After combo forward Kobe Brown committed to Missouri, I watched my cursor blink on the screen for three minutes as I mulled how to start this piece. All the while, a question kept pinging around my brain.
How much do you trust coach Cuonzo Martin?
Bringing Brown into the fold is in some ways a proxy for how you might respond. The pledge likely caps off the program’s recruiting for this class, bumping it up to 36th nationally and eighth in the SEC. It’s also another instance of Mizzou placing a long-term bet on a prospect who otherwise doesn’t seem all too compelling.
