Seems like this deserves its own thread. The news will start coming fast over the next week or two, IMO. Recruiting is a 365-day event and we can't afford to be rudderless for long.

My vote - Cuonzo Martin.

Discuss.

If doing that takes Bruce Pearl, I am all for it. Who else is out there that is known for being able to recruit?

This is why I am intrigued by Martin. He is from St. Louis, has spent three years developing in-roads with Missouri high school and AAU coaches, and prior to this he spent 8 years recruiting the midwest for Purdue.

Eric Bossi has said that AAU coaches are ecstatic at the idea of Martin getting hired at Mizzou. If anyone can win back St. Louis, I think Martin has the best shot.

That's why i like him as well, esp since Stevens, Pearl and Painter are not likely

Apparently Petro is saying Mizzou may not allow players that have some sort of history. they must have 'nice' kids

Bernie mentioned him on his show yesterday, but said that Alden would likely hire a coach who has been a HC in college.

Agree, plus if we pluck a guy like this and give him his first shot at a big program he might remember that if it goes really well and other schools start calling.

Good to hear that. Mizzou really needs to get STL on lockdown. We hardly get anyone from there now.

Bernie posted this in his forum on the PD this morning about Painter:

Quote:

If you read my coaching-list blog, I have some details in there.

Had this on Wednesday early in my show.

Delievered a comprehensive breakdown, backed by research and applicable Painter quotes, on Thursday's show.

Just so everyone knows the basis of this, I don't rely on saloon gossip for this type of information; we try to dig and do reporting; Vahe Gregorian and me have now verified through six independent sources that the interest is there.

Now, whether Painter's motives are pure, I do not know. Two people who have talked to him tell me that his motives are good and that he's not playing contract games; time will tell.

I am jealous of Mizzou right now. I wish Illinois was going through a coaching search. I am tired of Weberball.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 03-25-2011, 12:23 PM

I can see the upside of Martin. Painter seems like a guy who would just use us for leverage. I don't see the downside in talking to Rose, but it just doesn't seem like there are a lot of home run candidates out there. That said, Bill Self was JAG when he left Tulsa.

Sounds like the Painter interest has legs. It still is illogical to me why he would honestly make a lateral move for a bit more money.

Maybe he really does hate Purdue's administration.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 03-25-2011, 01:25 PM

Good that you can transfer the $550 k penalty from Anderson to a potential $750 k buyout for Painter.

A $200k buyout is not bad, and we could pay a better coach the same money we were going to pay Anderson.

I'm not saying that Painter is a bad coach, but he hasn't been past the Sweet 16 yet.

And if it wasn't for Mike Anderson's players going absolutely out of their mind for the first 20 minutes of the Memphis game, he wouldn't have either.

Let's be honest, that half of basketball against Memphis made Anderson over $10 million bucks, and he really didn't have all that much to do with it.

That half was the equivalent of a 10 handicap shooting a 32 on the front 9

Isn't he from Purdue? why would you ever want to leave your alma mater?

Rams Fan · 03-25-2011, 01:32 PM

You know what? **** it. Matt Painter or bust.
