They haven't worked out. Because they were low-percentage plays. Haith, they were banked on him being able to turn it up at a school that better supported basketball. Anderson, they were banking on nostalgia and being tough and pithy to resurrect the Norm years (because a bunch of dumb old boosters forgot what Norm's tenure was like after 94). Martin, they were betting he would suddenly elevate his recruiting and lovk down st. louis. it looked good for the first 9 months or so. Dude's recruiting is below average. Just isn't good enough. And he's not a good in-game coach, and he thinks basketball is still played the way it was in 1998. Make a good hire and it comes back quick. Make bad hires and it stays where it is.

Cuonzo just isn't cut out for this job. Recruiting in STL, the one thing he's supposed to be good at, hasn't happened. He actually seems to be really ****ing bad as a recruiter and really ****ing bad as a coach too.

The problem is that’s all you hear about him. You never see negative press, just some article titled something like “It’s About More Than Basketball With Cuonzo Martin”. The funny thing is, I struggle to see similar statements around Self, Calipari, Williams, etc. It’s about whether they win or lose and not much more. I guess you can’t expect that much at Missouri, but you also probably shouldn’t pay over $3 million a year for a motivational speaker. |

It all comes crumbling down very quickly and becomes extremely obvious that Martin had very little to do with the class and Michael Porter was 99% responsible for recruiting those guys. Since then he's had a bunch of classes that resemble a Kim Anderson recruiting job and then you have the 2020 class, 163rd in the country! Good ****ing God. He could have at least used the momentum from 2017 to build something. He was supposed to get STL back and be able to talk to those kids, but from 2018-2021 he has 3 STL commits and has lost a ton of kids to other schools. Maybe Drink could teach him a thing or 2 about recruiting. |

It started to slide when he lost Liddell to Ohio State. Everything was positive until that point. I think it cost him major momentum in St. Louis. He also took a bunch of very questionable players and ran off a lot of guys with talent.

I don’t think we’d be in terrible shape right now if he’d managed to keep Jackson and McKinney around. |
