Whos to say Boone is actually hearing anything the rest of us don't know? It seems to me that he and the other pessimists here are just basing these predictions off of random recruitment articles that always seem to have a certain program's spin on them.

I will trust in Buzz until he gives me a reason not to.

I'll say Boone is hearing more then most people here. He's been right on the spot this summer in more than one instance before it became public knowledge.

And why is it always a referendum on Buzz? Why is writing that we have little chance landing a likely one-and-done Miller disbelief in Buzz? Why is writing that the hometown kid Faust has been Gary Williams' to lose for more then two months evidence that the person must hate Buzz to write that? Why is writing that it will be hard for Harrison to turn down an attractive package in Waco anti-Buzz?

Things can change but I don't think Boone, myself, or any number of other people are being overtly negative when we look at those few recruits and cast a skeptical eye whether they'll play for MU.

Being right about something on a message board hardly means someone is connected. There are a ton of predictions flying around these boards, some of it has to end up sticking. (I'm not calling out Boone here, just talking generally)

And I never said anything about this recruiting class being an indictment on Buzz. I will always judge a coach way more on what he does on the floor.

Its just that I've have seen nothing from Buzz in the field of recruiting except top 20 classes, so I will trust that very good recruiting will continue until Buzz gives me a reason not to.

Hypothetical here...food for thought

Say we miss out on all the top guys we are targeting, would you guys be satisfied with a recruiting class that looked like....

Tony Kimbro
Jarion Henry
Trey McDonald

or....

DaMarcus Harrison
Devin Langford
Keith Dewitt

Classes like those may not look great compared what we're hoping for, but I'd be fine with either of those. I have absolutely no doubt that Buzz will sign a nice class that will add a lot to the program.

First off. MU has 11 kids next year.  I have a feeling the walk-on will get a scholarship next year, Mr. Singleton.  So I see only
2 signings as MU is stacked at every position next year.  If Buzz signs 1 kid next year, that can really play, that will be great.
Remember Al's last year he signed Robert Byrd, never got off the bench his freshman year.  In saying that, maybe there is a
kid that needs sometime to improve.  That might be fine as well.  The bottom line MU is in on at least 7 kids in the Top 100,
when was the last time that happened.  Sure he might miss on all them, but I would wait to see who is at Midnight Madness
as it should be a real show this year.  Also, when you go after all these kids, there looking to see where the other recruits
are going as well.  Some teams fill up like Louisville, Baylor, Kansas, and others which leaves an opening for them at MU.  Some
wait till the spring as well, lucky MU has a big budget for recruiting!

Take a step back - after years of longing for a big man we now have the no.1 big man in the country down to mu and 4 other schools.

Buzz is recruiting a bunch of kids at a time, and will not be sidetracked by giving everything he has to get quincy miller as long as there is any hope.

I appreciate Al's staement in many cases, but I'm pretty confident he would have been happierwith a "maybe" than a "no" from quincy.
