As Bomani Jones would say - that guy is a "stay ready" all star.

Missouri is in difficult recruiting position

Norm used to recruit Kansas City and St. Louis metros very well. However his sucessors have had less luck as recruiting has gone from in-state to regional to national. Brad has not relied on IL although he has had some sucess- Mark S, Ayo, Adam

Look at our 2022 class
Skyy - TN
Jayden - VA
Ty - MI
Sencire - OH
plus transfers
Mathew - TX
Shannon - IL

Great class - yet only 1 of 6 were from Illinois

rest of Roster
RJ - FL
Luke - IN
Brandin - IL
Dain -MN
Coleman- CA

just 2 players out of 11 from IL
Is Thornton in MI now? Yes I know he was originally from there.

DePaul has made the NCAA tournament a total of 3 times since they stopped being an independent in 1991 and joined the Great Midwest Conference. And one of those times was that year. Since then, they made it twice as members of CUSA. Since joining the Big East in 2005, their best finish has been 9-7 in conference. I think they have an outside shot at challenging that this season.

Some respect here. I appreciate it… wasn’t understanding some of the slander I received towards the end of last week. All love from me! Just trying to give people what they want - some accredited inside info when I receive it.
You should know better than to share credible information around here. Although I do believe this board is getting better at not chasing people away for having some actual information outside of speculation. Sometimes we can be a jealous bunch because we don’t have the inside scoop. I’m sure it will continue, unfortunately. Just keep being you, sharing what you know, and NEVER be wrong or tell us anything we don’t like.

Having seen Mosley play on numerous occasions, I will say this which is not profound in the least as his coach, Dana Ford, made the same statement....he is a walking bucket and able to score against anyone from anywhere when he is on. But like any player, that is not all the time, but seemingly more than most. If Mizzou can come up with a couple other dependable scorers who will play defense, they could give the Illini a tough experience in Dec. You never know, but they have at least one kid in Mosley who is comfortable going for 40 or 4 on any night if that is what is needed to win. Just a pretty darned good player but will be taking a huge step up in competition which I believe is in his best interests. In the SEC he will impress if he can shine while clearing a much higher bar than the MVC required. Time will tell.

Great get for Miznoz, to be sure. But Mosley ain't hanging 30, much less 40, on Ty.
