When I attended MU in the 70's I had a coworker that ran on the cross country team. He would don his sweats after work, around 9PM, and do his cross country exercise on his way home. One night while he was walking after his run, 4-5 young black men walked past him the opposite way and the last thing he remembered before waking in the hospital was, White Boy you are in the Wrong place. If a police car hadn't shown up they would have probably kicked him to death. He had broken ribs, lost sight in one eye, but recovered. But you know what was amazing. He told me, they were probably right, I was probably in the wrong place at the wrong time, NOTHING ABOUT RACISM, NOTHING ABOUT NEEDING A SAFE PLACE, AND DEFINITELY NO HEADLINES OR MANEATHER COLUMNS, Just amazing

you just broad brushed all whites and cops, - MU-TULSA MU - 9/29 13:03:41

Somehow you missed my point - MenInBlack MU - 9/29 13:44:23

I agree with that, but I also think calling someone a racial - MU-TULSA MU - 9/29 20:59:28

Also, wouldnt you agree - MU-TULSA MU - 9/29 21:03:25

If a kid thinks Kentucky, or Oxford, MS is less racist - HissingPrigs77 MU - 9/29 10:03:49

try aTm sometime(nm) - tmcats KSU - 9/29 10:15:31

In football maybe. Nobody is bothering to try - FIJItiger MU

- 9/29 08:39:37

Yeah, in basketball recruiting the other coach can just - Evenflow MU - 9/29 10:27:33

feej will never talk to you, he'll just make smart ass - Jeff85 MU - 9/29 11:32:43

Can't believe anyone feels an open question would be - FIJItiger MU

- 9/29 08:47:30

We beat out a number of similar programs for CJ - nerdmachine KC - 9/29 09:09:14

After the window of opportunity is closed - FIJItiger MU

- 9/29 09:18:24

That is the first recruit Kim has gotten since Teki where I - StaleyTiger MU - 9/29 09:11:28

The only 2 players that they've signed that didn't have P5 - nerdmachine KC - 9/29 17:08:39

I am more impressed with the process that the staff took - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/29 09:17:11

Let's be honest here, Tatum wasn't coming here - nerdmachine KC - 9/29 17:09:56

That wasn't the point - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/29 17:28:30

Were they not doing this all along? Were they half-assing - StaleyTiger MU - 9/29 09:20:59

More a case of now they know how to do it - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/29 09:27:25

So it only took 2.5 years to figure out the process? - StaleyTiger MU - 9/29 09:42:01

Well figure out the process for high level recruits - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/29 09:52:11

Not the staff. Fuller and Fulford new how to recruit those - FIJItiger MU

- 9/29 09:57:26

We're recruiting above low to mid's right now. Took a couple - Diamond Dave MU

- 9/29 09:59:35

I don't know how accurate the statement is but - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/29 10:03:47

Uh, no. No offense directed individually at our players but - FIJItiger MU

- 9/29 10:02:59

Yeah, because those mid-majors have seniors, - nerdmachine KC - 9/29 17:13:14

but a shot nonetheless(nm) - Uncle John MU

- 9/29 10:28:29

I would take that bet - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/29 10:04:59

Maybe not some of the higher level ones but definitely - StaleyTiger MU - 9/29 10:20:15

You haven't even seen the new guys play yet, - nerdmachine KC - 9/29 17:15:14

this class will surprise several on TB - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/29 17:33:05

Yea that's the point - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/29 10:23:38

No offense, but you are crazy if you believe that (nm) - FIJItiger MU

- 9/29 10:05:52

Let's break it down then, excluding walk-ons and guys - Diamond Dave MU

- 9/29 10:23:26

I know many dont like to discuss stars, but they do provide - MU-TULSA MU - 9/29 17:32:23

I don't believe your lists are accurate - FIJItiger MU

- 9/29 10:27:22

I went to Rivals and looked at the offers. Not who - Diamond Dave MU

- 9/29 10:33:08

For example - FIJItiger MU

- 9/29 10:48:50

I'll take Rivals over Rockm and the Tribune & you neglected - Diamond Dave MU

- 9/29 10:52:53

If I recall, Walton didn't have an offer from any of the - FIJItiger MU

- 9/29 10:56:52

Walton was rumored to be a non-qualifier. I'm sure now - Diamond Dave MU

- 9/29 11:11:15

Actually I am a huge hoops fan - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/29 10:08:01

We have exactly 1 player who is either a jr or sr - FIJItiger MU

- 9/29 10:13:59

Watch the freshmen play just once - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/29 10:19:20

so maybe next year, a mid-major coach would consider - FIJItiger MU

- 9/29 10:25:02

75% of mid majors would trade for this roster right now - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/29 10:44:12

You realize 85.2% of all percentages are made up, nm - MU-TULSA MU - 9/29 17:47:08

you disagree that at least 75% of mid majors - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/29 17:53:51

Cool, I guess I just disagree (nm) - FIJItiger MU

- 9/29 10:51:12

Compare what the 4 sophomores and Woods - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/29 11:18:34

Head coaches have to be able to close - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/29 09:59:32

Ok. You said the staff, implying part of the problem - FIJItiger MU

- 9/29 10:04:55

Those were Fuller's recruits... Look where they are now - nerdmachine KC - 9/29 17:21:03

I would say they've finally had time to put in the effort it - sprintcar STL - 9/29 09:46:26

If it is the case that most with intelligence knew - FIJItiger MU

- 9/29 09:55:18

That is correct. Kim started from scratch because he wasn't - StaleyTiger MU - 9/29 09:50:45

Well if he survives this year maybe it can be worth it - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/29 09:54:56

I dont know, if he survives by the skin of his teeth we will - MU-TULSA MU - 9/29 17:51:32

Might be worth it to Kim. Not for MU's program or its fans - FIJItiger MU

- 9/29 10:00:58

it was going to be a rebuild anyways - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/29 10:06:20

Or we could have just made a reasonable committment to - FIJItiger MU

- 9/29 10:08:15

Might want to keep in mind that the AD was told to hire - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/29 10:15:09

Marshall didn't say no. Marshall said what it would take - FIJItiger MU

- 9/29 10:18:32

And his criteria was more money - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/29 10:20:59

So then he didn't say no, we agree. He gave - FIJItiger MU

- 9/29 10:28:23

He said no to Mizzou's offer - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/29 10:45:29

Here's the thing that blows me away we went from Mashall - MU-TULSA MU - 9/29 17:55:58

Better options were available and interested - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/29 18:08:54

Agreed. It's really simple. He said NO. Otherwise he'd be - sprintcar STL - 9/29 10:44:30

our record can be used too(nm) - ajpe53 MU

But you can be assured that other programs are pointing - sprintcar STL - 9/29 07:46:18

Its a given. The frat idiots need to be, uh, "talked" to.(nm) - GA Tiger MU - 9/29 07:54:40
