If I had a son, he might ask me: "Why is Mizzou going with THIS coaching staff, Dad?"
And I might say: "Because this is the coaching staff Mizzou truefans deserve, but not the coaching staff Mizzou needs right now. So we'll watch them. Because they're going to 'take it' for the next few years. Because Anderson is a true son. Because he was an All-American 40 years ago. He's a D2 National Champion. A nice guy. A clean guy. A True Son."

Hmm, what has changed since that hire? What is the common factor?

Absolutely stellar post on PM from a very knowledgeable basketball guy, StuBlack, who breaks down every game (good, bad, ugly format) and has connections in high school recruiting/recruiting coverage nationwide.
I dub this the "jizz of truth" post. Of course there'll be a team either way. There was a team on the court from Mizzou '96 and '97 and '98, too. The problem is, they sucked. Yes, I said it: SUCKED. Tyron Lee was the "best" scorer Mizzou had in the end of that run, averaging an eye-popping 11.4 ppg. They went 51-47 in those years. Why? Because they didn't recruit enough good players, that's why. And the second in charge then was the guy, likable and easy to cheer for as he undeniably is, introduced today as the head coach. They improved ONLY when they brought in high-end players, namely Keyon Dooling (who was 100% leaving, had NS stayed) and Albert White. It wasn't grit. It wasn't sealing the borders. It was better players (and both of them were from OUTSIDE the state, to put a kink in the meme that it'll be "all Missouri kids"). I can almost buy the part about having Kim improve the Xs & Os. I truly believe he will. But if his plan is to bring in a staff full of D2 guys, he's doomed to fail. They simply do not have the recruiting chops to bring in high-end talent in-state, let alone regionally or nationally. It's not their fault; they simply do not run in the right circles to have met those people and forged relationships with them. Perhaps too many of you are too young to remember the last 5 years or so of the Norm Stewart era (and let me state again, for the record, I LOVE Coach Stewart. He IS Missouri Basketball)...but it...here's that word again.... SUCKED. Coach Kim Anderson is my guy now, because he's the head coach of my alma mater. There's no point debating whether or not he should be, because he IS. But someone...for the love of Byron Irvin..explain to me how/why you believe a staff of D2 coaches without the contacts with elite prospects is going to magically retain the good recruits we have, let alone seal the borders. The "old Mizzou" model that Stewart built...say this slowly to yourself....DIDN'T WORK with regards to keeping the best players at home. Now a guy who's within 3 years of the age Stewart was when he was forced out...I mean, when he retired...is going to jumpstart in-state, high-end recruit interest? What am I missing? I don't mean that to be snide, and I hope I'm wrong....but I just don't see it.

No one will be happier than I will (or other Mizzou fans will) if this works.
But if you look at it objectively, there are many areas of concern.
