MU under the premise he knew he was leaving. The vacancy he took not existing at the time aside, due to class imbalance we only had one available scholarship that season from departing senior Justin Safford. We had Keith Dewitt committed as a recruit for that scholarship during the early signing period and continued to recruit Otto Porter even though we didn’t have a scholarship on hand because he insisted he wouldn’t make a decision until his senior high school season concluded.
When the regular signing window opened, Mike Anderson was no longer our coach. Thus Haith ended up inheriting an incoming class of zero and using those scholarships on transfers that had to sit out a season. So a retroactive narrative was created that Mike quit recruiting at MU.
