Nice highlight reel. Looks legit. Hope he qualifies.

"We're winners," Allen said of himself and Anderson. "He's a winner. Where I come from, we won state three times out of four years. We don't like to lose."

Mizzou and Kim will be a rock star relationship

Exciting times for Mizzou in my opinion

Heh. True, gotta have a bit of that.

ROFL it's secondary, but still a lot bigger stage than coaching a team called mules

Mules = Champions :shrug:

UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI
Namon Wright, Missouri basketball signee, can speak with other schools
May 8
BY TOD PALMER
The Kansas City Star

Los Angeles shooting guard Namon Wright on Thursday said on Twitter that he asked for and was granted “permission to talk to other schools/coaches, with restrictions” by Missouri.

Wright, a 6-foot-4 four-star rated guard from Pacific Hills High who is ranked No. 73 overall in the class of 2014 by Rivals.com, signed a national letter of intent with the Tigers in November.


Wright met with new Missouri coach Kim Anderson on Tuesday in Los Angeles and said the meeting went well.

“Recently, I met with Coach Anderson, and I believe he is a really good guy and wants big things out of the program,” Wright said on Twitter. “Our time together was great.”


Wright, who averaged 24 points and 9.3 rebounds as a senior, went on to say that he would “still strongly consider going to Missouri. I just need to make sure I’m in the right situation for me” in a follow-up tweet.

#MizzouMade tweet. They are going hard on MizzouMade

Namon Wright back on board, per PowerMizzou. If we land Mitchell with the final spot, we've got an outstanding class. KA is getting work done.

I hope I'm eating crow this time next year.

I bet he gets more out of Gant and Wright then Haith would have, heck he might even turn Rosburg into Chris Heller.

Don't feel bad...me too man lol.

Starting to think I might be eating a lot of this in the near future haha.

We're all gonna look like a bunch of jerkoffs with that meltdown. ROFL I can feel it.

Impressive to get Wright back on board

I hope it's true

He hasn't won a game yet at Mizzou. That being said, Mizzou fans already look like a bunch of jerkoffs due to the meltdown. It's what Mizzou fan does.

No surprise, Shane Rector is transferring.

Kim Anderson!

LMAO

Hopefully Kim kicks some ass. I've seen him handle biz

Anderson might work out.

I re read this thread, it was quite lolz

Did you guys when a game or something....?

LMAO at troll fail!

When?

Hold up...

Did you when teh championship.

lol now, cry later

The reckoning is coming

According to people on Power Mizzou, Mitchell's momma got involved and wanted him to go to Vandy, while he wanted Mizzou, hence the delay in announcing.

Apparently Mizzou is just a shite school academically and private schools like WF or Vandy are way better. /sarcasm

LMAO... someone should have handled the mammy

Mizzou appears to have shifted its attention to Tramaine Isabell, a 6-1 point guard from Seattle, Wash., who signed with Washington State last fall but asked out of his letter of intent after WSU’s coaching change. Isabell, a three-star prospect by recruiting outlets, told the P-D he’s very interested in Missouri and is planning a visit to Columbia after the current NCAA dead period, which ends May 30. Isabell said he's currently choosing between Missouri and Providence. Auburn had been in the mix, too, he said.

Isabell averaged 23.6 points and 3.5 assists per game for Garfield High School as a senior. Garfield has produced a handful of prominent players, including former University of Washington standouts and NBA players Brandon Roy and Tony Wroten.

Isabell said Missouri assistant coach Tim Fuller has “made it very clear” that the Tigers want to add a point guard to its 2014 class.

“They want to put the ball in my hands, score and get my teammates involved,” he said. “It looks like they have the perfect pieces to be successful in a tough league.”

“I’m the type of point guard that does whatever my team needs me to do,” he said. “This year, my team needed me to score more … but I can do it all. I can score. I can distribute. I can play some defense. I know the game and I have a pretty good basketball IQ. I’d love to learn the ins and outs playing for Kim Anderson.”

In March, Isabell clinched the Class 4A Washington state championship for Garfield at the free throw line and scored 34 points in the title game.

“I told him all year that, ‘Hey man, listen, when it gets down to championship time, the ball’s going to be in your hands and you’re the best player, so you make the plays,’ ” Garfield coach Ed Haskins told the Seattle Times. “That’s just basketball. It’s the same thing with the Miami Heat, it’s same thing with Kentucky, it’s same thing with anybody.

“When you have a player like Tramaine on this level you use him, you put the ball in his hands. I’d be a dumb coach if I didn’t do that.”

Isabell is familiar with Mizzou’s program, saying he was a fan of former point guard PhilPressey. He’s also followed former guard JabariBrown’s career at MU, having played against Brown’s Oakland Soldiers AAU team. Plus, he’s no stranger to the SEC: Isabell has always lived in the Seattle area, but his family is originally from Mississippi and he often visits there.

