The long issue with Mizzou hoops has been that it should land a top 20-25 recruiting class basically every year, with a top 10-15 class sprinkled in here and there, if it was getting its fair share of the in-state and regional talent.
That should result in a team that is top 25 most years, with a rebuilding year every 3-5 years that results in a bubble/NIt team, a couple teams good enough a decade to compete for a league title and a Sweet 16 run, and solid tourney teams the rest of the time. But the program has never been that for long periods. Norm Stewart had a few stretches here and there, but his whole tenure wasn't that. Martin's recruiting looks like he is capable of pulling in those types of recruiting classes and maybe more. If his coaching improves on offense enough, the results should start to match. Exciting.

That would be huge. St Louis is the key to Mizzou basketball.

Some did. Problem was, there were no facts that could be pointed to as evidence. It was all based on feel. It's still weird to me he didn't work those connections while at Tennessee or SMS. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

4 of his 11 high school recruits were from the St. Louis metro during his time at Missouri State. 5th was Otto Porter's cousin from the bootheel.

I see 3/12 on 247. Is there a transfer in there I'm missing, or are you counting Versailles or Miller as part of the metro? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Martin was the right hire this time, but it doesn't mean that he was the right guy six years ago or three, even if he was clearly a superior choice to Haith or Anderson. Sometimes guys need to fail and struggle to improve. That might also be the problem with Odom. He might be a good coach, but he might not be a good coach yet.

Jerome Jones - Miller Career Academy (its somewhere around SLU or Forest Park I think) Keith Pickens - Oakville Nathan Scheer - Borgia Also Otto Porter loved Zo. Kept Missouri State in his top schools a lot longer than he should have because of that relationship. |

10 years from now I worry that Odom will be a damn good coach somewhere after taking some lumps for awhile at a mid-major. But it won't be here. The ground beneath him just will not firm up and he doesn't seem equipped to fix it on his own. Damn he could've used some time at a non Power 5 school. Maybe a lower level FBS squad; MAC team kind of apprenticeship. This is just too much, too fast.

Jones is the one I wasn't counting. I took that as Miller, Mo, which is in the southwest corner of the state. Still seems weird that a guy with Martin's level of impact in St Louis now wasn't getting more guys like Scheer, at his level, out of St. Louis, than he did. But cest la vie Quote:
Like Memphis? He would have taken that job, most likely, had he not gotten Mizzou... if he hadn't taken a D.C. Job at a SEC school. He would have had a few options there, too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
