<div class="quote_poster">Quoting "baskitballa010":</div><div class="quote_post">they will be awsome next year with A J leadin the way. </div>I agree. They will be top five material. Paulding and Johnson should be two of the top ten players in the league next season. There are only four teams that can challenge them next year. Those teams are Connecticut, Duke, Michigan State, and Arizona. If Missouri can get past those teams then they will have a great shot at winning the National Championship. BTW - Where are you from in Saint Louis? I have family and friends all over there.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting "slamduncan21":</div><div class="quote_post">oo. i saw Paulding in Slam. he sounded pretty good.</div>Really? Which issue of Slam was it?
I remember that article. I'm going to be cheering pretty hard for Missou to win the Big 12 because Ricky Paulding has made me a big fan the past couple years. One of my favorite players in college basketball.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting "go_duke21":</div><div class="quote_post">Quinn Snyder is a great coach, he is why i like the team..........does anyone get the connection?</div>Snyder went to Duke like the head coaches of Dayton, Arkansas, Marquette, and Notre Dame's football team all went to Michigan State.
Hopefully they aren't even eligible for the NCAA tournament. Their team stole several players from Ohio State's recruiting class a few years ago by suspect means, and they only suspended a player for 1 game for beating a girl. I think the same player earned like 27 credit hours in 3 weeks somehow and the NCAA is investigating all this, including the dirty recruiting. I don't trust Quin Snyder, and I think Missouri is corrupt.

Teams do a good job of keeping them covered during the NCAA Tournament, but you know they're there. No one will talk about them publicly -- at pregame news conferences, everything is sorghum and honey -- but if you look closely, you might see evidence of those scars today in The Pit when Missouri meets Ohio State.)
Don't sleep on Jason Conley. The transfer from VMI will be eligible in the Spring semester, and will surely add a scoring punch to Mizzou.
