Honestly I'd be surprised . Mizzou was out classed by nearly every decent team they played last year by quite a large margin. The new class is a great step but ultimately it'll probably just make them competitive again . A berth in the tourney is not out of the question but a few recruits isbt going to guarantee anything . As we saw at LSU and Washington the last few years you need depth to compete in a major conference. I think 17ish wins is likely . I've always liked Mizzou basketball so hopefully I'm wrong
LSU has nothing to do with Mizzou and its class. Washington had many factors including injuries. Its not just a few recruits....its big time recruits. Mizzou was not outclassed every game last year in fact they lost 9 games by 5 points or less....including to Xavier in OT. Kentucky only beat Mizzou by 10. They had several games were teams pulled away late, because we didn't have enough talented players. They do now and the players returning are good players.
