He put up 10 points, grabbed 5 boards and swatted a shot at Kraziness in the Kennel, and has quickly made a fan out of his new head coach.

"Doesn't he look good?" Few said. "He's just a joy to coach, and got a great approach. He's just eating up everything we throw at him. He's a great learner, and a hard worker, and has just been a great addition."

"He's a beast on the glass," Kyle Wiltjer added. "He's really physical, he's really good. He's gonna be really big for us."

"To me, what ends up happening with transfers," Few says. "Ninety percent of them, all the fluff, the hype, the crap that's out there with recruiting, it gets totally taken out of the mix. And then it comes down to purely: 'This is what I want from my career. I made a decision based on this and I was wrong, and now' -- at least with guys we get -- 'I want player development, to be around guys I really like and want to win, and to play in the tournament' And that's basically what it comes down to. It doesn't come down to 'we got the most awesome waterfalls in the training room or TVs in all of our lockers or uniforms.' But when they're 18, they sometimes make decisions off of that. It kinda just cuts through all of that and gets down to what it should be all about."

He hit the jackpot in Nigel Williams-Goss and Jonathan Williams III.

Williams III was also a former top-50 recruit at a program seemingly on the downswing in Missouri. But he's another guy that looks ready to contribute to a winner in 2017. He averaged nearly 12 points and seven rebounds in 29 minutes per game last year, and is already drawing rave reviews from the coaching staff for his work this offseason and preseason.

"They possessed all of the qualities we look for in players," Few said. "These guys have a great desire to win, a great desire to play in the NCAA Tournament, be a part of a winning team with a culture. And throughout the process they expressed that to us. They have an unbelievable, insatiable desire to develop as players. We've had some really, really good ones up here, but Nigel and Jonathan are top of the list for that."

     probably play two bigs at a time - Jeff85 MU - 10/10 14:25:58
          I think he can be better than a role players - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/10 15:59:37
               he will be in a 3 man rotation for two spots and the other - Jeff85 MU - 10/10 23:21:39
               15 and 8 is not much more than what he was - Rabbit Test MU - 10/10 16:03:57
                    He wasn't very efficient at Mizzou - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/10 16:09:19
                         Few would take 18 and 10 - Rabbit Test MU - 10/10 23:08:39
          Jank and Him would have been pretty cool.(nm) - Rabbit Test MU - 10/10 14:36:39
          I bet him and Teki are both double digit scorers on tourney - tgr MU - 10/10 14:28:44
               You are a genius - Mr. Orange SU - 10/10 15:56:14
               They weren't ran off.(nm) - Uncle John MU - 10/10 14:44:05
                    OK. I didn't say they were. I said that had Kim been able - tgr MU - 10/10 14:51:22
                         He has been unable to retain Haif's bucket of transfers - Mr. Orange SU - 10/10 15:57:38
                              Or - FIJItiger MU - 10/10 16:08:44
                                   None but Payne were KA recruits - Mr. Orange SU - 10/10 16:15:52
                                        So like not Teki for example? - FIJItiger MU - 10/10 16:58:44
                                             agree. In your excerpt it outlines how Teki was a fuller - Mr. Orange SU - 10/10 17:02:44
                                                  RE: agree. In your excerpt it outlines how Teki was a fuller - StlWeir MU - 10/11 08:12:00
                                                       Teki never signed. He committed after the signing period - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/11 08:28:18
                                                  RE: agree. In your excerpt it outlines how Teki was a fuller - FIJItiger MU - 10/10 17:05:35
                                                       More Fiji logic. What does that have to do with my post? - Mr. Orange SU - 10/10 17:12:50
                                   He did not sign Gant (nm) - haeffb MU - 10/10 16:11:50
                                        RE: He did not sign Gant (nm) - FIJItiger MU - 10/10 16:50:42
                                             Gant was never released from his LOI - haeffb MU - 10/10 16:56:27
                                                  Actually Wright didn't sign a LOI with KA - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/10 18:18:44
                                                  Thanks for clarifying that meaningful distinction (nm) - FIJItiger MU - 10/10 16:59:59
                                                       No worries - haeffb MU - 10/10 17:27:28
     He's going to be a nice player for them - TigerUppercut MU - 10/10 14:23:43
     From this time last year when he briefly took the court - FIJItiger MU - 10/10 13:36:44
          You posted that already - Mr. Orange SU - 10/10 13:39:21
          He was a locker room cancer... -KA'ers(nm) - StaleyTiger MU - 10/10 13:37:58
               I don't think anyone called him a cancer - TheLegend MU - 10/10 13:51:44
                    RE: I don't think anyone called him a cancer - FIJItiger MU - 10/10 13:53:57
                         So what? - Mr. Orange SU - 10/10 14:16:36
                         Interesting, I have a hard time buying that one - TheLegend MU - 10/10 13:56:48
                              The only player who I think was a true cancer was Isabell. - StaleyTiger MU - 10/10 13:58:17
                                   RE: The only player who I think was a true cancer was Isabell. - kcsportsnut MU - 10/11 08:01:28
                                   Obviously you never watched Namon Wright on the bench (nm) - nerdmachine KC - 10/10 15:30:53
                                        I'm assuming you didn't. And I found all these after - StaleyTiger MU - 10/10 15:39:20
                                             That is what cancer looks like in the physical form (nm) - FIJItiger MU - 10/10 15:41:04
                                                  Namon just seems to hate his teammates in all those - StaleyTiger MU - 10/10 15:45:57
                                                       I think Isabell and Wes Clark may have been though (nm) - TheLegend MU - 10/10 15:47:18
                                                            I think those two are just very competitive and don't - FIJItiger MU - 10/10 15:51:13
                                                                 Having met Isabell, I disagree, but don't really care (nm) - TheLegend MU - 10/10 15:54:56
                                                            I don't think Clark was either. He just didn't do what was - StaleyTiger MU - 10/10 15:48:14
                                                                 I think Clark became an issue late in his time at MU (nm) - TheLegend MU - 10/10 15:58:10
                                                                      He very well may have after all the losing. I can't imagine - StaleyTiger MU - 10/10 16:03:55
                                                                           I would not label Wright and certainly not J3 as such (nm) - TheLegend MU - 10/10 16:24:45

