When Gates said he has a group chat with all of the kids parents, that was gold. You can tell that both love their players & the players love them & each other too.
Best recruiters we've ever had. Prob the best two guys in the country at player evals & working the portal. Great culture. Built winning programs. Most fans are now thinking we've got a shot at a natty in both programs.
You know something I appreciate about Drink. Coke is a sponsor & he opens his pressy's by opening a can of diet coke & drinks some. Every other team they'll have the bottle sitting on the table unopened & drink bottled water. Sometimes it's the little things...
I 100% agree. I’m personally less worried about Drink and more worried about Gates and extremely worried about CY. I’ve listened to him speak about coaching in different aspects and I think he brings high level recruiting to balance Gates’s even keel coaching and the two together are a package that makes Mizzou the basketball school it can be that I grew up with.
I agree Mizzou has a solid level of talent and playing some damn good ball but I am not all aboard the deep in the tournament team train yet. The sec has some freaking great teams and winning games is going to be tough
Never really questioned DG's coaching ability last year just that he wasn't able to get ANY one of the bigs in the portal before that season. The lack of a paint presence was the problem all last season. However, you would have though that at least one time last season they could have figured out a way to overcome that, at least at home, but they never really shot 3's all that well either so no inside presence and not serious 3-point threat (due to injuries to Grill and Tonge) and that adds up to zero.. What's done is done. Gates is show his coaching chops, he's got a very good roster and is managing it well. But I do agree that even as good as Mizzou is playing they haven't really played a complete game (the kU game was close). I believe that this team is on the road to having a very special season.
John, Regarding the length of the CFP playoff, I don’t think it’s a problem of 8 vs 12 teams, or 4 weeks long. I think the real problem is the playoffs don’t start for nearly a MONTH after the regular season ends. Talk about a momentum killer for the sport. That means the final championship game is played 8 weeks later! I realize there’s conference championship week (for now) and then weeks of bowl games but that’s the big difference between CFP and other major sports. Can we start the playoff the week after regular season ends?
No excuses! We need more dad! Next time, he needs a guest appearance. I'm sure there's a lot of knowledge there. I'm gonna call the parking lot attendant to have them boot your car next time, but only for 20 mins. lol
It's very rare I see eye to eye with John, but on the coaching situation, I couldn't agree more. The administration needs to make these two feel like this is a new era in college sports, and you can make your mark at unsuspecting places. Gates is a ringer, he has found a way to get kids to come in and actually stay put when things aren't perfect, which has become so hard for programs like Mizzou. Kids are kids and make kid decisions. I guess relates to them well, and they want to play for him. Drink is losing guys, but he's still recruiting at a level never seen at this school.
@stevewhitaker1474 CY Young Assoc HC. Coached with Gates at FSU under L.Hamilton. They have a long standing relationship. When Gates went over to CLE ST, CY stayed at FSU till Gates got here. 1st hire Gates made. The guy is awesome. These are the kind of guys you want coaching your kids if you're a parent.
I think he's gonna be like Saban or Ferentz. He's in for the long hall. He's said repeated times he wants to do at MIZ what nobody else has ever done. As long as the fans & admin keep the money & support rolling in, I think Drink is good. He's making 9 million, #11 in the country.
@@JMFBizzle if this year is anything like I am thinking it will be it would be almost impossible to keep him he will get a head coaching job as long as it is not Arkansas, lol
Don't need one, lol. You can stick Peyton Marshall down there & have him just push guys around. Gray does a pretty good job. It's ashame Burns got injured. Dudes 7'5" 235 & can shoot a 3 like crazy. Impossible to block. Put 25lbs on him & with the way Gates & CY develop players, he could be an NBA guy. Either way when you score 85ppg, who cares if the other team scores 75, lol.
@richardtravis8988 Mizzou is #10 in point differential right now at 15.8ppg. We beat ARK by 18, VAN by 9, VAN by 16. I'm cool at 15.8 margin of victory, don't need 20.

Missouri basketball is playing like a top 10 team in the nation
Yessir. They're running both programs that way as well.

Thank you John., appreciate what you do.
100%
Thanks, appreciate the watch!

We love good coaches at MIZ
And we've got 2 great ones.
Any time you beat KU you got my vote
Yessir

AP came out. We're 22! Creeping up...
I said we'd be 20-25 last week after the FLA win.

Great time to be a tiger! MIZ

The culture is amazing
Love the show! MIZ
Appreciate you, ZOU!
ZOU! We all do!
You know what would be a great show? Bring CY on for an interview.
We don't hear from him much but his hiring press conference was awesome.
Who is CY?
@stevewhitaker1474 CY Young Assoc HC. Coached with Gates at FSU under L.Hamilton. They have a long standing relationship.
When Gates went over to CLE ST, CY stayed at FSU till Gates got here. 1st hire Gates made.
The guy is awesome.
These are the kind of guys you want coaching your kids if you're a parent.
3:57 ish the only wrong drink can/could do is leave or higher bad coordinators
I think he's gonna be like Saban or Ferentz. He's in for the long hall.
He's said repeated times he wants to do at MIZ what nobody else has ever done.
As long as the fans & admin keep the money & support rolling in, I think Drink is good.
He's making 9 million, #11 in the country.
We also need to lock down CY. He's a big part of our success. Love that guy.
@@JMFBizzle if this year is anything like I am thinking it will be it would be almost impossible to keep him he will get a head coaching job as long as it is not Arkansas, lol
By the way where can I pick up some Mark Mitchell’s Spicy Queso Hoops?
I think Schnuck's.
No shame in sounding like an arrogant Chiefs fan! (You weren’t) Got to enjoy these good years now!
Jacob Crews could make this team elite
If he can get his 3pt% back around 40+% he's gonna be a terror.
@@JMFBizzle facts
The only thing we don’t really have is a rim protector.
Don't need one, lol.
You can stick Peyton Marshall down there & have him just push guys around. Gray does a pretty good job.
It's ashame Burns got injured. Dudes 7'5" 235 & can shoot a 3 like crazy. Impossible to block.
Put 25lbs on him & with the way Gates & CY develop players, he could be an NBA guy.
Either way when you score 85ppg, who cares if the other team scores 75, lol.
@ seems like teams attack the paint harder in the second half and erase 20 points leads
@richardtravis8988 Mizzou is #10 in point differential right now at 15.8ppg. We beat ARK by 18, VAN by 9, VAN by 16.
I'm cool at 15.8 margin of victory, don't need 20.
Wished we cut all or at least 1 lower level game. Get to bowl season & playoffs sooner.
I'd like to get to the CFP sooner for sure.
Beat TEX & OLE MISS this week, & we're top 15.
Ol Miss will be tough
@@shannonmontgomery1419Tougher than KAN & @FLA?
I'm predicting a win the rest of the season. lol
Mizzou is 1.5 dogs tomorrow vs Texas
I secured tickets for Bama game only 22 dollars MIZ
That's great. Need a big crowd for that Wednesday game.
