season he had 13 seniors, 1 junior, 2 sophomores, 0 freshmen. Left a massive rebuild for his successor. None of the freshmen from his first season were still on the team.

Gates teaches his system to transfers. He doesn't teach skills.

There’s only 1 real question with him - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/9 14:27:58

Calm down. Gates is 21-33 in SEC play. Long way to go. Nm - ClassicTiger MU - 9/9 01:16:01

Including an 0-18 season? - Gavin Citrus MU - 9/9 09:59:58

When I watch Gates coach, 0-18 is mainly what I think about - ClassicTiger MU - 9/9 12:46:16

Doesn't necessarily surprise me - Gavin Citrus MU - 9/9 13:39:23

Actually it is permanently in the books, a historical legacy - MIZ-STL-ZOU MU - 9/9 10:27:42

It's not going to be used to determine his firing - Gavin Citrus MU - 9/9 12:36:13

We were top 5 last year but they didn't play(nm) - alstl MU - 9/8 18:22:17

Burns is the only one that didn’t play(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life BSU - 9/8 18:49:34

Which freshman should have played more? - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/9 07:50:59

you're making his point, nimrod (nm) - 90Tiger STL - 9/9 08:25:47

You make my point - getting excited about freshmen recruits - alstl MU - 9/9 07:54:50

Gates has never done that - at Cleveland State his final - alstl MU - 9/9 12:19:56

True he’s never had elite freshmen - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/9 12:34:18
