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]

How soon before the university realizes Sterk isn't the guy either. Martin turned out to be a shit hire and he almost flubbed the football hire. [Reply]
Maybe the best moment of signing day was the reaction of Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz to the commitment of cornerback Ennis Rakestraw. The joyous, emotional reaction was well-earned. After a strong senior season, Rakestraw had emerged as target for the in-state Longhorns and the mighty Alabama Crimson Tide. Most predictions were a combination of those two schools, but Rakestraw surprised even his future coach by picking the Tigers and putting a positive spin on Drinkwitz's first class [Reply]

Most people were fairly distracted until about 2 weeks ago and now the season is almost over. Hard to invest in a bad team that's going nowhere. [Reply]
I'd like to think the improved play carries over to next year, but what happens if Pinson and/or Tilmon leave early? It's not like we have incoming players to make up for their loss. We don't win the last 2 games without Pinson. Watson should probably find a mid major to transfer to because he's turned into a complete waste of a scholarship. [Reply]

I’m not sure we’ll notice if Tillman leaves early. [Reply]
Xavier Pinson is a revelation. He could seriously be an all american next season.
Parker Braun is very athletic, and is starting to eat into Tray Jackson's minutes. Still would like to see Cuonzo give Jackson some more run and allow him to integrate himself into the flow of the team.
Good few games. This team, as they're playing right now, is a tournament team. It's too bad it took them this long to figure it out. [Reply]
