I didn't do the math but I'll assume DW was conceived in C-UKendall is more than 10 years older than Frank while Damone is almost 10 years older than Phoenix.

I mean Cuonzo started off recruiting at a much higher level than this. Missouri has a history of not having nice things.Trent Pierce to Mizzou.
Gates much better than his last few predecessors. Border War will start to gain a national audience soon.
Cuonzo rolled the dice with the Porter's and it fell apart. Cuonzo just can't coach.I mean Cuonzo started off recruiting at a much higher level than this. Missouri has a history of not having nice things.
Kendall is more than 10 years older than Frank while Damone is almost 10 years older than Phoenix.
I believe in giving every hire a chance and conversely not crown them within a few months of their hire based off a recruiting win or two.Cuonzo rolled the dice with the Porter's and it fell apart. Cuonzo just can't coach.
Gates can recruit and can coach them up.
I agree. Really thought Boston College should have hired him when they had their opening. Especially because his wife is Senior Associate Athletic Director at BC.Cuonzo rolled the dice with the Porter's and it fell apart. Cuonzo just can't coach.

Where I go, Kendall goes. My son’s name is Kendal too but one L after the town in England.Met Kendall in person at a gym years ago. Class act, could not have been more of a cool dude/quality person.
Ran into Steve Bardo at the Indy BIG. Genuine guy as well.
Let’s hope they don’t get back. They beat us 3 of the last 4 didn’t they?I believe in giving every hire a chance and conversely not crown them within a few months of their hire based off a recruiting win or two.
I think plenty got burned early with Cuonzo’s early success, let’s not start saying Mizzou is back quite yet.

Stats and highlights seem a little underwhelming but they probably have to extend an offer regardless of his ranking....he’s a legacy from one of the best players in the program’s history
Obviously he was.Where I go, Kendall goes. My son’s name is Kendal too but one L after the town in England.
Overlapped in Champaign (co ‘88), Minneapolis (‘89), Seattle (90’s), Minneapolis (2000’s) and I wasn’t stalking
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.Not saying they are back yet......I'm betting they will be in a full recruiting cycle.
Consider that they're in a similar boat that we were and it took us a few years of terrible records to restock the cupboard.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.

Trust me that no one despises mizzery more than me, but they were able to pick up some decent players from the portal.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.

Gates has a long history of great recruiting. I suspect he'll have success.Missouri recruiting faces a lot of head winds
-- National powers like Duke, UNC, KY come into St. Louis and cherry pick the best players
-- 2nd tier status as also ran in SEC. No history of SEC football or basketball success
-- Recent bad press with 2015 protests that resulted in president resigning after football team refused to play
-- 2014-2022 (last 8 years ) made NCAA twice #8 and #9 seed. Average record 13-18.
Gates at Cleveland State
11-21
19-8 NCAA
20-11 NIT
Not bad but not exactly the next John Wooden
compare him with Brad Underwood pre Illinois
Stephen F Austin
32-3 NCAA
29-5 NCAA
28-6 NCAA
OK State
20-13 NCAA

With the transfer portal and immediate eligibility rosters overturn everywhere on a yearly basis. They have a great chance at retooling in one year, and it’s happened quite a few places lately.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.