Brandon Chauca, another uncommitted point guard, could be another option. The Greenville, S.C., native visited Washington State and Cal recently.

****

Flush him.

free throw beast

iced the championship game at the line ROFL

Missouri men’s basketball announced Monday that Matt Herring had been hired as the program’s strength and conditioning coach.

Herring most recently served in the same role for the San Antonio Spurs from 2011-13. He takes over as the Tigers’ director of athletic performance after Todor Pandov followed former coach Frank Haith to Tulsa.

“This was a big coup for our program, not only because Matt is a highly respected coach that has trained some of the elite basketball players in the world, but because he will mentor and train our young men in every phase of life,” Missouri coach Kim Anderson said in a release from MU athletics. “Matt has coached and trained at the highest levels throughout his career and has the ability to get the most out of his teams. We are excited to welcome Matt and his family to Mizzou.”

Herring, who graduated from Southwest Texas State in 1994 and earned a master’s at Texas in 2002, began at Oklahoma State and served on the 2004 Final Four staff.

Herring, a native of Austin, Texas, spent the next seven seasons at Florida, including back-to-back national championships in 2006 and 2007.

During his two-year NBA stint, the Spurs went 108-40 and reached the NBA Finals last season before falling in seven games against the Miami Heat. He spent last season as a private instructor in the San Antonio area.

“I have always had a tremendous amount of respect for the (Missouri) athletics department as a whole, as well as this university,” Herring said through MU. “We are very excited to get to town, get to work and become a part of the Mizzou and Columbia communities.”

Herring and his wife, Cindy, have one daughter, Laney.

Didn't see this anywhere but another great move by Kim Anderson:

That would be pretty awesome.

One more on Fulford:

It's about time MU got serious w/ recruiting.

Not too shabby at all so far.

get real dudes

http://www.kansascity.com/sports/spt...cle635530.html

Missouri’s men’s basketball team filled its final remaining scholarship Saturday, announcing that Montaque Gill-Caesar had signed a financial aid agreement.

Gill-Caesar — a 6-foot-6 small forward from Ontario, Canada, who played for Tigers assistant Rob Fulford at Huntington Prep in West Virginia the last two years — had planned to enter college in 2015.

Instead, Gill-Caesar, who often goes by the nickname “Teki,” reclassified and will be eligible immediately at Missouri. He graduated from high school last spring.

“I’m so excited to be joining the University of Missouri family and cannot wait to get on campus and get to work,” Gill-Caesar said in a release from MU Athletics. “Everything about my visit to Mizzou (in late June) was perfect, but I wanted to be thorough make the decision that was best for me and my family.

“I already had great relationships with coach Rob (Fulford) and (Tigers associate head) coach (Tim) Fuller, but having a chance to meet coach Anderson and get to know him on a personal level just put everything over the top. I want to thank my family and everyone at Huntington Prep for their support and I’m ready to be a Missouri Tiger.”

Gill-Caesar, a four-star recruit, had been ranked No. 31 overall in the class of 2015 by Rivals. He also had offers from Michigan State, Wichita State and Memphis among others.

Awesome. Anderson is getting it done in recruiting. Now we need to see it on the floor.

Anderson def doing stuff right...

I hope we get to revisit this post over and over again in the future.

I wonder if MU Fan still hates the hire.

Lets hope he doesn't get in trouble so he ends up eligible to play for KU the following year.

I hated the hire at the time....but it is what it is. I hope the hire is successful. Recruiting is off to a good start...I think many Mizzou fans do still hate the hire, but are accepting reality. For me, I would rather say at a later date I was wrong about the hire being bad, because that means the team will have had some success.

It was still a stupid hire.

I thought it was a lazy hire. They went with a safe choice, but he seems to be clicking right along so far.

Ask this question again next February.

I don't think it was lazy, as much as it was just a last resort hire. They didn't want to spend any real money and have Pinkel come looking for a raise, so they kicked the tires on some names, and then fell back to the sure thing.

PowerMizzou.com

Soft

Why? Despite what you read on message boards, most Mizzou fans love the hire. The players love the hire. HS coaches love the hire. The guy has been an outstanding coach. It wasn't a big name and I personally worried about recruiting, but he seems to have taken care of that concern.

I'm not sure there was a better choice.

Gregg Marshall would have been the better hire. It would have been a slam dunk hire. Mizzou went the cheap route. And that's fine. I get some people love the hire because he's a MU guy that's always bled black and gold and truly cares about the program, but Gregg Marshall would have been the better hire. He's the better coach, it's that simple.

