Cuonzo Martin resigns, heads to Mizzou

[k-town_king]

Come on now, we underachieved most of the 2013-14 season and were saved by a last 4 in bid. If not for that and the subsequent tournament run, his time here would be considered terrible... and I brought this up in another thread but in the 2012-13 season we had back to back losses to Georgetown and Virginia by scores of 37-36 and 46-38. Those are our worst performances in the shot clock era. His teams were boring - and we were supposed to accept that just after Pearl? Jeez.

Tyndall had several worse. Those games were also against NCAA teams with some of the best college defenses of the last decade. Watching them them was exciting due to two good teams going toe to toe and playing Greta defense.If you think Barnes did a good job this year finishing above expectations then give Martin the same credit. If you think this was a bad year you probably think the same about Martin's seasons. That would be misguided though.

Zo gonna mess around and sign 3 five stars in the 2017 class, still think the contract is insane but that'll bring some excitement to Missouri basketball.

No way.

 

[k-town_king]

Zo is way better than Jones. If he gets all those guys watch out. Crazy contract though.

 

[Roustabout]

and LSU had Ben Simmons -- how did they fare ?

I didn't like Martin, but he's much better coach than that clown.

 

[Special Ed]

His contract is for 7 years, but Vegas has the over/under at 3.5.
I'll take the under.

 

[UTwild82]

He will improve talent level. They will win more than they have. When the expectation becomes reaching the tournament in consecutive years, he'll leave. It's who he is.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

If this is true i hope Walker doesnt wind up at Misstinkzoo.

Who?

 

[cncchris33]

7 year deal paying him top 10 money in the country, even I think that's nuts.

Taking the Lane Kiffin rout up the food chain. Piss the bed everywhere he's been pretty much, and still lands on his feet in a better situation than he left.

 

[secking]

and LSU had Ben Simmons -- how did they fare ?

Better than they were this year, by far the worst team in the league. Simmons played fragile last year and this year.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

No way.

The 2 Porter brothers are automatic, Jeremiah Tillman is committed to Illinois and going to ask for release, he's from Zo's hometown East St. Louis.

It's amazing. I expect him to land with the Celtics or Lakers after tanking at Missouri

Haha...yep

 

[VolGee4]

To be fair, he's the last coach to take Tennessee dancing...

Both Missouri and Tennessee have been below average since 2015

There is a reason for that. He left us with a mess.

I liked CM as a man, but he had all those guys at Cal last year and lost in the first round of the NCAAT.

 

[JRVOL11]

I also seen that he hired the #1 player in country dad to his staff.

Yep, because Washington fired Lorenzo Romar.

 

[JRVOL11]

Yeah,I had a feeling Counzo was going to hire him.

Cuonzo Martin will add Michael Porter Sr as an assistant, per sources. Michael Porter Jr did not sign an NLI.

Michael Porter, Nathan Hale, Small Forward

Porter Jr is the #1 SF in the class of '17

 

[cwbytruckers]

Who?

Mizzou. MisStinkZoo

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Apparently Bakersfield owns Martin.

 

[sport3500]

Missouri overpaid for a seven year deal.

A first round exit should make the fans happy

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Mizzou. MisStinkZoo

I'm asking who is walker?

 

[vols 30]

I'm asking who is walker?

I think he's referring to Derrick Walker

 

[terrypedigo]

He is stealing.

He will stay and make the sweet 16 and bail to another school you can't blame him the grass is greener at the other school.
