They will obviously evolve and improve as players via hard work and player development. But they don't have the capacity to reach that level.

Can the Tigers be TN good in a couple years - tigerinhogtown STL - 1/9 10:49:56

Absolutley - Tiger Tim MU - 1/9 17:29:39

All depends on recruiting the next two years....nm - HDTiger MU - 1/9 15:09:43

Cuonzo 4th year could look like this - nitwittc3 MU - 1/9 14:50:50

A team where McKinney and Pickett might be the - alwaysright MU - 1/12 12:07:16

That team would win 25+ games - Terry the Tiger MU - 1/9 15:24:40

Tilmon is going to play 4 years? - ERB KC - 1/9 15:05:27

that was the premise of the OP(nm) - tigerinhogtown STL - 1/9 16:42:33

No. 3 in the country? No. - ERB KC - 1/9 14:46:20

Might want to look at the recruiting classes prior to - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/9 14:54:33

That's good info. - ERB KC - 1/9 14:59:32

The possibility is certainly there - fzbarbeque MU - 1/9 14:30:31

Probably Top 25 good, but probably not Top 5 good. (nm) - thicks MU - 1/9 12:03:08

Sure, as long as they don't read Tigerboard - sfprman MU - 1/9 11:57:36

I doubt it. - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 1/9 11:42:57

Could be... not many of those guys were highly touted - itznotwillis MU - 1/9 11:19:50

No, not in a couple of years - FIJItiger MU

- 1/9 11:11:30

RE: No, not in a couple of years - Terry the Tiger MU - 1/9 15:23:28

You thought last year and this year would be dismal too.(nm) - Mizzmi27 MU - 1/9 11:36:09

Its baffling how frequently you misunderstand simple concept - FIJItiger MU

- 1/9 11:38:19

What did you mean when you said 20 wins wouldn't - Mizzmi27 MU - 1/9 13:04:52

RE: What did you mean when you said 20 wins wouldn't - FIJItiger MU

- 1/9 13:10:03

Answer the objective questions, not the subjective one. - Mizzmi27 MU - 1/9 13:15:13

20 wins is traditionally not good enough to secure - FIJItiger MU

- 1/9 13:31:52

it's not like we squeaked in - we were an 8 seed (upper half - zounami MU - 1/9 13:58:58

And Oregon (PAC12) won 23 games and went to the NIT - FIJItiger MU

- 1/9 14:12:22

Moral of the story - Mizzmi27 MU - 1/9 14:22:30

You were wrong; it's not that hard to admit. - Mizzmi27 MU - 1/9 13:54:45

You can't be a real person, this has to be - FIJItiger MU

- 1/9 13:56:47

I'm definitely messing with you, yes. - Mizzmi27 MU - 1/9 14:23:21

You even said WITH MPJ we'd be headed to the NIT - Mizzmi27 MU - 1/9 11:45:05

Incorrect - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/9 11:31:42

Just to humor me, who is that? - FIJItiger MU

- 1/9 11:36:50

Yeah, no. It's like you don't even watch anymore(nm) - Mizzmi27 MU - 1/9 11:46:16

I think you do watch, which is the confounding part if true(nm) - FIJItiger MU

- 1/9 11:50:53

Dru Smith, Mark Smith and Tilmon will be really good - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/9 11:43:30

Really good, yes. National title contending? - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 1/9 11:46:30

if Mizzou defends the way Cuonzo coached teams - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/9 11:55:13

Right. I could see that eventually, but there are a lot of - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 1/9 11:58:59

Well yeah, Geist and Puryear are gone this year. - Mizzmi27 MU - 1/9 13:02:13

Watson has big time scoring potential - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/9 12:05:17

I don't see that at all - FIJItiger MU

- 1/9 12:22:44

Yeah, Grant Williams is going to be a terrible player for - Mizzmi27 MU - 1/9 13:03:34

This has to be a ruse - FIJItiger MU

- 1/9 13:11:10

Agree, no one sees your argument as valid - Mizzmi27 MU - 1/9 13:16:22

Sure they do. Tons of players do very little as freshmen - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/9 12:27:59

I don't believe it in that degree - FIJItiger MU

- 1/9 12:41:27

The Schofield must be a ghost - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/9 12:50:13

That is due to role change, which is considerably - FIJItiger MU

- 1/9 12:54:23

The role change is because he got better (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/9 13:25:37

But initially possessed the capacity (nm) - FIJItiger MU

- 1/9 13:32:34

Mizzou has 5 players will all conference potential - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/9 14:21:24

Just Tilmon. No idea yet on Dru Smith (nm) - FIJItiger MU

- 1/9 15:04:41

You'll never change FIJI's mind. He has to argue - Mizzmi27 MU - 1/9 15:03:33

yup, but I’m bored waiting on a flight (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/9 15:19:09

Maybe, but he hasn't shown any of that in a Tiger uniform - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 1/9 12:14:47

The original question was can Mizzou be Tennessee - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/9 12:21:24

Tilmon's potential aside, we don't have anyone who is - FIJItiger MU

- 1/9 11:45:47

individually Mizzou doesn’t have to have a player - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/9 11:52:38

Cuonzo's best teams also have elite PG play. - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 1/9 12:01:09

There’s a couple players that could develop there - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/9 12:06:32

Okay, but who is our Grant Williams or Admiral Schofield? - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 1/9 12:15:39

1993-94 is probably the best example of an MU team that's - FIJItiger MU

- 1/9 11:55:38

Williams is the only Tennessee player that was considered - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/9 12:09:59

I'm not talking about what others felt - FIJItiger MU

- 1/9 12:12:57

Schofield wasn’t that type of player as a freshman - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/9 12:24:00

Because they don't have that capacity (nm) - FIJItiger MU

- 1/9 12:26:44

Why not? What about their body? Athleticism? - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/9 12:29:24

Partly athleticism, but mostly ability - FIJItiger MU

- 1/9 12:40:10

I think Mark Smith, Santos, Watson and even Pickett - ASecondChance MU - 1/9 11:42:26

I'm not sold that Watson isn't destined to have a sort - FIJItiger MU

- 1/9 11:53:09

RE: I think Mark Smith, Santos, Watson and even Pickett - ASecondChance MU - 1/9 11:42:41

I've not seen Dru Smith play, but I would disagree with - FIJItiger MU

- 1/9 11:43:29

Sure, especially if they hit on their 2020 class (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/9 10:50:35
