Also - it's nice to see Wesley Stokes re-enrolled at Mizzou.

I think they have a chance to be also, because they'll be able to run a different type of offense. But, I think with better coaching they could have done better with the players they had this season.

Unless KJ somehow finds his way back on the roster, it’s a deal

I was listening to Westwood one for the first part of the second half and they called it….with Arkansas’ front line athleticism, Hunter was a major liability on defense (until self hid him in the zone).

Djust didn’t have the horses this year. Give me some people who hate losing and for the love of god find the next mason or graham

It’s time for Self to move on.

I’m calling my shot at Point Guard. Braden Smith from Purdue.

Rumor was that he wanted more money last year. I’m sure this stuff gets around and guys are getting offers before they decide to transfer or not.

That’s the guy if Self can make it happen. Give him every penny.

I honestly can't remember a group since the 98-99 years when this squad was less fun to watch, and utterly lacking in any true leadership. Thank god baseball season is on the horizon... Go Royals! A team that might actually be legit fun to watch!

Let’s see what he does without the KJ and Harris loyalty guys anchoring him down first

Smith is a good player but if you thought Dickinson was limited athletically, Braden Smith is even worse.

He gets badly exposed by athletic guards.

Fine, but minimum elite 8 next year or he has to go.

If we get Flory back, he can at least have elite rim protection behind him.

Tiller at the 4 would probably help with that as well.

This season was completely on Bill's vision/roster construction yet again

We will see shortly if he truly can’t coach at the same level in this NIL era

I wouldn’t judge him until KJ/Harris are gone though, he was willing to go down with the ship with those guys and it was obvious from the beginning of the season that he would

Flory would have been playing 30+ minutes a game by February on basically any other team in the country

He was just stuck on KJ and Harris

I like the kid but they were always gonna be doomed as long as KJ remained a starter, I had the same concerns in the offseason even when we were gonna be ranked #1. He (and as it turned out, Harris) just made them way too easy to guard.

It’s not just NIL though.

It’s NIL + Transfer Portal + A Major Shift In How The Game Is Played

Those are 3 huge adjustments for an aging coach. I’m not sure it’s possible for a coach to be great in the previous and new era.
