You are correct. We only have one ride left.
If we have a ride left and he truly is an NBA type of talent at 6'10" then why hold a spot? I thought that's exactly the reason we were holding one open. If it comes early then use it. If you think we can get better then dont. I liked what little i saw of him.

He decomitted from Depaul because he wanted to reclassify to 2022 and have guaranteed playtime in year 1. Depaul recently landed a transfer in his same position so if Gapare is adamant on being 2022 and wanting PT right away, we have no shot.

Kendall is more than 10 years older than Frank while Damone is almost 10 years older than Phoenix.
I guess it is just because I don’t know Frankie and I know Kendall very well. Hard to imagine how the time has gone by.

I’ll need to see a few more recruiting wins than a top 100 wing to be fully concerned he’s making Mizzou into a perennial top 25 team. I’d bet it takes him more than a year to really show progress.
For me, full recruiting cycle = traditional 4 years.

It'll be a while, but they will be much more competitive than a Cuonzo led team.

We've all seen what happens when outstanding assistants are hired. Gates got a good one in Young and that will help him bring better talent to Mizzou. If he hires another outstanding recruiter, he could have them back in the NCAA in 3 years.

Lunardi has them as first four out, clearly on this year's bubble. Not saying it will happen, but with the transfers going the way they are, I'd think you'd want good coaches to get to the tourney in year 2 at least. Under the new rules, it's likely BU would have done so IMO.

I don't think we flip 5+ games in 2018/19 with a few transfers, we weren't exactly a destination for really anyone at that point. The big grad transfer we got that season was Adonis De La Rosa (Feliz too from Juco), which says a lot about where we were.

NIL is big gamechanger.

I think Illinois has adapted quickly and funded NIL reasonably well based on our improved basketball recruiting.

I don't know if Missouri has big donors to fund NIL the same way. If they do they could upgrade via portal very quickly.

Unfair comparison before NIL and now with NIL. Missouri isn't a destination

Pretty common for a guy in his mid 50s to have a sophomore in high school. A lot less common for a guy in his late 30s to have a freshman in college. Either way yes makes us feel old when classmates or childhood idols have kids reaching milestones. In my case Gill was an idol and Frank was in many of my undergrad classes
