes Clark, Gant, and post. All of them have shown they can play, even post who I thought was worse than rosburg but he's actually not bad. Of course, KA can't seem to find time to play him when it counts, but that's back to his dumb rotations. All those teams I listed have significantly less talent if you believe stars matter than mizzou
...I think you're right. So three frosh, and two sophs? Cycle back through the Rivals 4 starts MU has had over the years and let me know which ones were a big factor in year one or two. The list that wasn't is much longer than the list that was.
As for the outside the top 50 you don't continue argument, a) you have no stats to back that up, b) that's an arbitrary baseline, c) I can think of a litany of examples from the recent mizzou past that would be counter examples, and d) that's clearly untrue due to the fact that a lot of P5 schools don't sign 4*'s and they aren't all trotting out juniors and seniors. Furthermore, the argument has always been that this mizzou roster is devoid of talent. You really have to believe that rivals just totally screwed up to believe that's the case
...Don't need stats. Reason I used top 50 is I mistakenly thought that was the break for 4/5 star on Rivals. There was some talk on the bball board on this a year ago or so. There were literally a handful of players over a two year span from 50-150 that were major contributors as frosh. It just doesn't happen as often as it doesn't happen.
Yes Kim Anderson is a (former) mizzou assistant. He also was an assistant during the time when mizzou was on the downturn during norm. Is that supposed to be a positive? He also hasn't done that since 99. Wouldn't his more relevant experience be what he's been doing that past ~14 years?
I think he's been both a head coach, and a "D-I" coach. Just never a D-I head coach. Neither was Snyder when MU hired him. His resume certainly isn't as sterling as others, but who knows who really would've taken the job. Alden didn't make much of that public (for good reason, never want your current choice knowing he was your fourth choice). FFH had scared a few off with the roster depletion, that much is certain.
If I'm wrong about KA, you'll have more than enough evidence to show me how wrong I was. But in the unlikely event that im right, that will be quite the day on mosports
...You may very well be right. After three or four seasons, he might get fired. It's not like I see much on the court to really make me think he'll win. But his history suggests differently. If he is able to get his types of players for the hi-low, I think he'll do well. Maybe not Final 4 and National Championships good, but competitive in conference and making the tourney good.
