[QUOTE="bert1991, post: 1390854, member: 519543"] This may have already been mentioned here, but the real interesting thing is the "play" for Mark Smith by Cuonzo Martin. I suppose it's possible that CM is an incredibly horrible evaluator of talent and still thinks under his guidance he can make Mark Smith into whatever everyone thought he could be, but I'm guessing his decision is based on taking a long position. A long play to encourage one of Mark Smith's immensely more talented basketball pals to take a look at Missouri OR a long shot to have Mark "figure it out" at the P5 level. Could you imagine that dialogue for the next decade against an Illini program that is clearly emerging as one of their fiercest recruiting rivals? Very little risk...other than a roster spot....but huge upside. Again, sorry that I haven't taken the time to read other comments as very possible this has been batted around quite a bit. [/QUOTE]