Hell, Ben Howland would have been a better hire. Now there's the argument that what might be the best hire may not be the "best" hire for Mizzou, and it goes back to the fact that Kim Anderson bleeds black and gold. This is his dream job. He won't go anywhere else. I doubt if Duke called him up saying the Coach K vacancy is all yours, I doubt that his stubborn loyalty to the Univ would allow him to leave for another job, that and he's almost 60yrs old I think.

And had Howland or Marshall been hired and had they ended up being successful at MU within the next handful of years, they'd leave for a UNC, Duke, 'Cuse, once one of those coaches retires. MU is a pit stop job for these bigger name, better resume guys, but it isn't considered a pit stop job to Kim Anderson, so it was the "safe" hire, but I dont think it was the best in terms of what the end results will be. Just more mediocre basketball, just like Norm Stewart. Well they could be better than just mediocre, but they're not going to compete with Kentucky or Florida for that conference.

Honest question: How do you know that Marshall is the better coach? You could absolutely be right, but I'm not sure I understand your current certainty.

I'll reserve judgement until I see it on the court but based on his interviews he seems like a much more likeable guy than Norm. I hope he doesn't make me eat my words when I say this but he appears to not be a stubborn as Stewart was. Norm would run good solid players off, Kim A is pulling them in.

You're way off the mark here.

First of all, Marshall would never take a job like Missouri's; it's not the step up in profile that his accomplishments deserve. You can't criticize them for not getting a coach they could never have.

Secondly, no one was more critical of the Anderson hire than I was. The recruiting at the ass end of the Norm years was terrible, and he was the lead guy. For whatever reason, he has completely inverted that in a few months. Holding on to Gant was big and getting Namon Wright to stay on after he was released is a pretty damned amazing feat. Combine that with getting someone from Huntington Prep as a bag man, strengthening ties with Jimmy Whitt, getting Caesar, and I'm blown the **** away by his recruiting thus far.

In effect, he's proven to be a better recruiter than Frank Haith, someone who was known only as a recruiter. If he's half the X's and O's guy he seems to be, he's going to be in the top third of coaches in the league pretty easily.

In parlance, this is the equivalent of a ** player who ends up playing at a **** level.

Guess we'll just have to wait and see...your guess is as good as mine.

But ask anyone in the NCAA-D1 outside of Mizzou if they would've hired Kim Anderson over Gregg Marshall.

Anyways....the ONLY thing I'm hoping for is that some how, some way he can convince Bill Self to re-new the MU/KU border rivalry. He's played in the rivalry and he's coached in it. It's good for the game, for both schools and the KC community.

Disagree; when they're done with their woman-scorned party, it can be considered. I don't miss the beaks at all.

WE HATED HIM BEFORE WE LIKED HIM. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?

To be honest, we liked Haith for a minute too.

No one likes to be on the losing end of an ass-kicking.

kanas is still upset over a February basketball game?!? Good Lord. (I assume you aren't talking about the fact that Missouri won the big 12 tournament, as ku didn't make it to the final to play Mizzou.)

This. It's a terrible rivalry that shouldn't be continued. Mizzou would kick their ass in football and KU would kick theirs in basketball. It would be completely one sided in both sports, time to move on.

The Missouri men’s basketball team announced Friday that Torren Jones has been dismissed for an unspecified violation of team rules.

Jones’ dismissal was announced in a release from the MU athletic department.

“We have high standards at the University of Missouri and after consulting with (athletic director) Mike Alden, I have made the decision to dismiss Torren Jones from our program,” first-year coach Kim Anderson said. “I am disappointed in Torren’s actions and want to be very clear about the culture of accountability we are building within our program. It’s a privilege to wear the University of Missouri uniform and we will represent our University and our state with great integrity.”

Jones, a 6-foot-8, 235-pound forward from Chandler, Ariz., appeared in 30 games as a freshman last season and averaged 2.1 points and 2.3 rebounds, including a team-best 11.4 rebounds per 40 minutes.

All the sudden this season Mizzou has standards for athletes LMAO

Wonder what he did :shrug:

Jimmy Whitt to Arkansas.

Hope he sucks balls, enjoy your 40 minutes of hell jimmy.

And Mizzou still can't recruit in state.

Mike A has been bitch slapping us in recruiting since he left. They said several columbia kids keep going to arkansas? Sup with that BS?

Mike Anderson has now recruited more 4* players from Missouri while coaching Arkansas than when he coached at Missouri.

Because Mizzou.

I doubt the kid wanted to stay home in Columbia and go to school. People usually go off to college :shrug:

If it were Kentucky or Duke I wouldn't give a shit, I'm sick of losing good football and hoops players to the ****ing Hogs. :#

****ing sad.

From Brian Austin at PowerMizzou: 2015 Blue Springs (Mo.) South power forward Kevin Puryear announced on twitter that he has committed to Mizzou. He is the first commitment of the 2015 class.
