Shortly after being hired nearly every staff gets some recruiting wins based on the excitement and unknown of starting a new program, and then ideally you build on that momentum. Unfortunately at MU we had Michael Porter Sr as dead weight, then submitted a terrible year two and and even worse year 3, and a bunch of recruits left over playing time/role and we took some incredible reaches on others, and any initial momentum entirely dissipated. We have still never been able to create a program identify.

I don't think Cuonzo is a subpar recruiter. But his assistants are just not helping him nearly enough, and he has been loyal to them in the face of those lack of results.

That said, I do disagree with your last point. Avging 21 wins a season is the definition of mediocre in today's college basketball.

               SEC is dominate in FBall, probably 4th best in BBall - MoGold MU - 3/9 14:41:49
                    Exactly. Drink is crushing Cuonzo on the recruiting trail. (nm) - zounami MU - 3/9 14:44:24
                         4-star recruits for '21/'22... Drink: 7... Cuonzo: 0... - zounami MU - 3/9 14:49:22
                              It's clear that Drink has had more success on a relative - KC rules MU - 3/9 15:50:12

                                             really dumb take (nm) - zounami MU - 3/9 16:03:11
                                                  It's math. And a single 4 star also has far more impact in - KC rules MU - 3/9 16:08:47
                                                       There are a *proportional* number of 4-star recruits in - zounami MU - 3/9 16:22:04
               4-star recruits: Drink = 5/23... Cuonzo = 0/5... - zounami MU - 3/9 14:26:07
                    To be fair.. Cuonzo landed a 4/5 star loaded class in 2017. - TigerMatt STL - 3/9 14:34:33
                         Yea he has. - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/9 14:49:35

                                        but likely to improve (nm) - zounami MU - 3/10 17:54:52
                              Cuonzo put ZERO effort into "recruiting" the Porters... - zounami MU - 3/9 14:53:11
                                   He did put effort. Mizzou wasn’t the only school - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/9 14:57:01
                                        They publicly stated they wanted to come home. - alwaysright MU - 3/9 20:25:20

                                             Their preference was obviously to play for Mizzou - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/9 20:43:50
                                        LOL... We had the Porters before we had Cuonzo. You're so - zounami MU - 3/9 14:58:30
                                             You have the timeline wrong - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/9 15:01:26

                                                       $$$ that’s how the Porters came here - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/9 15:11:05
                                                            is Drink cheating? He's landed 7 four-star recruits in 21/22 - zounami MU - 3/9 15:15:49
                                                                 Probably so. Cuonzo should do that as well - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/9 15:22:26

                         No, CM didn't "land" those recruits, they fell into his lap - zounami MU - 3/9 14:41:04
                    They are both doing a similar job overall - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/9 14:30:17
                         Not in 2021. Drink had top 25 class. Martin around 40(nm) - TigerMatt STL - 3/9 14:38:07

                              and Drink w/ five 4-star recruits.... Cuonzo w/ zero... - zounami MU - 3/9 14:43:39
                         Wrong. The facts show that Drink wins recruiting battles... - zounami MU - 3/9 14:31:39

               no, THAT is the lazy excuse... - zounami MU - 3/9 14:55:34
