Interesting. I guess we will see who was right. I think UNI got a good one and will make MO St wish they had a different opinion.
Not saying your wrong, but this is the kind of thing we here, a lot when a kid picks a different school. Add the fact that he picked one in the same league, and there you go. I guess we will see. He seems to be a special player and comes from an incredible family.
This comes from a very good source who is major plugged into the recruiting scene.
I find it quite interesting how mostly middle-aged (and beyond) pot-bellied white guys in SWMO are so won-over by so-called athleticism while solid, high basketball IQ players are "destined for Drury."
I'd take Northern Iowa's results over the last 20+ years in men's basketball over MSU.
I think the Bears should've followed the UNI, Murray State, Gonzaga, Butler, Belmont, Utah State, etc. model for the last couple of decades instead of whatever they've been trying to do under Hinson, Martin, Lusk, and Ford.

Skill and IQ will play in a lot of places for sure. With the new landscape of ncaa with open transfers…. I think finding in state local talent is more important than ever.
There is nothing wrong with Drury. 99.9% of high school players aren't good enough to play there. However usually a D 1 athlete will kind of jump off of the page athletically in a high school game and he just didn't do that for me.
Why we have to bring race into everything? Sometimes it is about the system and where a kid feels comfortable at.
Mox didn't even recruit Judd. Criminal. She was gone before she was out the door.
that’s still baffling to me. Didn’t even offer Judd, who was a top recruit in the state, who’s dad played for Missouri State(SMSU) back in the day and who’s mom also played volleyball for SMSU-WP I believe.
she’ll do just fine wherever, but I’m glad she at least stayed in state at Mizzou
Drink has been trying hard to keep a lot of in state kids. And Gates has spoken at length about “building a wall” (hope this doesn’t attract the political board folks) around the state and keeping our kids.
I agree with the earlier post, MoState should take the Northern Iowa, Loyola, Butler etc… approach…. High Skill High IQ guy. You aren’t going to out athlete your way to an NCAA tourney Birth or win from the MoValley.

It's not baffling when you acknowledge Mox was gone prior to being announced as the new Cavs coach.
Let's not act like Ford isn't recruiting Missouri players. Half of the roster is from Missouri or the suburbs of KC and STL. He just went the transfer route from P5 schools.
6 guys from Missouri? Of what 16/17…. And that’s if we are counting Gipson and Pinegar* whom I think we can all figure out why they are there… 3 or 4 legit players from Missouri that might get minutes…. Hardly half the roster.
I get going the transfer route in small doses. The Valpo and the Akron kid can really play. You can sprinkle that stuff in and still be successful.
