So since no one else is going to start this thread I guess I will. We have a few new players that hopefully can contribute big time. This year's incoming class is led by 4 star recruit Tray Jackson, a 6' 8" PF, that was ranked as the number 84 recruit in the nation. Included in the class are two 3 star recruits Mario McKinney and Kobe Brown.
Coming off a disappointing 2018-2019 season in which they went 15-17, but lost the best player on the team before the season started, hopefully they can get back to the NCAA tourney again and maybe win a couple games. This is a big year for Martin and hopefully this is the year everything comes together. [Reply]
Well here we go with Cuonzo giving Nikko too much god damn playing time, while our top recruit for the year sits on the god damn bench. That no talent piece of Kim Andersen recruiting trash got 23 min and that all resulted in 2 points 4 rebounds. Wtf is the point of playing him? Im really starting to hate Martin more and more.

So we can't fire this bozo before May 1 of next year at the earliest. Unless they negotiate an exit sooner than that we could be stuck for an additional two seasons after this one. Depressing. Jim Sterk should be fired sometime before then. When you couple this hire with what he wanted to do with football in terms of the initial list of Anderson, Monken, & Holtz, I'm left to conclude that he may be an actual retarded person & I don't him anywhere near the next hire.

Isn't the department running in the red? So they can't afford to pay a buyout or give any significant money to a new guy. Mizzou athletics is such a joke, it's a shame. No excuse. [Reply]

Yes & no. Yes they have debt to pay down but there are also guys to write checks same way they made Odom go away.
Maybe Cuonzo will turn it around but at this time I see no evidence to make me think he will. [Reply]

Many areas of the university are in trouble it seems. Maybe the coach will have to stay, for sure they can't afford to buy him out then pay big bucks for the next bust. [Reply]
Once again Nikko gets over 20 minutes, 22 to be exact, and does jack shit scoring 3 points and getting 3 rebounds. Finally Cuonzo decided our top recruit Jackson could play, but not too much (10 minutes) because you just take Nikko off the court when hes scoring like he was. Jackson had 4 points and 5 rebounds in his short stint. Cuonzo needs to go since he's obssessed with freshmen riding the bench for shitty upper classmen that shouldnt even be on a D1 basketball team.

The 174th-best team (per KenPom) was just throwing off-the-backboard alley-oops against us, up by 20 late. And this probably isn't the low point of the season. What an unmitigated disaster. Sterk shouldnt be allowed within 100 miles of Columbia MO for the next coaching search. I just wonder at what point the damage done by the past 3 coaches is irreversible. [Reply]
