1. I started saying that it would be his best not after he was first hired, but after the window of opportunity closed on him during the latter part of his first season. At that point it became impossible for him to ever upgrade the talent from the point he inherited, but initially when he landed a strong first class and had Fuller/Fulford and most importantly no track record of abysmal failure it was still plausible that he could.

2. Recruiting rankings don't equal best roster. This roster may have the highest recruiting rankings of any that Cuonzo assembles at MU, but unless he underwhelms he will put together better rosters in upcoming years. This roster is rather flawed, very inexperienced, had not ideal for his style of play. He inherited a crater, and is simply working with what he can. Which has been pretty amazing given where he started, but still I'm hopeful when he isn't in such a scramble mode he can have more balance and experience and higher caliber defenders and more guard play than he likely will this season.

Will MU basketball be better in 2017-2018 with - Tiger_1995 MU - 10/4 14:32:52
     I think we could be better in 2018-2019 with the 4/5-star... - zounami MU - 10/4 19:41:50
     There is only one person who knows, - MizzouTigerz MU - 10/4 17:23:52
          Do not speak for Me. (nm) - zounami MU - 10/4 19:38:52
     I would hope we would be better in future years - FIJItiger MU - 10/4 15:58:28
          if he can coach the rebuild is mostly complete - Jeff85 MU - 10/4 20:27:48
          it will very likely be the most talented roster he - alwaysright MU - 10/4 20:24:20
          With a talent like MPJ, this team is already solid - Diamond Dave MU - 10/4 17:58:06
               On a normal MU team, they would be - FIJItiger MU - 10/4 18:28:26
                    Poor comparison. Ross was a poor man's PF and Barnett is - alwaysright MU - 10/6 07:44:22
                    You're not correct that Barnett is a poor man's - Ohtiger MU - 10/4 19:49:26
                         Ross averaged 13 & 6 on an equally bad Auburn team - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/5 09:20:54
                         He avged 12 ppg and 5.7 boards on the worst team - FIJItiger MU - 10/5 09:05:31
                         That's because there was no one else to go to. Ross would - zounami MU - 10/4 19:51:18
                              Might want to check how Ross played at Auburn - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/4 20:09:36
                                   Similar stats to what? (nm) - zounami MU - 10/4 20:14:59
                                        Barnett - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/4 20:25:20
                                             Different teams and situations, but the stats are... - zounami MU - 10/4 20:39:35
                                                  Roles were the same - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/4 20:42:47
                                                       If teams/situations/roles were exactly the same, Ross would - zounami MU - 10/4 20:45:54
                                                            Holy “just make up some numbers” Batman! (nm) - WildCard MU - 10/4 21:10:13
                                                                 To make you happy, I went ahead and removed the - zounami MU - 10/4 21:39:29
                                                                 It's called an estimation. People do it all the time. (nm) - zounami MU - 10/4 21:27:43
                                                            Except he didn’t out perform Barnett - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/4 20:52:17
                                                                 Ross was a sophomore, Barnett was in his 4th yr (nm) - FIJItiger MU - 10/5 09:07:24
                                                                      This season will be Barnett’s 4th college season (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/5 09:17:59
                                                                           Good point, in that regard I stand corrected - FIJItiger MU - 10/5 09:22:07
                                                                                he averaged 13 on a similar team at Auburn - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/5 09:41:11
                                                                                     I didn't watch him play then, wasn't following Auburn. Only - FIJItiger MU - 10/5 12:02:07
                                                                                          Ross was good in a lesser role - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/5 12:11:31
                                                                 Those teams/situations/roles were not the same. (nm) - zounami MU - 10/4 20:54:10
                    Agreed. (nm) - zounami MU - 10/4 19:38:33
                    Wrong again(nm) - Uncle John MU - 10/4 19:11:04
                    Ross and Barnett had similar stats on teams - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/4 19:02:51
          If I recall correctly when - Wibb MU - 10/4 17:39:59
               That's not true. The roster could definitely get more - zounami MU - 10/4 19:37:22
                    Martin will likely never again get the #1 player in the - alwaysright MU - 10/4 20:33:11
                         Maybe not #1, but he'll gradually replace KA's deadweight... - zounami MU - 10/4 20:41:58
                              He'll never again have a class as good as this one. - alwaysright MU - 10/5 06:55:03
                                   He certainly could. Also, if he's able to land 3 consecutive - zounami MU - 10/5 16:01:04
               Couple of clarifications - FIJItiger MU - 10/4 17:45:32
               there’s a difference between most talented and best - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/4 17:44:43
          Spoken - chokingmychickenhawk MU - 10/4 16:51:36
          yet half of the pre-season all SEC players are Kim's kore - Ragnar Danneskjold MU - 10/4 16:00:42
               Randy Pulley was on the preseason Big 12 Newcomer team - FIJItiger MU - 10/4 16:07:42
                    Hilarious. Stevey Wonder could shoot freethrows better - Ohtiger MU - 10/4 19:55:54
                    I read the team picks these players, is that true?(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 10/4 16:32:30
                         That is what Dave Matter indicated today, assume so(nm) - FIJItiger MU - 10/4 17:15:39
     With the kore Kim left behind it's possible - Ragnar Danneskjold MU - 10/4 15:52:35
          Actually, we may have to jettison that "core" to make room - zounami MU - 10/4 19:35:28
               The core? no - alwaysright MU - 10/4 20:34:29
                    We would be better off with 5-star and high 4-star freshmen - zounami MU - 10/4 20:43:35
                         Mizzou is better off with both - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/4 20:53:43
                              Unless the "veteran core" consists of 3-star talent. (nm) - zounami MU - 10/4 20:56:21
                                   you mean like the elite 8 team MA had - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/4 21:05:35
                                        Yes, as opposed to the Final Four teams Kentucky fields... - zounami MU - 10/4 21:29:22
                                             Kentucky doesn’t do that with low 4 star freshmen - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/4 21:40:15
                                                  I said "5-star and high 4-star" which Cuonzo is capable of - zounami MU - 10/5 15:57:01
                                                  dammit, he was on a rol........well, he was on something - alwaysright MU - 10/5 06:56:35
     If we get guys like Ramey, Gordon, Watson, etc. regularly - AndyTiger MU - 10/4 15:30:25
          that will depend on th development of - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/4 15:59:50
