He is not half the man Norm Stewart was.

You're entitled to your opinion and that's all it is.  I'm pretty sure Norm Stewart loves Cuonzo Martin and what he's doing at Mizzou.  In fact they share a lot of similarities, both tough as nails, both defensive minded, both native Missourians, and both cancer survivors.

Fact troll, we all could make more money if we did not care how we made it. 

Fact lying is not against the law.

Fact being immoral is against the law.

Fact coach Martin is building a team of decommits who else is doing that.

Fact I am glad coach Ford is not building a team like that.

Please go back to tigerboard and convince yourselves this is great because it is legal.

No wonder you pointed out that lying is not against the law with your comment you are glad Ford isn't building a team of decommits!  That's a classic!  Itay guess Ford is happy he didn't get Michael Jr, Jontay, or Tilmon! You didn't think that one out very well. You also haven't identified a single thing that Martin has done recruiting wise that is immoral, other than in a few butt hurt minds.

 Btw, a couple questions. First, what did I say that isn't true? Second, what is wrong with recruiting a decommit? Have a good night!

Fact: Jeremiah Tillmon was LOI'ed to Illinois.

Fact:  Torrence Watson was verbaled to Ohio State.

Fact: Michael Porter Jr.was LOI'ed to Washington.

Fact: Mizzou hired Martin.

Fact: Martin overpaid/bought Porter Sr.

Fact: Tillmon decomitted and signed with Martin/Mizzou.

Fact: Porter Jr. decomitted and signed with Martin/Mizzou.

Fact:  Watson de-verbaled and signed/commited to Martin/Mizzou.

Conclusion:  I won't paint any more ofthe picture, you'll just rationalize it away in your street-agent-wannabe-way anyway.

 

Fact: The coach who signed Tilmon at Illinois was fired, allowing Tilmon to be granted his release which had nothing to do with Cuonzo Martin.

Fact: Cuonzo Martin is from the same hometown as Jeremiah Tilmon and Martin's sister is the principal at Tilmon's HS and several other relatives of Martin are friends of the Tilmon family, making it not at all surprising that Tilmon would choose to go to Mizzou.

Fact:  Torrence Watson committed to Ohio State well after Cuonzo Martin was hired.

Fact: The coach who signed Michael Porter, JR at Washington was fired, allowing Porter JR to be granted his release which had nothing to do with Cuonzo Martin.

Fact:  Even before Romar was fired at Washington, Porter, JR's aunt who happens to be the Mizzou women's basketball head coach and the former boss of Michael Porter, SR, had let MIzzou AD Jim Sterk know that the Porters had interest in moving back to Columbia where they had resided for six years and where the two oldest daughters were members of the Mizzou women's team. 

Virtually certain fact: Almost any coach who would have been hired by Mizzou would have gladly hired Porter, SR and set of the chain reaction that led to both Michael, JR and Jontay Porter coming to Mizzou with their father and where most of their friends lived.

Fact: In what universe did Martin and Mizzou overpay for the assitant coach who had a major role in two 5-star recruits, including the #1 or #2 recruit in the country? Mizzou has already sold far more than enough new tickets to pay Porter, SR for the next ten years. Overpay??

Fact: Illinois paid  Jamal Walker almost as much as  Mizzou is paying Porter, SR. I know which school I think overpaid.

Fact: Your last statement is dripping waith irony after your distorted rationalization.