                              Over a 9 game stretch against good competition - FIJItiger MU - 10/10 14:26:50
                                   So when the SEC schedule rolled around he wilted.(nm) - Uncle John MU - 10/10 14:47:58
                                        No. I think (my opinion) the beatdown by UK - FIJItiger MU - 10/10 14:52:18
                         J3 was really flawed his sophomore season - TheLegend MU - 10/10 13:54:40
                         the injury excuse is pretty good(nm) - ajpe53 MU - 10/10 13:47:24
                              RE: the injury excuse is pretty good(nm) - FIJItiger MU - 10/10 13:52:46
                                   i understand he was hurt previously but i doubt that - ajpe53 MU - 10/10 13:56:10
                                        Took away his base and athleticism - FIJItiger MU - 10/10 13:58:23
                                             How come you only defend/make excuses for the non-KA - nerdmachine KC - 10/10 15:35:03
                                                  Because that isn't true - FIJItiger MU - 10/10 15:38:56
                                                       That's was true in the early season games against P5 - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/11 10:19:25

                                             He was backed down and abused as a freshman against the good - Uncle John MU - 10/10 14:39:04
                                             He may end up being capable of filling that role - TheLegend MU - 10/10 14:01:59
                                                  i hope he does as well. he just wasn't good here as a soph - ajpe53 MU - 10/10 14:07:57
                                                       I don't disagree (nm) - TheLegend MU - 10/10 14:09:26
                         He is a quitter - Mr. Orange SU - 10/10 13:43:18
                              Like Demarre Carroll? (nm) - FIJItiger MU - 10/10 13:45:50
                                   No. I see how simpletons struggle to recognize - Mr. Orange SU - 10/10 14:04:42

                                                       I wonder how much Demarre or family members got for his - Uncle John MU - 10/10 14:41:31
                                                       Vandy fans probably hate Carroll - Mr. Orange SU - 10/10 14:15:36
                                                            Likely the irrational ones see him as a quitter (nm) - FIJItiger MU - 10/10 14:16:07
                                                                 He had good reason. J3 did not - Mr. Orange SU - 10/10 14:22:05
