Senior picture day is a thing for sororities at Mizzou now, they all line up on that plaza.

Not sure if this was coordinated or they just happened to be walking by and welcomed in.

Great engagement by the Greek Community at Missouri. Could really be a key advantage if Martin can keep that up.

Tilmon by the end of the week....

Knox Sr. had an interview on STL radio this morning...it was great, very encouraging. Really do think Knox ends up in Columbia too.

Tilmon, Smith, Roberts and Harris would all be at least 2 year players and very possibly 4 year guys.

Porter and Knox, even if they are short-timers, will lay the foundation for this program in a way that could be felt a decade from now.

I'd be content with that lot without Knox, truth be told. Hell, I'd be pretty damn pleased if it's just Harris, Roberts, Tilmon and MPJ. I'm really excited about what Harris and Roberts can develop into out of the backcourt; that's a very good set of complementary skills. Roberts could turn into a go-to, crunch time scorer and Harris has the look of an outstanding distributor. Both guys have the ability to be plus defenders.

Guard play will always be king come tournament season, IMO. Just those 2 guys alone (and Smith may be better than both of them; seems to be a combination of the two) could be the centerpiece of a genuinely dangerous Sweet 16 caliber team in 3 years, well after Porter and Knox are gone.

I wouldn't have much to complain about, given that outcome. I really hope you're correct.

You're positive you don't want Cullen VanLeer out there in Pittsburg?

Because we could really use the scholarship and he could really use the...uh....getting the fuck out of town.

I'm no longer anywhere near P-Town. I'd have no problem, though, with a transfer of him or Geist.

Neither would Mizzou

That would be insane.

I was listening to some show on the radio & they had a basketball recruiting expert say that Harris was probably one of, if not the best passer in this class. He isn't a guy who looks to shoot & loves to pass it to an open guy.
