Missouri Tigers Athletics :: Mizzou College Sports :: TigerBoard.com :: It’s not true that defense and rebounding aren’t priorities

Agree or not? I think we have to patch together a decent - Tiger_1995 MU - 3/11 11:15:16

We aren't doing anything - warren7 MU - 3/11 17:38:18

That’s the type of year with a new AD - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 17:44:34

Doesn't MU have the 4th-ranked recruiting class next year? - ERB KC - 3/11 14:50:00

You think freshmen and the current bunch are going to be - Tiger_1995 MU - 3/11 18:08:45

Getting Honor and Carter off the floor - Nazfan MU - 3/12 11:51:52

Only if the roster is upgraded. - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/12 11:55:05

if you Tonje and Grill come back, this team needs 1 or 2 - HissingPrigs77 MU - 3/11 14:14:31

LOL! We were not good this year at all. I am tired of - Tiger_1995 MU - 3/11 18:09:47

Assuming Bates, Grill, and Tonje return, this team needs - tsutiger57 MU - 3/11 15:10:20

We can't count on Bates, Grill, and Tonje coming back. And, - Tiger_1995 MU - 3/11 18:12:02

I would go after 3 players if both of them return - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 14:19:26

If Bates, Grill, and Tonje are our best 3 players next year, - Tiger_1995 MU - 3/11 18:13:09

No one is saying they will be the 3 best players. - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 18:18:45

We need at least 3 new players better than we have now(nm) - Tiger_1995 MU - 3/11 18:27:45

I doubt you see Mizzou add 3 better - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 18:44:08

Again... we should aim higher. Tamar Bates is not going to - Tiger_1995 MU - 3/11 18:49:22

What team added 2 NBA players in the portal - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 18:51:55

I don't know but that is what we need if we want to win like - Tiger_1995 MU - 3/11 18:54:07

I think you are going to have to accept - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 19:16:02

We need serious NIL money. We need to pretend that MU wants - Tiger_1995 MU - 3/11 19:37:38

That’s well and good. It just might take more - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 19:43:06

Sure, but what will truly move the needle is - HissingPrigs77 MU - 3/11 16:38:43

I get your point but we should be aiming for much - Tiger_1995 MU - 3/11 18:15:16

Mizzou has never been a NCAA tournament team - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 18:19:40

They did not let as many in during Norm's years. Now they - Tiger_1995 MU - 3/11 18:26:49

Norm made it 66% of the time under the expanded - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 18:29:40

Norm was a good coach. That is why there is a statue of him - Tiger_1995 MU - 3/11 18:31:48

Your minimum expectation for the program - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 18:42:16

Yes! As it should be. Why have the program and sink all of - Tiger_1995 MU - 3/11 18:44:23

Mizzou hasn’t sunk much money into the program - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 18:50:49

I agree 100%.(nm) - Tiger_1995 MU - 3/11 18:54:41

Gates never missed a jump shot or a rebound - samclemens MU

- 3/11 12:50:56

Did you see his offensive strategy and subsitutions?(nm) - Tiger_1995 MU - 3/11 13:28:22

Mizzou had an elite offense last year - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 14:03:08

You have to adapt to the players you have. PPG this year was - Tiger_1995 MU - 3/11 18:33:52

Maybe not if coaches and teams you play make smart - gaber c. MU - 3/11 14:59:09

The things last years team was good at - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 15:01:39

And so if we have weaknesses at any point in the future - gaber c. MU - 3/11 15:09:01

He’s going to have to recruit better - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 15:20:35

I think all last year proved was that Mizzou had 2 - gaber c. MU - 3/11 15:26:15

Crews couldn’t recruit - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 15:32:18

He never recruited and coached so poorly that his - gaber c. MU - 3/11 15:34:33

If Gates keeps his recruiting up - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 15:45:20

Gates proving himself to you is like Jim Jones - gaber c. MU - 3/11 15:51:15

Being angry doesn’t help you. - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 15:57:03

You should honestly examine the reason Dennis Gates - gaber c. MU - 3/11 16:15:20

We know why he was hired. - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 16:45:56

Hiring a guy like McCollum who's won what 3 or 4 - gaber c. MU - 3/11 17:13:22

My stance on McCollum is well known here - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 17:24:01

Thanks at last for an honest, reasonable response. - gaber c. MU - 3/11 17:30:18

They have all been honest - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 17:33:16

If Mizzou had won a national championship last year - gaber c. MU - 3/11 18:11:43

It’s exactly a good season and a bad season - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 18:17:10

So the top 6 players would have been guards and one - gaber c. MU - 3/11 18:38:59

Now you are coming around to the roster construction - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 18:41:09

Every team faces problems every year. - gaber c. MU - 3/11 18:47:55

This team wasn’t in position to overcome - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 18:53:43

No team Gates coaches where he overplays guards - gaber c. MU - 3/11 19:03:07

You keep circling back to the known roster issues - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 19:19:04

