After a surprising, disappointing, exciting, and depressing 2017-18 that both began and ended in typical Mizzou fashion, the Tigers begin the offseason with several holes in the roster and one major recruiting target remaining.
Losses from 2017-18:
Michael Porter Jr, SF
Jordan Barnett, SF
Kassius Robertson, SG
Injured Role Players:
Cullen Van Leer
Mitchell Smith
Returning Suicide Vest:
Jordan Geist
Spoiler!
Additions:
Transfer:
He will sit out the entire season, but will have 3 years to play 3 beginning in 2019-2020
Mark Smith (former **** recruit), SG, Illinois
2018 Commitments:
Not a lot to get too excited about at this point. The success or failure of the current recruits in his class will be based upon their development rather than their Day 1 skills.
Torrence Watson, SG, **** St. Louis, MO
Javon Pickett, SG, ***, Wichita, KS
KJ Santos, SF, ***, Tallahassee FL
Xavier Pinson, PG, ***, Chicago, IL
Next year is a rebuilding year. Jontay leaving was a possibility, but not a certainty. That, combined with losing two freshman PGs to transfer and a junior shitbag PG to Cosby means that Mizzou will be bereft of experienced playmakers and ballhandlers anywhere in the backcourt, and no one with the rare ability to create in the half-court like Jontay showed. It's probably a 14 win team next year.
5/30 Edit: Jontay Porter is returning, making this team a fringe NCAA contender.
I'm done. I'm fucking done. This is not a conference; it's a cabal, a fucking good ol' boy network that picks winners and losers instead of letting them get decided on the floor. Those refs are 1000 percent on the fucking take, either to enrich themselves or to pay off a gambling syndicate they owe money to. [Reply]

One of the rare times we can agree. That was unreal officiating... [Reply]

They're SEC refs looking out for their own. Tourney would not look favorably on an LSU loss to us. Inexcusable officiating [Reply]
William Tecumseh Sherman is the greatest man in American history. I only wish he had burned more of that fucking cesspool on his way to the sea. [Reply]
If SEC refs were doctors they'd remove all your internal organs, sell them on the black market, douse your corpse in gasoline, set it ablaze, and then alert the cops that your family committed arson. [Reply]

NFL crews who were done for the year got some college BB gigs? [Reply]
