Appreciate the alert...Nice article in the Columbia Post-Dispatch today about how Mizzou won’t lock down STL recruiting...uh-huh....JGood, Thatch, Hargrove, Collins, Perkins...

But SPUMAC didn't really want any of the ones we got!  The article (by a SPUMAC grad) implies that Illinois is a recruiting threat in the St Louis metro area.  Other than the one year they got out of M Smith who else has Underwood gotten from the 314/618?  I do have to admit that Martin has gotten a few really nice metro area kids, that we would have loved to have gotten. e.g.Watson and Tillmon

After some hesitation, Coach says that Jimmy Bell is the one newcomer that has stood out (came in at 318 left friday morning at 280).  Says Bell has great hands, great feet and uses his big body. Will have an impact right away.  Bell has to get in "great" shape, but has all the skills. Probably the biggest surprise.  Better than Coach thought.

Jimerson is the best shooter "by far" in the program since Coach has been here.  Physically strong, big time scorer (got a little bit of "stuff...grit" to his game. not just a shooter). Everyone says Jimerson is like Klay Thompson with how quickly he can get his shot off.  Going to be hard to keep off the floor. 

Bess apparently told Tate that Javonte is best player in the program right now. 

Best talent top to bottom on roster since Ford has been here. 

Thatch appears to have taken that next step based on summer performance.  "Really...REALLY stood out this summer."

Yuri made great strides this summer.  Struggled first couple of weeks this summer adjusting to D-1 caliber players.  Figured it out.  Last couple of weeks was excellent. He is going to play a significant amount of minutes. Will be major part of team this season. 

Apparently, "The Athletic" is going to do some type of story on the team. 

Go Yuri! Yurimania, catch it, live it, love it!

Frank asks if you can really play Fred, Yuri, Jordan and Has together given the lack of shooting?  Coach said yes, but obviously going to mix in others to offset lack of shooting.

Weaver is more than Coach thought. Fast as lightening. Great energy. Players love him. Good shooter. Going to add a lot to the team. 

Much better shooting team. Thatch has really improved his shooting. 

Worked on pressing and fast break basketball every single day this summer. Going to play differently this year.  

Hope this plays out by the end of the season. We need a go-to offensive player to emerge and Perkins' combination of shooting, ballhandling and size makes him the toughest guy to match up with.
