Tarik Black on the Market...

[LastWarrior]

6'9" athlete who is eligible to play immediately.  He chose Memphis over MU.  Could be an interesting one year transfer ala Lockett but he does have some baggage.

Didn't recall this but someone  wanted him pretty bad.

Leaving after 3 years... Mom wants a new car already?

I'll pass.

I remember many "Black and Blue" references during his recruitment.

If Otule doesn't return, that would be an interesting option.  But if Otule is back, I am not sure there is a place for him in the rotation with Gardner, Jamil, Taylor and McKay.

Good point... I forgot about McKay coming in next year.

Intriguing, though it looks like the baggage added up in the past year.  A one year player has to really fit in well to make it worth bringing him in - just don't see anything to make me believe he's got Lockett's maturity.

Black got pastnerized.

Black got pastnerized.

I prefer "being put out to Pastner."

[ceh]

Seems like a perfect fit for Mizzou.

[Groin_pull]

Pass. That ship has sailed.

[4everwarriors]

Missed badly on Deshonte Riley too.

[MarquetteDano]

So what happened to this jerk-off?  Wonder if he will come by to discuss this now....

Jaybee?  She's still around

I thoroughly enjoyed this quip and would like you to know that.

[mileskishnish72]

Enjoyed that one and "Pastnerized."

[Dawson Rental]

How about a trade?  Mayo for Black.

[JakeBarnes]

Per Goodman and Black's AAU coach, Marquette is one of the teams interested in Black.

[damuts222]

Gary Parrish just tweeted that Duke, KU, Marquette, Miami and 20 others are expressing interest in Black

Now that Chris is back.  No thanks for one year.

Taylor, McKay, Otule and Gardner should be able to handle #4 and #5.  

[tower912]

Sorry, but the LAST thing next year's team needs is a power forward like Black.   MU already has more bodies than minutes to go around.    If a scholarship opens and a senior PG becomes available, that is another story.    I just don't see how this fills a need.    


Wow.   When is the last time that MU had a glut of bodies up front?

According to his AAU coach.  I'm taking that report with a grain of salt.

[MUCrew]

Never stop recruiting.

[Big Papi]

It very well could be that Black was a backup plan if Otule did not return.

Also, we don't know who else might still be leaving.  If we end up having one or two scholarships available for the upcoming year, why wouldn't you take Black if he is the best available player that fits in the 1-year time frame.  We would be extremely long across the line with Jamil playing the 3 position and Taylor playing some minutes there as well.

Remember though, it'd only be for one year.