I see Gates is accepting responsibility for the terrible - gaber c. MU - 3/11 19:32:11

I think he wishes he would have done better in the portal - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 19:45:37

You get the PPD award. Pointless Post of the Day.(nm) - GA Tiger MU - 3/11 13:20:13

He recruited every player on the team - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 12:55:48

We either pay to get 4 good players in the portal or we pay - Tiger_1995 MU - 3/11 12:33:03

I would bet Bates is top 3 if he returns. - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 14:41:17

They aren't good enough.(nm) - Tiger_1995 MU - 3/11 18:55:18

It doesn’t take four players to replace Kobe and D’moi (nm) - haeffb MU - 3/11 14:31:57

OK, I will take 2 as good as them. That is what we need to - Tiger_1995 MU - 3/11 18:56:18

You forgot to switch to your gaber handle (nm) - ChinaTiger KC - 3/11 12:50:07

Oh boy. Another one of these idiotic internet playbook - gaber c. MU - 3/11 15:48:07

I barely have the desire to deal with TB with one - Tiger_1995 MU - 3/11 13:30:02

You post the same thing here every day - ChinaTiger KC - 3/11 14:17:55

Odd that people post the same thing on here every - gaber c. MU - 3/11 15:14:53

you replying to yourself?(nm) - TigerA MU - 3/11 12:36:12

So?(nm) - Tiger_1995 MU - 3/11 13:27:15

totally normal behavior(nm) - TigerA MU - 3/11 13:29:29

I was responding to what some of you said AFTER I posted(nm) - Tiger_1995 MU - 3/11 13:30:37

Whoops, Sue’d it(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 3/11 12:43:59

The problem is he picks the players, we need another Honor - tigertix MU - 3/11 12:21:27

^thinks he’s being clever typing 0-19^(nm) - redngray MU - 3/11 12:58:04

Those 2 were really good as complimentary parts - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 12:37:34

agree but there is no reason for them to still be playing - TigerA MU - 3/11 12:39:36

Who replaces them? - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 12:46:10

robinson played 17 min and honor played 32. swap that - TigerA MU - 3/11 12:48:38

Playing freshmen more than they are ready for - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 12:54:38

Actually making mistakes makes people better - gaber c. MU - 3/11 14:52:03

The freshmen all played. - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 14:55:31

That's funny because when I play guitar or play chess - gaber c. MU - 3/11 15:05:36

Yes because playing chess is the same as basketball - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 15:06:44

In a program that values defense and rebounding like - gaber c. MU - 3/11 15:11:35

We need much better than Honor or Carter. We need to spend(nm) - Tiger_1995 MU - 3/11 12:29:22

we can but I dont think we have to.(nm) - SuperTone MU

- 3/11 12:13:41

Do you actually think we could have a decent season next - Tiger_1995 MU - 3/11 13:39:20

I dont think you understand what you read - SuperTone MU

- 3/11 13:44:16

We have nothing to do with it. Gates either figures it out - DHighlander NWMSU - 3/11 11:54:35

Looking back at his past I don't he has ever had to climb - tigertix MU - 3/11 12:23:32

I don't think he has ever had to climb out.....nm - tigertix MU - 3/11 12:24:41

WOW! WHAT A BRILLIANT STRATEGY! I had never - Carlos Rossi KC - 3/11 11:54:02

It's more than just a talent issue with Gates. - gaber c. MU - 3/11 11:52:19

It’s not true that defense and rebounding aren’t priorities - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 11:54:49

You can't just say that and make it so. - gaber c. MU - 3/11 12:03:22

Expand your look beyond just this season - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 12:07:03

Wouldn't it be about game 3 that a reasonable person - gaber c. MU - 3/11 12:43:17

They did try some different strategies - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 12:48:07

You seem to be confusing lack of success - Mormad MU - 3/11 12:06:28

Maybe you're the one who saw Gates and Mizzou have a - gaber c. MU - 3/11 12:18:56

Certainly possible - Mormad MU - 3/11 12:25:22

It is true he doesn't care and the only turnovers we get - TigerFan92 STL - 3/11 11:59:15

Didn't Robinson set a freshman record for steals? (nm) - ChinaTiger KC - 3/11 12:17:09

If this was the only year he had coached - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 12:04:04

Seems harsh - Mormad MU - 3/11 12:03:20

RE: Seems harsh - gaber c. MU - 3/11 12:07:53

Historically bad season. - haeffb MU - 3/11 14:30:55

Granted - Mormad MU - 3/11 12:10:05

Seek help (nm) - ChinaTiger KC - 3/11 11:50:05

Who are you going after this portal season? (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 11:41:16

Anyone that would be better than most of our starters and - Tiger_1995 MU - 3/11 12:28:43

Who is this anyone? (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 12:38:16

Deuce Bellow - Mormad MU - 3/11 11:59:32

ok thanks (nm) - phrejd MU - 3/11 11:15:42
