Like I said when the show-cause rumors surfaced, I think Mizzou would be better with Fuller as the HC long-term than Haith.
I do love that about the present leadership, though. They're making some serious investments in the staff around Haith and it's paying off.
The 2014 class could be a major turning point class for us. If that thing goes well, Haith's put the program right back on track. At that point, you can say that he's turned the Titanic and has it heading in the right direction.

Yes. The 2014 class could be transformational.
I left out Goodluck Okonoboah, who is Alex Oriakhi's cousin. They have a great shot at both and Devin Booker.
DeAngelo Russell is someone who has been on campus already and says he plans to return. This is a top 10-15 national kid.
Losing Beard stinks, but they have great shots at Larry Austin of Springfield, IL and Chris Chiozza of Memphis, who are similar players.
Chiozza plays with Leron black, a 5-star star PF, who Missouri is also in the running for.
If they could land:
Okonoboah
Booker
Russell
Chiozza/Austin
Black
You're talking about a TREMENDOUS recruiting class.
Agreed on Fuller. He'll be gone before long, and if they did part ways with Haith, I'd support an internal promotion for Fuller completely.
