Of the anomalous 2017 class, MPJ essentially did not play for Missouri, Jontay played a season, Harris barely played and departed and Tilmon has been an on again/off again contributor.
Of the remainder of the top 200, only Watson is still there. Roberts left early (I barely remember him), McKinney left, and then there was Jackson's inexplicable departure that still has me puzzled.
Martin may ultimately be the wrong coach but I don't think many coaches have ever had his run of bad luck. Had not Barnett missed the NCAA game against FSU a few years back, Mizzou may have made a long run in that tourney with MPJ getting a bit more back into it each game and the entire MU basketball outlook could be much different now.
