Is Weber out a KSU?

[trajanJ]

IMO the Big10 & SEC money is a bigger factor for football than basketball. With hoops a good coach can develop a solid program on a national scale. Just look at the Big East, Gonzaga or Mountain West.

On paper I agree that Mizzou should have the advantage vs. KSU regarding recruiting because they should be able to draw kids from St. Louis & KC. But it seems that over the last decade or so, the best St. Louis kids don't consider Mizzou.

Selecting the right coach for schools like KSU, Mizzou (and Iowa State) is not an exact science. So, the argument of which school is better is splitting hairs. In both situations a successful coach is going to have to draw recruits from outside Missouri or Kansas to be successful.

Yes, hoops could be easier because you don't need the numbers but the examples you gave don't have big football programs to deal with so they can spend a higher percentage of their money on basketball than other schools would. K-State and Mizzou have P5 football programs that will demand a lot of money so the more money the conference generates the more chances you have some left for basketball.
If Mizzou wants to turn the corner they will have to find a coach that can keep St. Louis kids from going somewhere else. The current football coach is doing it for the first time, signing one 5 star and two 4 stars. It's an opportunity Mizzou has that K-State never will. There just won't be that kind of basketball talent anywhere near Manhattan.

Mike Beasley says hi.

Missouri is likely to announce their new coach tomorrow. All the usual suspects, plus Dana Altman. I'd guess Miller or Murray State's.

 

[LLCoolCY]

Well could a return happen?

 

[stateofmind]

I look forward to this thread not showing at the top of the "New Posts" search soon.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

How? I would say they are pretty similar. Mizzou hasn't done squat in recent years. Norm Stewart aint roaming the sidelines anymore,

Maybe they'll bring him back.

Sean Miller?

Frank has a weird journey since leaving Manhattan. At one point it looked like he was going to have South Carolina up at the top of the SEC with Kentucky battling for titles. But ever since that Final 4 run they've had almost no success of which to speak of. Frank must be out of gas too.

 

[surly]

Frank will find a good job in the TV booth. He's always been an excellent talker.

 

[surly]

Sean Miller?

My guess is the Murray State coach, you know that narrative, or Sean Miller, yes. It depends on how aggressive and dirty MU wishes to look afterward, I suppose. I would have thought they'd consider St. Louis's Travis Ford, but evidently not.

One thing seems clear, K-State and Missouri are not competing for the same coach.

No, he ran out of Lamont Evans' recruits. Not unlike with Delonte Hill's at K-State.

 

[cycloneML]

Yeah. KSU seems like a dysfunctional institution, and unlike Mizzou is also still affiliated with their main historic rivals.

Not sure what has been dysfunctional at KSU the last several years.

Tang is on Mizzou's list.

Tang is on Mizzou's list.

Well, if he signs there then we'll know Missouri is the better program, right?

 

[TheJackWePack5]

Lol, surly setting himself up.

Not really, chuck is being obtuse to spit you. Why, only he knows.

 

[scyclonekid]

I’m sure KSU will be fine.

 

[scyclonekid]

I’m just worried that Webers hair is gonna get extremely long.

I meant that they didn't. Typo.

I'm really not. As I said, its nothing against KSU, I just think Mizzou has more resources to lure a coach. Surly doesn't like my opinion and that's fine.
