I agree it’s pretty insane to leave Mizzou out of the Top 50, or even top 20 for next season. But get used to SLU being equally ranked, if not ranked higher in the coming years.

I can’t even begin to explain how ignorant leaving Mizzou out of the Top 50 is. That absolutely amazes me how you can even call this list credible without them EVEN IN THE TOP 50. If you’re really going to use the excuse of trying to figure out who to take out, just pick anyone past 20. I’ve seen them as high as 9 on other sites! They return their 3 leading scorers with a group of promising guys already in the system, as well as bringing in a Top 15 recruiting class! This is so ridiculous with schools like SLU and WICHITA STATE ahead of Missouri. Please educate yourself and repost this.

Nice list. Though it may be time to bump St. Louis up into the 20’s somewhere, taking into account the landing of big man Rob Loe. And maybe ‘X’ taking a dive.

How can you leave Missouri out of this? First look at the perimeter talent we will have. Kim English and Marcus Denmon, both great 3 point shooters and can take you off the dribble. Micheal Dixon, you saw what he was capable of doing in the NCAA tournament, a master at the pull up jumper and a very capable 3 point shooter, can also make remarkable drives. Incoming fresh Phil Pressey, should be able to make an instant impact. Thats just some of what we have on the perimeter. Now go inside and you have the always reliable Laurence Bowers, who can do it all, incoming fresh Tony Mitchell, who will definitely make an instant impact, the athletic and versatile Justin Safford and the shot blocking machine Steve Moore, and I might add that Ricardo Ratliffe is making a visit to Columbia this weekend, he is highly interested and we have made him an offer. He is described as a 6′9 scoring machine and will be more than capable of making an instant impact. Theres no reason that the Tigers won’t be contenders for the Big 12 title and no reason that they can’t make a deep run into the NCAA tournament.

Brian, Dave….Blake and I are actually huge Mike Anderson supporters. We both think Missouri will be a good team and we agree that the Tigers could easily be placed in the top 30 on this list, but so could a lot of teams. I think practically every team on this list could make a case for the top 25. We are going to continue to update this as much as we can as players declare/recruits announce decisions and Missouri is very likely to move in. We appreciate the comments and understand the thoughts on Missouri. As a huge fan of UAB basketball when Anderson was coaching the Blazers, I know how great of a coach he is. More often than not he gets more out of his players than he has, which is why Missouri is such a scary team. It’s easy to argue that the Tigers should be included and I don’t disagree at all. It’s certainly something we could discuss all day, along with talking about who we should take out.

Yeah, you forgot Missouri, who went as far as Kansas in the tourney. Top 5 scorers back plus 2 top-50 recruits coming in. Almost certainly the number 3 team in the Big 12 unless you want to debate Baylor.

MSu is gonna win the whole thing with Lucas back just so every one know they will be so deep that Lucious will probably be the 3rd PG because Appling is coming in. They will be the most deep and talented team in the country next year! GO GREEN

Missouri was in the tournament each of the last two years and brings in a top 15 (ESPN and Rivals) recruiting class and they don’t even make the top 50?

Great job dan and blake. I am very surprised that you think Syracuse is in the top 15. They lose two leaders in Rautins and probably Johnson, but have a ton coming back, so hopefully the new guys step up along with the progression of triche, jardine, joseph, and jackson
