****Official 2018-19 Missouri Tigers Basketball Thread****

After a surprising, disappointing, exciting, and depressing 2017-18 that both began and ended in typical Mizzou fashion, the Tigers begin the offseason with several holes in the roster and one major recruiting target remaining.

Losses from 2017-18:
Michael Porter Jr, SF
Jordan Barnett, SF
Kassius Robertson, SG

Returning Starters:
Jontay Porter, SF/PF
Kevin Puryear, PF
Jeremiah Tilmon, F/C

Returning Role Player:
Reed Nikko

Injured Role Players:
Cullen Van Leer
Mitchell Smith

Returning Suicide Vest:
Jordan Geist

Spoiler!

Jontay isn’t gone, yet.

Lol at Jordan Geist’s category.

I’d be surprised if Jontay isn’t back.

I don't think he's a first rounder this year and if he is im sure he's a late first rounder. I think if he were to return he could become a mid first rounder. He needs at least one more year of school.

It all depends on what his brothers agent hears from the NBA, with the slotting for rookies he'd have to decide if he's willing to give up a year of earning potential for the extra 200k per year.

I think they’re going to get Ramey and a grad transfer combo guard who can help with PG duties. Giest will play, but hopefully in more of a complementary ball handler role.

Pinson is similar to Blake Harris in terms of athletic ability and potential. He’s a freak with good quickness who can be a lockdown defender. Think he’ll be a solid contributor off the bench even as a freshman.

Tillmon is working on midrange and 3 point shots and, evidently, doing well.

He should work on holding onto the ball tighter in traffic, while he's at it.

How about not fouling too.

Anyone heard anything more about Ramey? I've read that Louisville has entered the picture again. Also, it looks like potential options for grad transfers are dwindling, so we're putting a lot of eggs in the basket with Ramey. When would he be expected to sign?

He had a trip to Louisville set up for this weekend but had to cancel.

Sounds like Mizzou has missed out on most of the grad transfer options at this point.

So I guess the plan is now Ramey or bust?
