They're getting guys to come there because Gates is already getting a reputation as a really good young coach, and with the size of his buyout (>$25 million) it's extremely unlikely that he's not going to be at Mizzou until at least the end of the 2028-29 season. That's these guys' entire careers.
Not a lot of programs can offer that kind of upside and that kind of stability except for the elite blue blood hoops schools.
We could be witnessing the very beginning of the golden age of Mizzou hoops. [Reply]

5* recruit Jayden Quaintance reclassified to 2024 and is taking an official visit with MU next month. This class could be historic for Mizzou Basketball. [Reply]
