HoosierPal Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Mizzou signed another Cleveland State Viking yesterday and has no more room for Turnbull or even Jones Hodge’s commitment put Missouri one player over the 13-scholarship maximum for 2022-23 season unless one of the team’s six returning players or signed recruit Christian Jones decides to play elsewhere next season. Jones, a three-star guard from East St. Louis, has not returned messages since Mizzou fired former coach Cuonzo Martin last month.

Jones did most of the ball handling for East Side because they didn't have anybody else. I hope Thames sticks around long term. If he could could develop a reliable jumper, he would be hard to guard.

thetorch Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Jones was a huge reach for Cuonzo. He's not an SEC level player at all. BilliesBy40 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLUDrew Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 FWIW, Turnbull canceled his visit to Iowa according to a number of posters on their board. I am sure this means he is returning to Butler but with Iowa out of the running, and Mizzou without any scholarships left to give, you would have to think we are in the final two.

Im still guessing its Butler. That said, my buddy was telling me about mizzou and how they currently have only 1 Center on the roster - an injury prone and unproven player in yaya Kieta. So mizzou may be in a better spot than I originally imagined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So mizzou may be in a better spot than I originally imagined. Butler Hoops had the same Iowa cancelation comment yesterday. Iowa still has high hopes on the big 6'10" C from Utah Valley. And Butler has high hopes on 6'10" C Manny Bates from NC State. Mizzou signed the 6'11" Mo Diarra, #1 Rated JUCO Player per jucorecruiting.com, so I'm not sure what your buddy is saying. (The kid already get a better offer?) The next time I talk to Turnbull will be the first time I talk to Turnbull, but I'm not sure he isn't a stretch big rather than a back to basket C, as these other two are inclined to be. So either school could get their prime recruit and still add Conner as a complimentary player. Turnbull doesn't appear to be the #1 priority of either program. I'm also guessing Butler. Let him go there and then transfer back here in a year or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very few teams list 'Center' anymore as a position. Okoro, Traore and Linssen were all listed as F. Mizzou listed Keita and Wilmore as Forwards, the latter being 7'3".

I can’t find the tweet from some French nba thing, but what I’m saying to you is in a Q and A he mentions he plays more like a big guard and a big. Like the to handle the ball up high, likes to switch and guard PGs etc. so mizzou wanting a center or a PF like turnbull makes sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really late bloomer who never had anything close to even a mid major offer. He's a borderline D-2/D-1 player. He may get better but he's not a player at this level right now.
