Has anyone seen what that dipshit Kim Anderson said about how everything went down? For a person who doesn't wanna make any excuses he sure makes alot of excuses.

Y'know, people have given Mizzou some shit about the whole 'hiring dad to get the sons' thing and say that clearly Porter Sr. is unqualified.

Man - look at that release on MPJs shot, though. That's just silk and it is automatic. He's been taught that from a young age - Porter the elder clearly knows something about the mechanics of a jump shot.

I'm not sure that there's anyone short of Anthony Davis he couldn't get that shot off against. At 6'10'' with a high release, he can just go up and over anyone that tries to get into his body. He brings it down to 'load up' and he'll have to stop doing that or some of those quick little guards will knock it out of his hands, but once he gets it back up, I just don't see a way to stop that shot. Once his legs coil, the ball's at/above his eyes. There's just not a good way to get to that shot without getting into his body.

Yes, if it was the short video of him with the Pitt State background. It wasn't awful, but he's still trying to defend himself. He needs to stop focusing on the challenges at Mizzou (he's not the first coach to inherit a shitty situation), stop calling out message board posters (mentioned all the people complaining on Tigerboard), wish Mizzou well and move on. I know he can't control the questions he's asked, but he should just direct them all to something positive at Pitt State.

On the other hand, I don't really give a shit. He's gone, Mizzou has what appears to be a coach who will return the team to relevance, and I'm almost assured of seeing CVL get less minutes.

Kentucky and Texas A&M also offered Porter a job.

He inherited the number 11 recruiting class. It wasn't that bad of a situation

To go along with J3 and Clark. Maybe Biedscheid was really a dope fiend, but he didn't do much to try and save him, either.
[Reply]

Right, that's what I'm saying. He needs to quit talking about the challenges as if he was taking over for Neville Chamberlain during WWII.

I just hate how much he made me hate Mizzou basketball. I used to love watching them.
[Reply]

The Kimsters have convinced themselves that he came into a post-Bliss Baylor/post-Sampson Indiana situation.

For someone who supposedly is about being tough and working hard and being "stand-up," Kermit sure does make a lot of excuses.

Oh, you inherited a minor NCAA investigation that led to losing ONE scholarship you could take over a two-year period? Boo hoo!

Oh, you didn't like the kids you inherited? Boo hoo (and don't give me that shit when you ran off just as many of your own guys).

Stop making excuses. It clearly permeated throughout the team's attitude. No wonder they lost so much.

But what should we expect from a guy who, as an assistant, couldn't make sure his boss knew a guy's name before an in-home visit you drove an hour to get to (Cookie Belcher, or as Norm called him shortly before Cookie decided to play for FUCKING Nebraska: "Corky.")

Yeah, his falling on the sword act is getting old. Own it and move on.

That's really ****ing embarrassing. I don't blame him for going out of state after that.

Kermit will be coaching about 30 miles from me. Caught his introduction at PSU. Sad human being.

Or as the head recruiter under Norm couldn't land:
Larry Hughes
JaRon Rush
Loren Woods
Chris Carrawell
Ryan Robertson
Tyrone Lue
Gary Buchanan
Cookie Belcher
Derek Hood

CHICAGO • Michael Porter Jr. is recruiting other Michael Porter Jrs.

Porter, the nation's No. 1-ranked high school basketball player who is headed to Mizzou, “has been in my ear every since he committed,” said Kevin Knox, another McDonald's All-American in Chicago for Wednesday's showcase game.

Knox, the No. 7 player per ESPN.com, said playing for Mizzou next season is “a possibility – I have one more official visit (I'm allowed to make), that could be it. … My dad has talked to (coach Cuonzo Martin) a couple times, and he recruited me when he was at Cal.”

Knox is currently undecided, and he said Tuesday he'll make his college decision after the April 14th Jordan Brand Classic, another showcase game featuring the nation's elite.


Knox is a 6-foot-8, 203-pound small forward for Tampa Catholic High School in Florida.

“Mike said that me and him would be unstoppable on the wings together (at Mizzou,” Knox said. “I'm just listening to see what they have to offer, and possibly make a visit. … Every day, he's been texting me, making sure I stay in touch with him.”

Knox has already taken official visits to Duke, North Carolina, Florida State and Kentucky.

Porter Jr., whose dad is a new Mizzou assistant coach under Martin, announced last week that he'll play for the Tigers.
