Cuonzo’s recruiting style doesn’t rely on having a roster filled with multiple one and dones.
Give him time. He’s a good recruiter and he is what he is at this point, a clean, above average coach who will have a consistent floor(tournament with NITs) and a relatively low ceiling. There’s nothing wrong with that but to act as if he’s anything else at this point is misjudging what his track record is as well as what the program aspires to do. If Mizzou wanted to change those expectations, they should have hired a different coach or have Cuonzo significantly change his recruiting style.
And basketball is like football in that it takes time, unless you recruit one and dones to fill the majority of your roster.
